Pets Best is amazing

Pets Best is amazing! They always process claims very quickly and get you reimbursed! Most times in under a week, which is incredible. We've had them for three plus years and they've delivered every time. I appreciate how simple it is to submit a claim. I give Pets Best my highest recommendation!

Great service and easy website!

When I was shopping for pet insurance, I found Pets Best website was very easy to navigate and it provided all the information I needed. They offered many coverage options and the quoting process was so easy. Since my 6-month old puppy was eating and chewing everything in sight, I decided it would be wise to purchase accident and illness coverage in case she swallowed something and needed surgery. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected her to break her leg, but at 10 months of age, she stepped in a hole while running in the back yard. It was a horrible experience. The break was so bad she needed emergency surgery. The bone had to be held together with a plate and screws. Needless to say this was very expensive and I was so glad we had purchased insurance. Now came the test to see how well our insurance company would handle this. I submitted the claim with all the appropriate information and waited. It was a very easy online process. Much to my surprise, they paid the claim exactly as was stated in the policy without any resistance, arguing, or phone calls. They sent me updates via email regarding their process, and when all was said and done, a deposit appeared in my bank account. Because of the severity of the injury, our pup needed follow-up visits and additional x-rays on several occasions, but they were all covered. I am more than pleased with the exceptional service provided by Pets Best! It was a welcomed relief after experiencing that horrible injury and the ordeal of recovery. By the way, our pup is well on her way to a full recovery and she is so happy to be running again. : ) Thank you, Pets Best!

I love Pets Best! My dog has had more than a couple of mishaps that landed him in the emergency vet. Pets Best makes it easy to file a claim and always pays pretty quickly.
