Definitely the best!…

I have had pets best on my dogs (mastiffs) for several years and I rave about them to anyone that will listen! From emergencies to chronic conditions, they have always provided seamless coverage for us. I had a different carrier prior to pets best and I switched over after they processed one claim and only reimbursed a fraction of what I paid since they pay what they think something should cost, not what the invoice shows.

I love Pet’s Best

I love Pet’s Best. Submitting a claim is easy, first of all. Time to review a claim may be backed up a bit but is never as long as they say. They cover what you pay for (in terms of your insurance selection and reimbursement percentage, less deductible). Customer service is pleasant to deal with. Reimbursement payment is prompt. Pet insurance is expensive but well worth it if there is a major issue. I had another company insuring a previous dog and I can say Pet’s Best is far easier to work with. Thank you!!!

I’m so happy I discovered Pets Best.
