Best ever

My dogs have been insured with several different companies and Pets Best has been the best of all of them by far. It is easy to file a claim, they didn’t ask for his entire veterinary history, and they paid fairly quickly. Fenway and I are very pleased with Pets Best!

Insurance worthless if problems are found to be congenital

If the problems your pet is presenting with are found out to be from congenital issues you can kiss the several thousand goodbye that you just spent to find that out. But even worse than that, if you have an insurance company that is unresponsive after the claim is denied, runs when you want to discuss it and doesn't respond to requests to be heard, then you must have Pets Best. Be smart and avoid them; go with another company. Your pet and you deserve a more effective partner in your pet's health.
