I pay you hundreds of dollars a years for insurance. My recent vet bill was over $400 and you paid $12.50?

I had been with another pet insurance…

I had been with another pet insurance for other pets that have since passed away. Unhappy with this other nationally recognized insurance name, I sought out another company. I have been with Pets Best for almost 4 years with one of my dogs and just added a new puppy to the policy. Pets Best is superior to the other companies providing pet insurance. Claims are easy to submit and are processed in a timely manner. The prices for their policies is competitive and I have found them to cover more conditions with better reimbursement. Pets Best is the only policy that gives money towards spay and neutering when looking at the competition. This speaks volumes as most of you know that if you are not going mate your female dog, it is best to spay which can protect the reproductive health from cancer. The other policies will push extra cancer riders on you without providing any money back for spay/ or neutering that is preventative care for serious health problems that could develop later in life. I am happy knowing that my pets are protected by Pets Best.
