IT WORKS!

Pup was seized in the middle of the night with excruciating pain. I rushed her to emergency vet and they evaluated, x-rayed and medicated by little fuzzy companion. The x-rays weren't cheap but when I submitted the claim, Pets Best paid it in record time. It's good to know that you get what you paid for with this pet insurance company.

Fast and efficient refund!

"My kitty had a seizure at the vet's office and they sent me to an emergency hospital since they had given her a med for the seizure and she needed monitoring (and they were closing early) they asked me if I wanted to do imaging to get to the bottom of it and I said yes and they reffered me to a neurologist and they did all sorts of testing and imaging and I maxed out my credit card to pay for it but I had trust on petsbest because you guys always come thru and cover whatever it is. My refund/rebate was processed quickly and I was able to pay it back before the due date of my credit card. So I'm thankful to you guys a lot!! I'm gonna be a customer forever! "

Confidence When You Need It

As usual, you never see it coming. Suddenly my dog became lethargic, stopped playing, stood in front of his food bowl for a minute before half-heartedly eating. I sometimes ponder the importance of the monthly premium for pet insurance, at least when things are going well. But suddenly they aren't, and I'm happy to not have to worry about making choices due to finances at least. Turns out Lincoln had spiked a fever, and after bloodwork and an x-ray, it was still a mystery. My vet's best guess was to treat with antibiotics, which she said in a small amount of mystery cases such as this, helped resolve the problem. A good guess, and Lincoln recovered well within just a few days. Within a couple weeks after filing my claim, Pets Best reimbursed me, and sent me my EOB, all which were completely easy to understand. In my experience, this has been consistent behavior for this company over Lincoln's entire lifetime since puppyhood. He is now 8, and it's a no brainer for me anymore.

Outstanding insurance

My beloved Shetland Sheepdog, started having severe health issues around six months ago, which has resulted in multiple doctor appointments and procedures. Reducing the stress over financial aspects of his prognosis has definitely helped in a difficult time. Outstanding and caring customer service.
