Excellent Insurance

Before we got our present puppy we decided we would have insurance for her. Vet bills have become so expensive now. I spent days researching all the different insurance policies available and decided Pets Best was the best one for us. Chrissy is now 2 and 1/2 years old and we got insurance on her right from the start. We have never regretted our choice. Pets Best helps with yearly exams, lab work, vaccinations, flea and tick medicine, dental as well as catastrophic bills. Dental was especially important to me because she is a Maltese-Yorkie and later in life their teeth and gums become horrible. It’s so easy to file a claim. You take a photo of your invoice and send it with your claim and 3-4 days later Pets Best deposits your money straight into your checking account. It couldn’t be easier. You also get your EOB through your email and it’s very easy to read. We are very happy with Pets Best. This insurance is correctly named!

Run from Pets Worst ( Best)

Evasive claim practices utilizing the “ keep asking for more documentation “ until you get so frustrated, you just accept the denial. My claim took over 90 days and cancelled after their process. I asked the customer service representative to review the countless calls and emails to improve their organization.

So Thankful for Pet Insurance!

We chose to sign up for Pets Best insurance when our dog was a puppy and it was a great decision. At 14 months, she was diagnosed with immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) which has required multiple medications, specialist vet visits, and rehab. We are able to provide what she needs much more easily because our Pets Best insurance covers much of her medical costs. We are so thankful we made the decision to get pet insurance before we ever needed it!

Baby Oliver

My six-month-old puppy had to have his right eye removed, which was absolutely devastating. I’m so grateful that I decided to enroll him in Pet's Best Insurance when he was just four weeks old. During such a difficult time, the claim process was incredibly easy and straightforward, which was one less thing to worry about while caring for my sick baby. I truly appreciate the support and peace of mind Pet's Best provided when we needed it most.
