Thank You for Taking Care of My Best Friend

When my husky tore his ACL, it felt like everything happened at once. Between the surgery, vet visits, X-rays, and all the worry that comes with seeing your beloved fur baby in pain, the entire experience was incredibly stressful. Thankfully, Pets Best provided real peace of mind during one of the toughest times. His surgery was covered almost entirely, and the claims process was unbelievably easy from start to finish. Filing the claim was quick and straightforward, and the turnaround time for reimbursement was impressive. Having those funds deposited into our account so quickly removed a huge financial burden and allowed us to focus on what mattered most, helping Tymber recover. I cannot thank Pets Best enough for the support, compassion, and reliability they showed throughout this journey. Knowing they were there for us made all the difference. Thank you, Pets Best, for taking such great care of my Tymber! ❤️🐾

PetsBest online wellness claims process was quick and easy. Received notification of processing almost immediately. Had an easy to read EOB via email within 2 days and money in the bank within a week. Can't ask for better service than that.

Adoption of our dog

Decided after all the money I spent on my beloved dog in her 14 years I decided to take out insurance. Hopefully my new dog won’t need as much medical care
