Wellness visit

I have an 16 month old mini Schnauzer named Sadie. I have never had pet insurance before so when I got her I decided to get it. I am so glad I did. The peace of mind and ease of the claim process is so easy I am thankful I got it. The claims process is easy and fast. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of getting pet insurance.

I always hope that I never have to use it but I'm absolutely elated that I have this coverage for my dog Ruby Rhod. My dobermans have always been a large part of my life as I am every part of theirs. Over the years my dobermans have delt with cancer, cardiomyopathy, diabetes basically every thing that can happen to dogs when they reach their elderly ages and we have always made it a point to make sure that they have the coverage that they needed so we are able to give them the care they deserve. I have had other coverages and Pets Best is by far the best one out here. Thanks for helping keep my furry family together.

I pay quite a bit of money to this insurance and I haven’t put in many claims, but every time I do, they get denied. This is concerning and I am considering to switch companies.
