We purchased our fur baby at 8 weeks, he had blood work done by our vet and had elevated liver numbers. He came to us with insurance for 30 days, after that time I switched to Embrace because I had another dog insured with them . Our baby was never sick until over 16 months later and then had pancreatic. Embrace denied the claim because he had a history of elevated liver enzymes even though that had never made him sick. Really check what you are getting because I truely believe this was unfair. I now know there are a few great companies that only have 6 month wait on previous conditions but in my dogs case there was not any previous problems or symptoms except for slightly high liver enzymes.

We've had met life for the entirety of one of our pups life. We got it the day we got him. You would think that given the fact that we've made claims for every vet visit and all his issues for the last 2 years, they would have all records on file and payouts would be pretty prompt - within the 3-5 day window that's advertised. But no. In the last year I would say only 1-2 claims here and there are within that window. Most are drug out for 10 days or more. And when emergencies come up and we drain our account for it, time is everything hence the reason for insurance to help with these costs. But they keep us in a bind by dragging out the payment. They say they need documents from the vet, but I've uploaded every receipt and soap note he's ever got, yet every time "more information is needed". Now that being said, they have been good about actually paying claims without a bunch of run around. Customer service is generally nice - minus some issues when a dog died, and we rescued another dog. It seems there is a big lack of communication. Take it from me. If you find yourself in a situation where a dog passes, remove them from your policy after the end of life claim. Make sure they are off the policy before adding a new dog. It will save you so much headache. In short. Payment speed and training seems to be the biggest flaws. And for reference the first year we had them we never waited more than the advertised 3-5 days for reimbursement. We didnt change the documents we uploaded or the vets we used (we use the same 2 offices for everything). Met life has just chosen to slow down on the reimbursement for some reason. They also don't tell you why the claim is drug out unless you call in - in which they always say more information needed from the vet.

Requesting a claim is easy. However, they don't let you submit the medical records from your vet. They email your vet and CC you. My vet submitted medical records for 2 dates. They only approved the 1st one. They continue to email the 2nd one. I have emailed them, uploaded my document myself and messaged them. They continue to email my vet and say it will be on "hold." It is a lot of work on your end to submit a claim.

Like customer service, Dislike claim process, dislike time it takes to pay.

Advertisement for metlife and when you are signing up highlighted quick claim process. It doesnt say 7-10 days or longer to review & process claims. It is in the handbook very deep its not something clearly highlighted. I've waited up to 15 days for a claim to be processed. I make sure to even get SODA from vet office and submit all together and the time frame is still long. I've notice while deductible is still due claims are processed quicker as its applied toward deductible 3-5 days to process.

They are taking months to pay claims and when I call customer service I get a different story every time

My insurance used to increase gradually each year by about 5-10%, but it recently more than doubled- from $80 to $200.

They deny 99% of claims. They always say pre-existing conditions, when they are not. When I first got the dog from the shelter, his first sickness they denied for pre-existing condition. I should have took that as a sign.

I have paid in 83$ a month for 5 years. My bills were over 3k and I recover 400$?

If I could give zero stars, I would. We signed up for Embrace Pet Insurance believing it would help when our dog needed medical care, instead, it’s been nothing but a nightmare. After paying over $2,500 in vet bills (for issues Embrace was supposed to help cover), they spent months ignoring my messages and emails. They kept charging us for four full months of “coverage” before finally deciding they wouldn’t cover anything. Our dog was diagnosed with a lipoma (a benign fatty tumor), and somehow, Embrace used that to exclude every single future dermatological condition, including cancer. To make matters worse, they even denied coverage for an acute ear infection, claiming it was related to the lipoma. That’s not only absurd, it’s unethical. I repeatedly emailed and called, and every time they blamed “missing documents” that our vet had already sent multiple times. It’s hard not to feel like this was all just a way to squeeze more money out of us while delaying any real response. We paid hundreds of dollars in premiums for “insurance” that did absolutely nothing. I’ve never experienced such a blatant bait-and-switch. Save yourself the stress and heartache, do not trust Embrace Pet Insurance. They took our money, refused to communicate, and left us with thousands in bills they were supposed to help with.
