Helpful for our puppy's 1st year

I have a 1-year-old dog and have had Pet's Best for about 9 months and they have been very easy to work with. Our puppy has gotten into a few things and we have used and appreciated having this insurance. It has been easy to submit claims and receive reimbursement. We are very pleased with Pet's Best.

Such a relief!

Vet bills stack up fast. Last year I lost my other cat, and the last thing I wanted to worry about during that time was the bills. This year my other cat got sick, and knowing I was covered just took so much of that extra stress off so I could focus on the important stuff. Submitting my claim in the app was super quick and easy, it was approved faster than I expected, and the explanation of benefits left me with no questions. This was my best Grownup Decision yet! By the way, go for the higher premium. $60 a month for a $250 deductible is absolutely the move. I hit my deductible as soon as the doctor ordered labs. 100% worth it.
