Amazing Pet Insurance!

I have never been happier! Pets Best Insurance has been absolutely amazing and has done so much to help our 10yr min pin Lily! She was diagnosed with heart disease Sept 2021, and has had to see a cardiologist for regular exams, tests, and medicine. After a year she needed a pacemaker. If not for Pets Best Ins I do not know how we would have been able to afford the Cardiologist visits much less the pacemaker surgery. Lily is recovering from her surgery and doing excellent! She is off two of the three meds and has a new lease on life. She is so happy and so much more energetic now that her heart is beating at a normal pace. Thank you so much Pets Best!!!

Timely and Responsive

Pets Best is very timely and responsive. My main experience is with the claims process, but other than not having a button to cancel or withdraw a claim, I don’t have any complaints. Great experience so far!

Ahead of schedule

When I first submitted my claim, I received a message saying it would be 30-40 days before I get any monies due back. I was pleasantly surprised that it happened before those dates. Thank you, this will truly help with the unexpected vet bill for the month.
