Thank you for helping me when my first…

Thank you for helping me when my first claim did not work. Everyone I spoke to was super helpful and I feel grateful I have been paying for this accident insurance for so long to protect my pet.

Terminal Illness Made a Little Easier to Handle

We couldn't be happier to have pet insurance through PetsBest. It has enabled us to give the best possible care to our beloved dog as he battles a terminal autoimmune disease in what would otherwise be the prime of his life. We're grateful to not be limited by our finances as we strive to maximize the quality of his final months with us.

Truly a Life Saver

My beloved doodle happily has been living his best life after having a cancerous, golf-ball-sized tumor removed from his mouth two years ago. Additional follow-up treatment to keep cancer from spreading/recurring is only possible because of Pets Best. Without their help, I would not be able to afford his ongoing treatment. Thanks, Pets Best.
