Fair and honest
Fair and honest, made 4 claims within a month and all were approved within the month. After having 7 dogs I don’t know why I never had pet insurance before. I have a accident, illness and wellness on 2 dogs currently and it feels good to have that piece of mind.

Excellent Choice for Worry-Free Pet Parenting
We've had Pets Best for 7 years and it has taken so much worry out of being a pet parent. We were always happy with the coverage - but when our dog was diagnosed with cancer, it changed everything. Pets Best enabled us to make choices about what was best for our girl without worrying about costs. It was such a gift to have this peace of mind during an emotional time. Now, we have it for all our dogs and are certain we'll always be Pets Best customers.

Terrible pet insurance
I have had Pets Best insurance for a year. My dog tore his ACL so I got insurance then he tore the other ACL. Pets Best wouldn't cover surgery for his other leg because it was considered pre-existing even though it was the other leg. I know this is common with pet insurance, so that wasn't the issue for me, even though that's obviously seriously lame too. They also wouldn't cover any of the meds they had to give him to calm him down to take the xray, the meds they prescribed for the pain for tearing his ACL, or the medication I got him for his anxiety because the anxiety is considered pre-exiting too simply because he had been brought to a vet before I adopted him who noted that he exhibited anxious behavior. He's a chihuahua terrier mix, so duh he exhibited anxious behavior. And also, I just have to laugh that anxiety is even considered a "pre-existing" condition. So basically, pets best won't cover a single thing and 100% is not worth it.
