Very Helpful

I thinks it great to have pet insurance. It helped a lot. Just one thing I don’t understand is an annual limit on things like flea/tick and heart worm which are monthly medications but it only covers one time.

You don't always get what you pay for - Sometimes you get More!

Three years back, I obtained 3 or 4 quotes for pet insurance and Pets Best was the lowest for what I was seeking. A month ago I submitted a claim for the first time. I expected little or no updates and two or three requests for more info before any payout but was pleasantly surprised that Pets Best let me know that they received my claim, provided an estimate for the claim review period and even let me know that they were running a little slower than typical. Then, I received a message from them with an itemized list of what they would cover. I agreed with their list and couldn't be happier with them as my pet insurance company.

So grateful for Pets Best!!

Thank you for making a very stressful situation much more manageable. Our puppy was very sick, and we had to take her to the emergency vet (she is recovering well now). Your quick response to our claim and kind words were such a blessing! I recommend Pets Best to EVERYONE I know with a fur baby!!! You are amazing!
