Pets Best Has Helped Me A Lot

I have been told by many people that pet insurance wasn't worth it but I can never take a chance on my dog's care. I got him Pets Best since he was 4 yrs old I never used it until this year, four years after, when he got very sick and had to be admitted at an ICU. I'm so grateful to have Pets Best bec I didn't have to second guess any recommended treatment, any follow up treatment. Now he's doing a lot better but still need constant follow up and meds. I would not be able to do this and may have to make a decision I wouldn't want to if it was not for Pets Best. Thank you so much!

SASHA LEVITIN LOVES ❤️ PETS BEST

I have been more than happy with pets best insurance my dog Sasha was a very healthy dog and I got the insurance from a recommendation for my chiropractor and 6 or 7 months later when he was a young dog still he developed diabetes and it developed into a process of many different doctors visits a whole different bunch of test and x-rays and a whole conglomerate of situations ranging to cataract surgery to hospital stays Etc and pets best has been more than wonderful taking care of everything I'm more than happy with the care they've provided as far as paying for his unexpected health issues I highly recommend them they've been wonderful and I think it was a blessing that I was able to have them prior to his diagnosis.

PetsBest is aptly named! It is the BEST for my pet.

Unfortunately I once again had to use Murfee's PetsBest insurance. Murfee at some people food that had a tiny amount of onion powder and garlic powder in it but it was enough for her to become very ill. Murfee was in the ER for 2 nights so we had quite the hefty bill. PetsBest came through for us once again with flying colors. I submitted all the vet records from the ER and after doing their due diligence PB paid their 90% no questions asked. I totally hate that we have had multiple claims this year but I totally love that PetsBest has come through for us each time. What a blessing it is to know that I will always be able to afford the best possible veterinary care for my beloved pup."

Pets Best was the second best choice of mine… getting pippa was first!!

"My Pippa, a 4pound Yorkie is a dream come true, wanting one for 45 years. I'm retired and on a limited fixed income. Pippa has some ailments that without PB insurance would either go untreated, undiagnosed or worse, shortening her very young life. I was fortunate enough to have had this policy since she was a young pup. Yes, rates have risen steeply but her healthcare is managed as well. We live alone, the two of us. With out her, I would be lost. Thank you, for watching over my precious companion! Karen E "
