Both of my dogs have had trauma to their teeth before because of either rock biting or just biting something too hard. Every time I have had a claim when that has happened, Pets Best has come through with covering most of the cost. Pets Best understands dogs will be dogs and that sometimes they get into things or do things that they just shouldn't do. Go figure!!
