Pets Best Truly the Best

I’ve tried other providers, but when I adopted Willow, Pets Best is the only one who would cover her due to a preexisting condition. They covered her for anything new & I really appreciated them. They’ve got my business for now and for all my future pets.

1st year with Pets Best

Our first year having this insurance on our new Labrador puppy has been good. Claims are now processed more quickly than they were when we first got the policy, instead of 4 weeks, our last claims were about 24 hours. Just got our renewal and the change in premium was no big deal compared to our other dog on an insurance. That insurance has risen every single renewal. My only complaint is the Best Wellness Plan that covers vaccinations, spay/neuter etc. i misunderstood the amount they cover as “per” vax not commutative. Thought it would be a good investment for all the puppy vax they get the first year. Well, it tops out at only $50 total, not $50 per vax., I dropped this coverage at renewal. Otherwise happy with the policy.

Late claim submission

The fact that I was able to submit claims after two years is incredible. This insurance has been so good to me and I haven’t ever had any issues.

Simple claims process

"I have had Pets Best insurance on two pets. This was the first time I have had to file a claim. I appreciated the ease of the online claims process and the multiple emails with the claim status. Having this coverage allowed me to do what was needed to save my fur babies life. I am very satisfied with the coverage and service I received from Pets Best.
