What is the best pet health insurance?

I have a 5 year old Shih Tzu who had a problem with her eye. At first the Vet said it could be from diabetes, glaucoma, cancer, etc... He mentioned specialist and test which he said is very costly. He ran test and it was an minor infection which cleared up. But if it were something worse, I'd wish I had insurance. I have seen many online and a couple at the Vet. Can anyone recommend one and why? Thanks!!!

We love our Pets Best policy, and I'll tell you why. :) Affordable premiums with the most money reimbursed at the end of the day! When I was researching, I found that similar coverage cost me more with the other companies, but that if I went with a lower premium, some companies were pretty stingy in their reimbursements (i.e. I'd only get 40-50% of the bill back). (My monthly bill is in the $35 range for the best coverage.) We lost a dog to cancer when he was seven, and I'm grateful that now I can just tell the vet to do whatever it takes and only have to pay for the 20% plus my deductible (which is $75). Other companies will *tell* you that they pay 90%, but then they have a limit on basically every procedure so that they never really actually *pay* 90%. Check them out when you're looking and type the word "review" into a search with the company's name. You'll be surprised at what you find. Also, all companies have limits as to how much they will pay, and I found that Pets Best had the highest limits of all the companies I checked. Good luck!
