Hamilton's Stones

Our dog Hamilton was referred to a specialist by his regular VCA Vet for problems and complications from bladder stones. My recent online claim for this visit was processed very quickly and in accordance with my policy. I have been a member of Pet's Best for many years and this claim, and one other previous claim(s) a few years ago, were both good experiences. Based on these experiences I would recommend Pet's Best Insurance. Hamilton is still going to require surgery for this issue, and the insurance provides us with one less thing to worry about, knowing that it will help to get Hamilton the care he needs, from the vets he needs, and helps make hard decisions because of treatment costs a little easier. Thank You Pet's Best.

Overpriced!!

Overpriced!! Takes up to 45 days to get a claim processed and receive any money's if there is. And after a year of service you raised insurance for almost 12% and the best explanation I got was ,,well everything goes up. So,,,I found better,,,half the price insurance for my pet. Actually i should thank you for pushing me out!!!! Good bye.
