I will say that the customer service reps are fantastic. I’ve never had a negative experience when I’ve had to call. With that being said, I’ve had to call them way more than I think is necessary. The turnaround times between filing a claim and receiving the money is ridiculous. I have waited months for my money before. If that’s how long it takes then you need to be transparent about it and not advertise on the app that it will take 3-5 days. I also have had issues with the insurance reps denying things that shouldn’t have been denied, things that were blatantly missed on the forms, and making up diagnoses for my dogs that weren’t present. For example, one of my dogs who has since passed was on comfort care for cancer and for AVN of the hip. They didn’t approve any of his treatments for pain because they put a blanket statement saying it was DJD which was a preexisting condition (which that dog had never gotten any treatment for, it was only one line one time on a SOAP note for a yearly exam). I also had many issues with them delaying payment claiming that my vet had never sent them SOAP notes despite them being faxed, emailed and called about several times. I now get my SOAP notes emailed to me to submit with the invoices because my vet was so frustrated with this company. There are times I’ve had no issues at all but the issues I’ve had have been really bad and I’ve called and had to use my mean voice on the phone (which I never enjoy doing). I get a really good discount through my work so I’ve stuck with them, but when I consistently feel like people are trying to play games with my money and my fur babies I spend a lot of time and energy fighting back. Not trying to be negative, but if this company hopes to improve, I want to give honest feedback on my experiences.

🚨 Attention Pet Owners! 🚨

Be careful with Fetch. There is an excess on every condition your pet has that you claim for, meaning you don’t get any rebate until after you have exceeded the excess. In my case it was $200. They also took 2 weeks to even process my first claim and tell me that they approved it but wouldn’t pay me anything as it was under the excess amount. This sort of insurance is only good for really expensive visits like a costly emergency surgery, and even then you need to have the highest covers to get any decent sort of benefit. Other providers have much better coverage and service without the excess.

My dog has a problem expressing her anal glands. We've been to the vet multiple times and will continue to do so on a regular basis. The Vet wrote a letter explaining that my dog has a medical condition and that this is NOT a cosmetic, elective procedure. Even after submitting that letter to MetLife, you continued to deny my claims.

The website did not work correctly. I got as far as inputting my payment details, but clicking on the submit button didn't seem to do anything. I clicked it several times and I hope it doesn't process that many times. A modal popped up for a split second and then went away, and I was still on the payment entry screen with the submit button still active. I assumed it wasn't working but then I got an email seemingly confirming my submission went through? But I didn't get any confirmation when actually entering payment details so I'm not 100% sure. Overall, this has been a kind of tedious and frustrating process.

I have to submit SOAP notes just to get a claim processed? That’s ridiculous. I’ve had both of my dogs insured with MetLife for years, and the constant hoops I’m expected to jump through now are exhausting. For the thousands of dollars I pay annually, I shouldn’t be treated like I’m trying to cheat the system. The level of mistrust MetLife shows toward both me and my vet is insulting—and frankly, unacceptable. This company has become more trouble than it’s worth.

Too many emails. I stop reading them because most of them are "we received" "we are reviewing" "we read" "we reviewed" "we are thinking about it" I don't need to know every breathe you take.

We've used Healthy Paws for our two dogs' insurance for many years. Their rate hikes are absolutely astounding and unbearable once you start using the insurance or you're a few years in. Today, we got a letter saying they'll add a 2.99% credit card surcharge to their rates. Considering their parent company, Chubb Limited, brought in over 55 billion dollars in revenue in 2024, they should be able to cover credit card fees. Terrible. Would not purchase again. Stay far away from these money-hungry grubs.

I am not able to give a 5 star review here are the reasons for it:

I used to love MetLife. Now, they take a really long time to process claims and sometimes customer service isn’t great. I lost one of my dogs in Nov 2024 (my policy doesn’t renew until June). I called to report my pups death. I was informed that removing her would increase my rate (substantially) and if I did so, my deductible resets. Whaaat?
