Pets Best

"The insurance worked just the way I had hoped it would. An emergency trip to the vet hospital after my dog ate half a bag of trail mix, 48 hours of treatment with fluids and observation: doggy had no symptoms and was never sick, I received a big bill but submitted and received reimbursement very quickly, no questions asked. I am recommending Pets Best to my pet owning friends. "

Good Customer Service!

"Our Shih-Tzu dog Pema has had multiple vet visits this year for pneumonia/lung infection - and we have appreciated Pets Best customer service in taking care of our claims - usually within a week and depositing the claim reimbursements into our checking account. Thank you!"

"Myself and my four legged son dog have been going through difficult time of our lives. Pets best really help us not only financially but emotionally. Thank you very much for your services and support. Without Pets Best my dog would have gone by now. I would recommend any pet’s owner get pet insurance through Pets Best. The claim process is very easy via phone app and there is always human pick up the phone for customer support. - Kevin Sethapun"

Why Pets Best is a great insurance company

Pets Best is a great insurance company to work with. I had one of two pets that I have insured with Pets Best pass away. The agent I spoke to have the policy canceled on the pet I lost was so supportive and understanding. I felt like I was talking to a friend, not a stranger. Keep up the good work. It's what separates you from the rest!
