My senior dog was initially diagnosed with hip dysplasia. That is frequently a misdiagnosis for IVDD. After eventually determining that was likely the cause he needed an MRI to confirm.

How does Embrace Pet Insurance work?

When you sign your pet up with Embrace, you can take them to any vet for the services they need. You are not required to use a vet within a specific network. Once your pet has been treated, you complete the claim form, submit it and are reimbursed for services and treatment covered under your plan.

There are different coverage levels to choose from, and you can downgrade or upgrade your policy at any time. When you insure your pet with Embrace, they are covered for life. Your coverage never drops based on your pet's age or health.

Cancer treatment, behavioral therapy and breed-specific conditions are covered, and the company reimburses you for vet exam fees. Dogs and cats under the age of 15 are eligible for full coverage, and pets older than this are eligible for accident-only coverage.

Embrace has a unique online resource that lists the most popular dog breeds and their most common breed-specific medical conditions. This can help pet owners choose the right coverage for their pets.

Embrace Wellness Rewards program

Embrace’s Wellness Rewards program, which can be added to your policy, reimburses you for preventative care. This includes wellness exams, microchipping, spaying/neutering, vaccinations and flea medication.

There are three annual allowance options for Wellness Rewards reimbursement:

  • $250 allowance per policy year
  • $450 allowance per policy year
  • $650 allowance per policy year

Embrace Pet Insurance coverage

Embrace is transparent about what policies do and do not cover. The company’s website lists the different coverage options and defines eligibility requirements and guidelines for preexisting conditions.

Accidents
Accident-only insurance is only available for pets 15 and older. This plan covers your pet if it ingests a foreign object, is cut or is hit by a car. This plan reimburses you up to $5,000 each year. You’ll pay a $100 deductible once a year, and then you're reimbursed 90% of your veterinary bills when your pet experiences an accident.
Illnesses
Embrace covers every illness from nose to tail with no precondition limitations. This means if your pet is prone to breed-specific illnesses, medical treatment is covered under your plan.
Dental issues
Dental pain can be very uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous for pets. Dental work on animals can also be very expensive. Embrace covers dental treatment for periodontal disease, gingivitis, root canals, crowns, oral masses and extractions. Up to $1,000 in dental work is covered per year.
Cancer and chronic conditions
Cancer coverage is included in all plans and includes everything from the consultation testing and radiation to chemotherapy, surgery, hospitalization and rehabilitation. Cancer treatments are one of the most expensive medical treatments for pet owners, and chemotherapy can run $150 to $600 a dose. Cancer coverage means you can give your pet a fighting chance without worrying about how you’re going to afford it.

Embrace Pet Insurance also covers a wide range of treatments including:

  • Alternative therapies and rehabilitation
  • Behavioral therapy
  • Specialist care
  • Emergency veterinary care
  • Diagnostic testing
  • Hospitalization and surgery
  • Prescription drug coverage
  • Prosthetics and mobility devices

Conditions not covered

The list of what Embrace does not cover is shorter than the list of what it does cover. Basically, Embrace covers treatment and services that are crucial to the health and well-being of your pet, but not cosmetic services, breeding, whelping or preexisting conditions.

How much does Embrace Pet Insurance cost?

Dog insurance costs average around $30 to $40 per month, and cat insurance averages around $15 to $20 per month. Embrace has a one-time enrollment fee of $25 and a $1 monthly processing fee for those who pay monthly.

Embrace lets you customize your plan, so you can choose the deductible, the reimbursement percentage, any riders or optional coverage add-ons and annual maximums. You know your pet and your budget, and Embrace has coverage options to fit them both.

    My dog needed to have PLDA surgery for a torn ligament, and the cost was going to be $5-$6,000, with my co-pay being 10%. On surgery day, I paid my vet in cash for the 10% co-pay, but my best friend put the surgery cost on his credit card because I didn’t have enough room on my card for it. I really felt guilty about that, so the following week I called to check on the processing of the claim (refund deposit), and asked if there was such a thing as getting it expedited. I explained that I had to borrow the funds to pay for surgery, and the claim rep understood my situation, and was so kind and understanding that she put me on hold to see what she could do.

    To my surprise, she was able to reach out to my claim rep and get my claim expedited for me! I was so appreciative. When a company is willing to listen to your situation, understand the predicament you’re in, and try to help resolve it for you, go that extra mile for you, I’m always impressed with that personal touch! There’s so little of it left these days! I will keep my business with a company like this.

      We first purchased Embrace Pet Insurance when we secured a a kitten Maine Coon. As the days progressed, it became evident that a cat as active as ours should have insurance since she was into everything you can imagine. She is also a jumper! This is the second time we have filed a claim. The first was for an injury when she fell off her cat tower and this one is for a Well Visit. This breed is also famous for hip dysplasia in later years. Our first Maine Coon died a tragic death, and it cost us $5,000.00 in just 3 days that she lived. We learned our lesson quickly.

      Embrace is a solid insurance company and they are very good about approving reimbursements quickly and fairly once the deductible is met. We have been paying for 3 years and in the past year my pup was diagnosed w/ Cushing’s. This insurance has helped even after all the years paid monthly and the deductible. I’m prolly around 4000, just with premium and deductible after paying for 3 years and just starting claims. So I’ve gotten about that much back in vet bills this year. I’m still down even with the vet reimbursements, and given the fact I renew in August and the premium jumps due to claims this year because my pup will need treatment ongoing once stabilized it still will be worth the extra. Eventually I will break even I’m sure. Highly recommend.

      Embrace has been nothing but wonderful. I've had two pets covered with them now and one has since passed away and through that experience, which was quite brief due to her onset of cancer that we didn't know about, I really came to trust Embrace. I appreciate everything they've done for both of my dogs and they're always patient, very explanatory when needed, and have gone above and beyond to help me through some of these heart issues losing a pet at 6 years old.

      I would recommend them explicitly as they have done nothing but been supportive and quick to reimburse claims and even overturned and appeal diagnosis that my veterinarian was involved in writing a letter about. To me I felt heard after this. It was quite a large diagnosis and her letter and the claims team work together to encourage me to appeal this and it actually worked. I just feel embraced as the best to work with. They really care for your animals and as a USAA member I get a very very fair premium.

      First of all, Wesley contacted me almost immediately while I was comparing multiple pet insurance companies. He came across as a knowledgeable friend rather than a salesperson, and he earned my trust quickly through his authentic, friendly demeanor and remarkable patience as I interrupted myself and jumped from topic to topic. Think "squirrel"—that's me.

      Before discussing plans, Wesley took the time to ask questions and truly listen to what was important to me regarding my pet's care. He carefully explained the accident and illness coverage, using real-life examples to help me understand what types of events would qualify. He broke down the coverage options, deductibles, and reimbursement levels clearly and objectively, never trying to steer me toward a particular choice. Even after providing a quote, he was happy to recalculate different options when I asked to adjust the numbers several times.

      His explanation of the wellness program was especially helpful. He described it as being similar to a flexible spending account (FSA), which immediately made sense to me. These are expenses I know I will have every year anyway, so it essentially helps me set aside money in advance for routine veterinary care. In fact, I delayed an annual visit this year because I didn't have the cash available at the time. With this program, I won't find myself in that situation again.

      After we completed the quote and compliance recording, I told Wesley that I was also considering Embrace and Lemonade and wanted to review their wellness programs before making a final decision. I expected the reaction many customers receive at that point—a salesperson becoming noticeably frustrated or disengaged. Instead, Wesley remained just as kind, patient, and helpful as he had been at the beginning of the call.

      He even stayed on the line while I reviewed Lemonade's quote. As we compared the plans, I realized that Lemonade's wellness program itemizes many components of routine care separately, which would have made submitting claims more confusing for me and ultimately provided less value. What impressed me most was that Wesley never criticized the competing company. Instead, he helped me slow down, review the details carefully, and recognize the differences for myself.

      Wesley also has a thorough understanding of the product. He never passed me off to another department or treated me like a number. Too often today, customers encounter automated systems, scripted conversations, and highly compartmentalized service where no one seems empowered to answer questions directly. I honestly can't remember the last time I interacted with a company where I spoke with someone who could naturally navigate the nuances of a real conversation and provide knowledgeable answers throughout the entire process. It was genuinely a pleasure speaking with Wesley. By the end of the call, he felt more like a trusted advisor than a salesperson. I'm grateful for his help and happy to see him pictured with his dog, Blue. Employees like Wesley are a tremendous asset to your company.

      Embrace is a great company IF you have healthy pets and don’t need them to reimburse medical. I would check very closely what they won’t cover - like prescription diet food for a diabetic dog to keep him well. They cover the insulin but one isn’t much good without the other. They don’t do what so many companies today offer which is Senior Discounts. Personally- it’s a shame to allow greed to blanket a company. The employees are lovely and helpful, but don’t make the rules. I’d suggest shopping around. New advertisements for pet insurance from well know. Companies are more prevalent. Can’t hurt to try to save some money- especially if your pet turns ill and medical expenses are so high. That’s why I thought I was buying pet insurance. Sure, they will gladly remove benefits to lower your rates, but then what do you need them for- catastrophic assistance only. It may be cheaper to pay off your cc then pay thousands for this pet insurance.

      Hello Judy,

      We want to assure you that we are committed to providing consistent coverage for pets throughout their life, with 92% of the claims received qualifying for coverage. We also strive to be as upfront as possible regarding what we can and cannot cover, both under our insurance policies and our Wellness Rewards plan. Embrace has a set list of exclusions as part of the Terms and Conditions for the insurance, and prescription food is not eligible for coverage under the accident and illness insurance policy. However, we understand preventative care is important too, which is why we have our optional Wellness Rewards plan which reimburses for routine and preventative care items (like prescription food) so that each pet parent can customize their policy to better fit their needs. We see you already spoke with a representative regarding your concerns, but if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care Center and we're happy to assist you further. Our goal is always to support our policyholders and their pets, so we appreciate your feedback and will use it to continuously improve our services.

      Zero stars for Embrace insurance company. I Had to take my pup in for emergent care and I am being given challenges to be reimbursed. My claim is held up for an emergent care visit because they want 12-months of previous vet visits. My puppy is only 10 months. I gave them his records from his wellness visit when I first got him and vet recommended to be seen in a year for his annual. Therefore I have given what I have. Do NOT choose embrace, it is a hassle and the process is not empathetic to the decision to have to take your pet for emergent care in the first place. STILL WAITING. If a full medical history is required, do not take people’s money until you receive it. I went the same wellness records as before when I was as reimbursed for his medical wellness dollars.

During this process, our claims team works directly with you and your vet providers to gather any additional medical records needed and review your pet's complete medical history. We look for the detailed chart notes from any visits that occurred within the 12 months prior to starting the policy and through the initial waiting or exclusionary periods. Please note this does not mean we need a full 12 months of records if it's not available (for example, if the pet is a new addition or born more recently), it is just the parameter we set for any pet to make sure there was a sufficient pre-policy exam done and so that we receive the required records.

      Once the requested records are received, reviewed, and confirmed complete, your pending claims will move forward for processing. We want to assure you it's a much smoother process moving forward as future claims do not typically require this review, and our standard processing time for claims is 10-15 business days. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team and we're happy to provide further assistance.

      I found this company online and they had decent rates and their coverage seem to be very good. I have two dogs and I signed them both up with full coverage. The first claim I submitted was a urinary tract infection in my Aussie; she was one year at the time and we were on vacation, so we had to take her to an emergency vet clinic. They did a good job, and the claim was covered, after 60 days, I got my payment. Next year she had a new incident, and we took her to her vet. It was diagnosed as a new UTI infection. They gave her antibiotics, and it cleared up and we submitted the claim. It took 45 days to get the claim answered, and the claim was not covered due to a so-called chronic condition. I am changing to a different company. This provider is very slow to respond, and they find any reason they can to deny a claim.

We are unable to provide coverage for pre-existing conditions, defined as anything diagnosed or symptomatic prior to the start of the policy and through the initial waiting or exclusionary periods.

      Hello Rick,

      We understand that premium increases are challenging and we sincerely regret any disappointment you've experienced. We strive to find a balance in maintaining quality coverage for the pets that we insure, while also factoring in changes in the marketplace, but the reality of the premiums is that they do go up over time as our pets get older to account for the increasing risk of illness and injury. Please know that you have options and our team is here to help you review your plan, explore ways to adjust your coverage, or find alternate coverage to keep a level of protection in place. Our goal is to work closely with each policyholder to explore personalized solutions to support you during this time, so if you have any other questions or would like to explore those options further, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team and we're happy to provide additional assistance.

      Reviewed Aug. 5, 2026

      I have paid Embrace every month for 7 years for two dogs, with almost no major claims (currently paying $257 a month). The first time I needed real coverage — a medically necessary carnassial tooth extraction — Embrace denied the entire $810 bill over a wording technicality. My vet performed a standard Level 2 extraction, which always includes cleaning the tooth and surrounding area while the dog is under anesthesia. This is not optional, not cosmetic, and not a “wellness cleaning.” It is part of the surgical procedure. Every vet does it this way. Embrace refused to cover any part of the surgery because the vet bundled the procedure exactly the way every veterinary office does. They insisted on separating out an imaginary “cleaning” cost that does not exist as a standalone service. They used this loophole to deny the entire claim.

      I spent hours on the phone, nearly in tears, trying to get Embrace to honor the coverage I’ve paid for year after year. Their handling of this was dismissive, inflexible, and completely out of alignment with standard veterinary practice. If Embrace will not cover a major tooth extraction — one of the most common significant dental procedures in dogs — then what exactly are customers paying for? I cancelled my policy immediately. I strongly recommend that anyone considering Embrace look elsewhere. Their marketing promises compassion and coverage. My experience delivered neither. Unbelievable the way they do business...it's a scam.

      We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience with our company has not met your expectations. Dental cleaning specific charges are not eligible for coverage under the accident and illness insurance, they are only eligible for reimbursement under our optional add-on Wellness Rewards plan. If the invoice only has one group charge that includes a dental cleaning, we need to see a full breakdown of the group charge in order to reconsider coverage for the claim under the dental illness sublimit. We understand obtaining the additional breakdown can sometimes be frustrating, but our goal is to maintain accuracy and quality in processing your claim.

      Coverage is definitely not as advertised. Even if you are meticulous in your record keeping and provide detailed reports from your Vet, they always find ways to say that something was pre-existing (even if the Vet assured it wasn't something to worry about yet), and therefore not covered. They take your money and offer no actual coverage of things like ultrasound imaging. Their staff strives to make sure you are kept on hold for hours at a time hoping you are too frustrated to follow up. They demand detailed reports and test results (sometimes multiples of the same results). Their goal is to collect your premium and not pay out on claims. Do your research and read as many reviews as possible before selecting an insurance carrier for your pet.

      Happy to take premiums, but not so happy to actually pay claims. Endeavors to stall, delay, and obfuscate with multiple requests from vet providers for the same information, even though emails acknowledging receipt of documents show that they DID get the requested information. Unfortunately, though, they seem to fit the general mold of insurance companies, human or animal, it being more about "money in" than "money out'. Actions speak louder than words.
