Customer Story: How Pets Best Helped Mable Get the Emergency Care She Needed
Jul 31, 2026 | Stacy Painter
When Mable suddenly stopped eating, her family knew something was wrong.
What started as diarrhea and lethargy quickly became more concerning as day after day passed without improvement. Despite multiple veterinary visits and extensive testing, the cause of her illness remained unclear. Because Mable refused to eat for five days, she couldn't take the oral medications her veterinarians prescribed.
As her condition worsened, her family rushed her to an emergency veterinary hospital for more advanced diagnostics and treatment.
There, veterinarians discovered significant inflammation in Mable's intestines. She was started on IV fluids and IV medications—the treatment she desperately needed. Slowly but surely, Mable began eating again, and before long, she was back to her happy, healthy self.
Her owner says having pet insurance made all the difference.
"I would have not been able to afford that care without having insurance. Pets Best honestly gave me the peace of mind to get her the treatment she needed. I am so grateful and strongly recommend this insurance to friends and family."
Unexpected illnesses can happen to any pet, and emergency veterinary care can quickly become expensive. For Mable's family, having Pets Best meant they could focus on getting her the care she needed instead of worrying about how they would pay for it.
Today, Mable is back to enjoying life, and her family has the peace of mind of knowing they're prepared for whatever comes next.
