Foxy is fine!!

My only complaint about my vet is that I was first in line at 9a.m. on the day of surgery. I traveled 50 miles to the clinic, as they only do that in Pensacola. I was advised that I would receive a call when Foxy goes into surgery. No time line was offered -- she went into surgery after 6pm!!! This is highly unacceptable, but Dr. Story is the 'only game in town ' as an opthomology vet.

Best Pet Insurance

Excellent service, claim filing is fast and easy on the app and I can always get answers to questions quickly. Payments are always accompanied with a breakdown that is easy to understand. Thanks PetsBest!

Pets Best is amazing!

I recently lost my dog Olive unexpectedly during a procedure. It was heartbreaking. I was so distraught I could not bear to even call them to have Olive removed from my policy, and I kept procrastinating to avoid the pain, knowing there would be a premium due. However, Pets Best paid the final claim and sent me an email that they were so sorry to hear about Olive and removed her from the plan and updated the premium. They have been wonderful and empathetic. I highly recommend Pets Best.

First time using pet insurance

Recently we got a new pup- Pets Best was recommended to us from a friend. We found the coverage that was perfect for us (to include coverage for some well visit needs as well), downloaded the ap, and found the entire process easy, transparent, and overall great! Reimbursement was quick, and seamless. Account linked for both monthly auto payments, but also auto reimbursement. Would absolutely recommend Pets Best.
