I'm so glad I got the insurance for my cat. I'm very happy with it. I just filed my first claim and got reimbursed. The process was really easy. And they make it very clear upfront about deductibles, reimbursement percentage, what they cover ect. It's way better than human insurance.

I'm extremely happy with Pets Best!

I'm extremely happy with Pets Best insurance. My dog Jayda is starting to get older and I decided in October of last year it would be good to get her insurance as with age comes with more vet visits and health problems. I'm really glad that I did because we recently found an unidentifiable growth on her side and the vet urged my husband and I to have it removed. Pets Best reimbursed me a significant portion, even after taking a deductible and co-pays into account. They also covered more costs from her wellness exam than I had expected them to. This is such a huge relief to me, as I now know if she has another medical emergency it will be covered and I won't have to worry about it financially. Customer service is kind, understanding and prompt. I truly recommend this insurance to anyone who is looking to cover a furry family member.
