Pets Best is great at communicating their timeline for review of claims and providing detailed information after claim review is complete. Very transparent and friendly interface.

I have had health insurance on my dog…

I have had health insurance on my dog for 5 yrs and fortunately I haven’t had to use it until now. My dog became I’ll very quickly it ended up being bloat and I rushed him to the emergency hospital it happened on a Sunday evening. They did an X-ray and found he had bliss and he needed surgery NOW. I had to pay a total of $5600 and thank god for pets best I was able to afford to do this knowing I would get most of the cost refunded. It only took them 2 weeks and the money is in my account. Thank you once again for everything

Prompt & Helpful!

I submitted a claim for my cat that had some dental work done. Not only did Pets Best keep me updated throughout the entire claim process, but they were super prompt and efficient, and outlined the explanation of benefits very clearly.

Definitely the best!

I've had policies on my 3 dogs for several years and not needed them. This past year I had one dog require emergency surgery and now another with an undiagnosed mobility issue that is requiring multiple visits and different types of treatment. So far pets best has been very easy to work with and not given me any hassle about the multiple claims. I had another insurance prior to pets best that really makes it clear how much better the coverage is with pets best. I recommend them to everyone I know!
