Founded in 2005 by Dr. Jack Stephens, the "father" of the pet insurance industry in North America, Pets Best has made it its mission to provide affordable insurance plans to cat and dog owners nationwide to end economic euthanasia.
In 2008, the founder of Pets Best, Dr. Jack Stephens, co-founded the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA). This same year, Pets Best launched in Japan. Pets Best was awarded the Best Place to Work in Idaho award for 5 consecutive years from 2013-2017.
Community Involvement
Pets Best is involved with various animal charities, including the Idaho Humane Society, Dogs on Deployment, Pet Peace of Mind/St. Luke's, and much more. Pets Best has recognized veterinarians for their outstanding work since 2010 through their My Vet's the Best contest. Pet owners can nominate a veterinarian that has gone above and beyond to help animals. The reward is $1,000 for the vet to treat pets in need, as well as a printed letter of recognition and window, cling seal. Past winners used their money to nurse an abused dog back to health, treat stray animals, and help get medical help for pets in impoverished areas.
Customer Support
One of Pets Best best features is its 24/7 pet helpline powered by whiskerDocs®. This helpline is included in Pets Best policies and has no limit usage. If your pet appears to require medical attention at any time of day or night, you can get in touch with a veterinary expert and determine the best course of action.
Furthermore, the Pets Best website contains a ton of useful pet care information including articles and guides. They distribute a monthly newsletter for pet owners and also host dedicated social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest.
Deductible: Customers pay a small amount before the insurance company covers the remaining costs of the vet bills. Per-incident deductibles incur for each new expense. An annual deductible refers to money the customer must pay each year.
Co-pay: Co-pay is the percentage customers pay after the deductible. Then the insurer will pay the remaining amount. For example, if your co-pay is 10%, the insurer will cover 90% of the bill.
Maximum coverage: Insurers will limit the amount covered. After that, the pet owner will need to pay the rest. Some insurers have the option of unlimited coverage.
Premium: The amount of money the customer pays monthly for pet insurance. Waiting period: The amount of time before your coverage starts. Sometimes pet insurance providers will not cover an illness or injury if it occurs during the waiting period.
Pre-existing conditions: Pet insurance providers do not cover pre-existing. This refers to a health condition that exists prior to the insurance coverage.
When choosing a plan, consider whether you want the following types of coverage depending on the needs of your pet:
- ∙ Preventative/wellness care
-
- ∙ Hereditary conditions
-
- ∙ Dental care
-
- ∙ Unexpected illness and injuries
-
- ∙ Diagnostic tests
-
- ∙ Surgeries Hospitalizations

If your pet is at greater risk for certain medical treatments due to its breed or age, you might want to consider choosing a provider and plan that covers breed-specific and genetic conditions. However, it is important to note that most providers do not provide coverage for pre-existing conditions.
- ∙ Medication Supplements or prescription food
