Pets Best is amazing

Pets Best is amazing. They have covered everything my vet has done to provide the best health care for my pup. I have had other pet insurance companies in the past that decline payment on most of my claims!

Great Insurance

Pets Best has been good for us and our dogs...we have had them for a little over 2 years now and since our dogs were 10 weeks old. We have looked around for other insurance but we have continued to stick with Pets Best as they have been very good to us.

Pets Best is so easy to work with

Pets Best is so easy to work with. I submit all my claims online and my claims are all paid by direct deposit. So easy and usually fast.

Highly Recommend PetsBest!!

I have had PetsBest insurance for about a year and a half now and I'm extremely happy with their service. Not only is their customer service top notch (I was disconnected with a customer service rep mid conversation, and she actually called me back!), but their processing of paperwork submitted for reimbursement is fast and easy. My reimbursement is deposited directly into my bank account! I highly recommend them!

Everyone should have Pets Best…

Everyone should have Pets Best insurance for their pet! When my dog got attacked by a deer, it was a costly ~$5,500 vet bill for surgery and consults. I filed the claims quickly and was reimbursed a week or two later. We would’ve been really stressed both emotionally and financially to pay out of pocket for this wild freak accident and my dog’s treatment. I 100% recommend all pet owners to have this insurance. Great policies and customer service as well as timely claim processing. Thanks!!
