Love this company!

Pets Best is a great Insurance Company for pets. Most of the time we get a lot of our money back from the services we have done at our Vet's Office. We recently had her spayed and chipped. We are getting about 1/2 our money back.

I suppose I need to review my policy…

I suppose I need to review my policy and then shop around. I had a policy with another insurer that was half the cost and covered far more. This is now my second or third claim and it seems you get pennies paid back and I am paying over $100/mo for a 5 year old healthy dog!

Peace of mind!!

It's is 100% worth getting Pets Best insurance. They have covered almost all of my emergency vet bills (nearly $3k!) for my 4-year old Pitsky, Mia, who suddenly fell very very ill the other week. The last thing you want to worry about are costs when your furry loved one's life is on the line! I knew I was safely insured so I could do the needed testing and care for her!

I made my first claim and it was…

I made my first claim and it was accepted and paid within 3 weeks. Process was so easy. I uploaded the receipt from my vet and waited. The money was deposited into the account that I had linked.

Highly Recommended!

Admittedly, Pets Best Pet Health Insurance is the only pet insurance we have ever had for our pets, but I can't think of anything I would want to change about it, so I have no incentive to change companies. Our experience with Pets Best has always been positive, and when I have been confused about something, they have been easy to reach, helpful, and friendly in their responses. Based on our experience, I can happily recommend Pets Best!
