    We had such a good experience with our first dog, who was diagnosed with both cancer and kidney disease later in her life that we signed up - no question- with Embrace a second time. They made filing claims easy, and came through without question.

    I have had Embrace insurance for at least two years. Switched from another insurance company who has a good reputation, but I was not pleased with them. I keep insurance to meet the extreme needs of my dog should they surface, which recently happened as she has been diagnosed with Cushing's Disease. I value the ease which with Embrace makes reimbursements possible and am so happy I kept insurance for my dog as this diagnosis is quite expensive to treat.

    I applied to pet insurance in 09/2021 after I had a pet who got seriously ill and passed away after 6 days in the hospital, and we had to come to come out of pocket for it. I never wanted to put my family in that position again, so when I received an email about Embrace through USAA, I didn’t hesitate to sign up my current pets. It gave me peace of mind that if something like this were to ever happen again, that we could financially support it with the help of Embrace.

    Well, unbeknownst to me, we would end up having another emergency situation 5 months later when our current dog got sick out of nowhere. He had just had a biannual check up a month or two before and everything was great, so it was quite a shock we were going through this again and so soon. I was terrified of losing another dog as I’m still grieving the first loss, but I knew I could give this dog a fighting chance and not worry about the cost as much as we were with the first. Luckily, after only a day and a half in the emergency room, my current pet turned a corner and so he was sent home with lots of meds and an order to get a check up by our current vet in the following days. He is now back to normal, and for that we are grateful.

    When it came time to submit everything to Embrace, the upload process was extremely easy. The process claim was relatively fast, and they stayed in communication with me about how to speed up the process. Everyone I talked to on the phone was extremely nice, and even listened to me when I cried talking about my former pet. Even though we had some issues with the first reimbursement and our vet had to write an appeal, everything was eventually resolved and I could not be happier! Thanks Embrace!

    Here’s my experience- purchased a plan for $107 a month for my 9 year old cane corso. Had my vet send Kaya’s health records so I would know everything they consider preexisting conditions. I had a feeling there would be a few things because she’s 9, but let me tell you- they got back to me 2 weeks later telling me that they won’t cover basically ANYTHING. See attached photos.

    There were things under preexisting that the vet has never said are a problem! They said she has plaque buildup yet the vet has always said she has perfect teeth and does not even need to get a cleaning. They also said that she has arthritis so any hip problems are preexisting which has never been diagnosed. Her Vet has always said her mobility is fine. And they said any cancer &/or lumps will not be covered because she has had a few (we had them all tested and none were cancer so idk how they can exclude cancer as preexisting). Also, because I called the office to ask about swallowing something (she had not actually swallowed anything, it was a phone conversation) so Embrace said that’s not covered either. Now I’ve been waiting on the phone for 30 minutes to try to cancel my plan which is also an issue because they pick up right away to sell you a plan. Overall I do NOT recommend this company.

    Signing up with Embrace Pet Insurance has been a great experience for me. I have 2 dogs on an Embrace policy since they were 1 year old (now almost 4). Embrace has paid out as promised on several occasions. You just have to do your due diligence and make sure you supply them with all the information they ask for, such as all your pet records over the previous year when you sign up. Having Embrace Insurance has given me so much peace of mind that I won't get stuck with a huge vet bill or not be able to give my dogs the care they need. Highly recommend!

    Unfortunately, I have a sick dog. I have to submit claims regularly for medicine, and sometimes big claims for procedures. It's a LOT of money out of pocket. The claims are handled quickly and the checks are sent out quickly. I have 4 rescues; I know...it seems like a lot of money to pay out every month, but believe me...if you end up with a chronically ill critter, or even one that just gets sick/hurt one major time, and do not have insurance, you will be very sorry. If I didn't I would have had to put her down simply because I would not have been able to afford it. My cats are 8 years old now...never filed a claim, but, odds are I will have to at some point. I'll never go without this insurance as long as I have any pets.

    I have been a customer of Embrace for nearly a decade, and luckily have never needed to file a claim. After my dog became suddenly ill, my regular veterinarian recommended he go to an ER vet which was quite expensive. Beyond the emergency visit, my little dude required follow-up testing, because his condition may be lifelong, rather than acute. Submitting my claim was extremely easy, and I received reimbursement within a week or two. I work in the legal field, and have a lot of experience with insurance agencies, and I have to say I am impressed!

    I really wanted to give them a good review; however after the last couple of days dealing with them, I can only come up with 2 stars.... and that's because my first few experiences with them were fine. I understand everyone is slammed these days, but I tried contacting them one day.. Held on the phone for over 30 minutes and then tried again and held for 40 minutes without success. Then I emailed them with No response and it's over 48 hours later. Their excuse.."because of high volume, we can't answer your emails....

    I have both dogs insured with them... one for a couple of years and the other one for 6 months. They have paid for one dog's medications and now they're asking for his medical records because they are saying the medication has to do with a pre-existing condition ... Why did they pay for the medication before? My other dog had a bought of an upset tummy and that claim would go to my deductible however they're waiting for the medical records from my vet (sent to them in October). I get these sappy sweet emails from their claims department with excuse after excuse. At this point in time, I probably will be opening up a claim with the California Department of Insurance. I signed up with them based on many recommendations, but I find them no better than their competitors.

    I have had a policy was Embrace Pet Insurance on my dog since 2012. I have been submitting claims for Clyde since he was enrolled, never to have one denied. His claims have included multiple visits for infections, fevers, cellulitis. As a Veterinarian I am able to get a lot of my pets' medical care for discounts. This along with a premium spike caused me to drop insurance on my other dogs several years ago. I kept Clyde's insurance because he had an extensive medical history that had always been covered, so it was worth keeping the insurance.

    Recently (12/24/2021) Clyde was admitted to the hospital with a fever and later determined, infection. This visit was very similar to the visit that was covered in June 2017 so I expected that it would be covered. I submitted the claim, for $9,055.13 and was denied due to it being a pre-existing condition. I reported the issue to the claims adjuster and was told his previous claims should not have been covered and it was an "error" on their companies part. This "error" misled me into continuing to pay premiums for Clyde after I discontinued insurance on my other pets.

    Had I known that future claims for the same problem, that was previously covered, would not be covered I would have never continued paying claims as it is not advantageous to me as a Veterinarian. The company has been terrible to work with and has just told me about the "error" on their part. As a Veterinarian and an a high level dog sport competitor I will be discontinuing my insurance with them and will not be recommending them.

    Hello Erin,

    I apologize for any disappointment you've experienced with your claim! According to the adjuster who reviewed Clyde's claim, the immune mediated neutropenia was noted prior to the start of the policy, making it a pre-existing condition. Although the other claims submitted may be similar, the medical records we received for the recent claim specifically indicated the infection and symptoms were likely caused by the immune mediated neutropenia condition. As we were not able to rule out the condition as the cause of the symptoms, we were unfortunately unable to provide coverage. However, any time you feel it was an incorrect assessment you do have the option to appeal. I see the adjuster has provided information to you in regard to the appeal process, but if you have any additional questions or concerns, please give us a call at 800-511-9172 or you can reach out to your adjuster via email.

    I ended up paying them $90 a month and then wellness was tapped out on regular things like shots before my dog's neuter came up. I ended up cancelling with them after the neuter and they sent me a bill for the rest of the year... for the next 6 months of wellness. They sent me an email saying I could pay in one large lump sum or they would send me to collections. They sent me this note on a holiday. I cancelled a little after Christmas. Here it is, almost two weeks later and they jump the gun to send a notice out like this. I have never been sent to collections or received a threat like this. It is unethical for them to cancel and not tell me they would be charging me for the next 6 months. To send out a threatening email like this, two weeks later, lets me know what kind of company they are.

    Hello Joy,

    I apologize for any disappointment you experienced with your policy! Per the terms and conditions, the insurance policy is there to help with unexpected accidents or illnesses that may occur and does not provide coverage for routine and preventative care. Vaccinations and a spay/neuter surgery are considered routine care and are only eligible for reimbursement under the Wellness Rewards plan. The Wellness plan is not insurance and functions more as a budgeting tool or health savings account. Because it is meant to be a 12-month program you pay into, if the policy is canceled early and you have been paid out more than you have paid in to the plan, Embrace does reserve the right to collect any outstanding balance owed toward the program. We do strive to be as upfront as possible about the terms and this information is included in the acknowledgements upon purchase, in the terms and conditions document, and in the Wellness Rewards Certificate of Coverage. I sincerely apologize for any offense caused by the email, as that was not our intention, but we are required to notify you of the outstanding balance for compliance reasons. If you have any additional questions, concerns, or would like further clarification, please call our Customer Care Center at 800-511-9172 and a representative will be happy to assist you.

    When originally signing up the person I worked with to explain the policy was very nice. At the end of the conversation I thought I had a clear understanding of what was covered vs what was "wellness". She also did not explain there was a deductible to be met. I made sure the sales rep knew that I had no previous hx other than what I was given from the adoption center, and that she was only 6 months old at the time of application and no vets were available to see her beyond that. They were all booked up and we had to wait. She hadn't even been spayed yet. She assured me this wouldn't interfere.

    The first claim I ever submitted took almost 3 months to clear claiming they needed more info and her medical history was incomplete. THIS was NOT so. I had already submitted through email and uploading on the app, everything I had per the conversation with the sales rep. They still claimed I needed a year's worth of hx. Finally got the claim approved only to be told it would be put towards the deductible. I then had three more emergencies with her having problems with parasites, and picking up stuff from other dogs. One I didn't even bother submitting. The last emergency I put a claim in for she again had bleeding from her rectum and could not be seen except on an emergency basis. I was told that the bill was a "wellness" bill and I only received 134.00 back from an almost 500$ claim.

    I am EXTREMELY disappointed so far in the customer service except when I was purchasing. That's unacceptable. The clarity via conversations complete differed after the policy was in place and paid for. I pay for a policy that is supposed to reimburse me 70%. The last emergency was NOT a wellness visit. She was bleeding out her rectum again due to an unknown parasite. Even the vet said this. There was a new strain that they had been seeing from dogs that had been popping up. Tests to determine emergency bleeding from the rectum and fecal matter is NOT a wellness check.

    Yes I have a policy I can read, but the point is what I was told I was buying and what I got are not the same thing. I felt misled. The first claim was only supposed to take a few weeks to be approved per multiple phone conversations and the original sales consult. Since having Nala, I have had to take her into an emergency situation OUTSIDE of normal care multiple times and paying a monthly fee for the insurance barely covers and takes care of what I needed so far. I have already begun to shop elsewhere beyond what I did before I signed up for Embrace.

    Hello Kaile,

    I sincerely apologize for any frustration you've experienced in regard to your policy! Although we do try to reimburse claims as quickly as possible, sometimes the first accident or illness claim submitted can take longer when we do not have the full pre-policy medical history on file. Now that it has been confirmed complete, I assure you the claims process is much smoother and the standard processing time is about 10-15 business days. In regard to your most recent claim submitted, out of the total billed amount of $443.70, the insurance covered $425.64. A portion of it did go toward meeting your remaining $256.74 annual deductible. Now that it has been met for this policy term year, any other covered claims you submit for this term will be reimbursed at an 80% reimbursement rate and we will continue to reimburse until you have reached your annual maximum for the year. The one item that was considered Wellness was the Proviable nutritional supplement. Unfortunately, we are only able to cover FDA approved prescription drugs under the insurance policy.

    We strive to be as upfront as possible about the policy terms and conditions and definitely do not want you to feel disappointed or misled in any way! We're more than happy to go over the policy and the Explanation of Benefits for the claim if you have any additional questions or concerns. Please don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-511-9172.

    Being a pet owner for some is just about having an animal to satisfy a child's whim or a spur of the moment decision brought on by the random cuteness of said animal. For others, pets are just as much a part of the family as the humans who are allowed to share the house with them. Caring for those pets is paramount to these owners. Finding the RIGHT "Pet Insurance" is vital because it gives peace of mind when those unexpected emergencies arise or general care of your fur baby. EMBRACE PET INSURANCE - is the absolute BEST! The Customer Service Reps are always quick to respond to questions and find answers. Claims are handled quickly and deposit refunds directly into your bank account within a few days (if that's the option chosen). There are multiple plans to choose from as well.

    We started with Embrace because USAA provides a discount, and we have stayed with Embrace for 8 years because they are amazing. Their new app makes filing claims super easy and I don't have to rely on the Vet to do it anymore. They review and pay claims timely (within just a few days). Recently, we had a very scary emergency. I had questions about coverage and limits. When I called, the Embracer was so kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable. He even got me to laugh a little (unintentionally) and that was a stress reliever. I am very grateful for their high quality customer service. As our dog has gotten older, the premiums have increased, but it has been worth it to have a "major medical" policy to rely on.

    Hello Amy,

    I understand it can be frustrating to see the premium has increased! Premiums do increase over time with all insurance products, and pet insurance is no exception. Some of the factors that impact premiums each year include the age of a pet, breed, tenure, and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. Our premiums are set by our underwriter and they are based on actuarial data (overall claims trends)and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. All pet insurance companies increase premiums based on similar factors - because this is a newer industry, the data will continually change as the industry grows. One thing we do not do is drop pets or change coverage as a pet ages, and some companies are starting to find that is necessary because of the high cost of claims related to insuring older pets. You do always have the option to adjust your coverage in other ways though to bring your premium price down. For example, increasing your deductible, decreasing your reimbursement percentage, or decreasing your annual maximum. If you are interested in exploring these options, you can look at different coverage options through your MyEmbrace portal under "Coverage Change," or you may call our Customer Care Center at 800-511-9172 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you!

    My dogs are currently 12. I got Embrace policies for them as puppies, because I wanted them to have coverage when they were older. Embrace did allow me to see any vet and did pay the claims. If you are looking for pet insurance for a puppy, hoping it will carry protection when they are older, Embrace raised the cost of the policies such that it would cost $1,000+ more year per pet to have pet insurance, on a max claim, than to not. I didn't catch this earlier, the higher premiums started when they were 9-10 but I didn't pause to do the math. I regret not going with a different pet insurance company from the start and want to warn others who are shopping for insurance for puppies. They told me it is not based on health conditions or claims- simply the age of the dog, breed of dog, and zip code.

    Hello Alyssa,

    I understand it can be frustrating when you see the premium has increased! Premiums increase over time as a cost of business with all pet insurance companies. Just as humans tend to get sick more frequently as we age, so do our pets. Dogs and cats tend to need more frequent and costly veterinary care as they get older, and that means higher pet insurance premiums over time with every company. Embrace does not alter coverage or drop pets due to age like some other insurance companies do. I understand this does not bring good news and I apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced. If you have additional questions or concerns, or would like to go over it further, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 800-511-9172.

    I am very disappointed in this company. They have failed to unlawfully cover a surgery, so I will be cancelling my membership at the end of the term, pursuing contract review and assistance with my team, and I hope that if you're considering them for long-term, emergent coverage, you reconsider. While they are willing to cover small costs, large costs are definitely in question. I also can't believe my husband's USAA account refers to this company.

    My dog has had ongoing discharge and blood from her vulva since May 2021 (our policy started in November 2020). I took her in for testing and diagnostics for this discharge, and we were referred to a surgeon for a SUSPECTED ovarian remnant after antibiotics were ineffective, and she came back with a positive hormone test. Normally, discharge isn't a big deal, but it was causing an infection through her body. They denied my claim for surgery saying an ovarian remnant is a complication of a spay surgery. Which even if it was, she was spayed 11 years ago, so that's kind of ridiculous it would be a "complication".

    I appealed this decision because I felt they were misinformed on what we were actually dealing with. A normal ovarian remnant is when ovarian tissue is left or not completely removed during the surgery...or maybe it was dropped (very rare). The exploratory performed by the surgeon concluded there was no ovarian tissue left or dropped. He even receded the pedicles from where the ovaries attach.... and took a biopsy to test for ovarian tissue, and they came back negative, clearly determining the spay was performed adequately.

    The surgeon, who performed Bella's exploratory, wrote a letter for appeal, completely detailing how this circumstance isn't a spay complication. I was referred for a suspected ovarian remnant, but after he did the exploratory and took off part of her pedicles to biopsy and test for remnants...which came back negative, it was clear that's not what we were dealing with. He explained that he believes she has potential ectopic ovarian tissue and even stated it was congenital (a birth defect). He made it clear it would not be part of a routine spay surgery. So it's classified as a birth abnormality, not a spay complication.

    They still are failing to acknowledge the difference and educate on the circumstance at hand. We are dealing with such a rare abnormality and a dog we can't find a cure on, and I was so happy to know I had pet insurance for this moment, and now I'm seriously disappointed in even trusting them when they have clear evidence in front of them, but they're still unlawfully denying the claim.

    Hello Valerie,

    I am sorry to hear you had a negative experience with your claims for Bella! Per the terms and conditions of the policy, we are unable to cover pre-existing conditions, which is anything that was symptomatic or diagnosed prior to starting the policy or through the initial waiting periods. The appeal was unable to be overturned because the underlying cause of the vaginal discharge has not yet been determined. However, I do see it was explained to you that in the future, if the underlying cause is definitively diagnosed and the cause is something other than a spay complication, we will be able to re-evaluate the decision and the claims. I understand this is disappointing, but we are required to abide by the terms and conditions of the policy.

    If you have any further questions or concerns in regard to your claims or the appeal, please call our Customer Care Center at 800-511-9172 and our claims team will be happy to go over them with you.

    When I got my pet insurance through this program, I was informed that his skin allergies would not be covered, as they were pre-existing (as I knew they would not be covered). However, one year after being covered, he simply got an ear infection, and they denied coverage, as they said it was allergy related. All of my former pets got ear infections about once a year, and none of them had allergies. They automatically assigned his ear infection an “allergy related ear infection” (even though the vet did not say this was allergy related at all). Therefore they did not pay. I’m very nervous moving forward with them, that they not pay for anything with this dog, as they will link anything to “allergy related”! :(

    We got the insurance for our two dogs and we were paying over $130 a month which was fine because we love our dogs, but literally every time we made a claim there was a reason they wouldn’t pay it (We made two claims. One for each dog). Our first one was an orthopedic surgery where they said she had to be on the insurance for At least 6 months so we were like “okay that makes sense so people don’t take advantage of the insurance” and we paid our $6000 surgery out of pocket.

    A few weeks later (mind you we’ve had the insurance for months now) our other dog was throwing up and had a swollen foot so I took him in. The insurance wouldn’t cover this because “Sergeant threw up a couple months ago and so we won’t cover him until he goes a full year without throwing up” so they didn’t cover this vet bill either. So literally your pet has to be completely healthy and out of the vet for a year before they will pretty much cover anything. Don’t forget the whole “we need all of your previous medical documents“ or they won’t cover you either. The only good side of this is the customer service is always happy and readily available to answer your calls and then explain why your pet won’t be covered.

    Hello Amber,

    I am so sorry that you had a bad experience. We try to make what qualifies as a pre-existing condition as clear as we can when signing up for the policy. Pre-existing conditions would be anything symptomatic or diagnosed prior to the start of the policy, and within the waiting periods. Here at Embrace we do differentiate between temporary and permanent pre-existing conditions. Permanent pre-existing conditions would be anything incurable and chronic, such as cancer or allergies. Permanent pre-existing conditions will not be eligible under the policy.

    Temporary pre-existing conditions are curable issues that your pet may have during the time period listed above, such as vomiting or coughing. If your pet can go 12 consecutive months without any signs or symptoms related to the temporary condition, then that would be eligible to be removed in the future as a pre-existing condition. The reason for the 12 month time period on this is because temporary conditions can be symptoms of something permanent. Once the 12 month time frame is up, we can recollect medical history to determine if the temporary pre-existing condition can be removed or not.

    As always, we are happy to help with any questions you may have. Please feel free to give us a call.

    I understand it can be frustrating when you see the premium has increased. Premiums do increase over time as a cost of business with all pet insurance companies.

Currently, the claims you submit do not affect your premium, we look at overall claims trends associated with your pet’s breed, age, species, and location. Our goal is to be as upfront as possible in regard to the policy terms and conditions, and we do explain that the policy premium is subject to change due to age, vet costs, or changes to the policy in the acknowledgments when signing up, but I apologize if there was any misunderstanding.

    Thank you for taking the time to say such nice things about our Customer Service Representatives, I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to them.

    Regarding your claim experience, I am sorry it did not go as smoothly as we hope. I see that the claim you submitted for Scout included both routine Wellness Rewards items (vaccines, monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention, etc) as well as charges that were incurred for an illness (skin/ear cytology and prescription ear medication). When we receive a claim that has mixed charges for both Wellness Rewards reimbursement and illness insurance, we have to evaluate for both at the same time. I understand this can be frustrating because you ultimately did not want the illness items evaluated. I see that we got that note on 7/9/21 (that you wished for only the Wellness Rewards item to be assessed) and the claim was processed later the same day. I'm sorry this took longer than expected; hopefully, the next claim for Scout takes less time.

    I am so thankful for the peace of mind I get from Embrace! They have been amazing with my Sweet Begonia. She is a beautiful healthy three year old xoloitzcuintli and it did not break me financially when she developed kidney disease that required a kidney biopsy and is now managed thru medication. Embrace handles every claim with efficiency and the money is always back in my account so quickly. If I ever need help or have questions about a claim, the Embracers are wonderful, caring and effective. I will never own another animal without pet insurance. She recently had an intestinal issue and the claims were paid and the money was in my account before the vet bill charge could go from pending to actual in my bank account. It has been a comfort to know I could care for my sweet dog without having to worry about the financial aspect of it all. Thank you Embrace.

    We have been with Embrace since 2010 and I am beyond SO ETERNALLY grateful for this amazing company and family! Without them, I’d never have be able to afford to give my 4lb tea cup yorkie (little angel in a doggy body) an amazing life that every pet and animal deserve. When I got 8 week old Bella my mom told me to get pet insurance. Hands down, Embrace seemed like the best across the board. They were clear on their annual cap and reimbursement percentage per claim so that’s who I went with. I would have never expected to need to them as soon as I did when Bella was viciously attacked at just 3 months old.

    Without Embrace, I wouldn’t have been able to afford Bella’s life saving ER care after the owner (of the white Malamute which was off a leash while she rollerbladed) took off leaving me with not just a disheartened heart in humanity, but also left me with a hefty medical bill followed by a year of intense home health care, medication, re-integration therapy, and doctor visits for Bella. Embrace annual fee is worth every single penny!

    Hello Jim,

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent frustrations with Embrace. I see that you emailed yesterday and an adjuster responded to your inquiry earlier this morning. As the adjuster explained, you chose a policy with a $500 annual deductible, a 90% reimbursement rate, and a $15,000 annual maximum. This means you must meet the $500 annual deductible with covered charges before being reimbursed. As the claim in question was the first claim in the policy term, that deductible must be met prior to reimbursement. The good news is now that the annual deductible has been met, you will receive the full 90% reimbursement rate for all covered claims in the same policy term.

    If you have any other questions or would like to discuss this situation further, please feel free to respond to the adjuster that emailed you this morning.

    Signing up for Embrace over other options years ago is a great regret. The main issue so far has been the denial of a bunch of expenses because they were submitted (by the hospital, not my control) "too long" after a policy we've had for years has renewed. There is no logical reason for this. She's had continuous coverage for years. It was just an arbitrary cutoff based on when the policy renews for the year. We're not back at it as I've just discovered they will now be checking for any preexisting condition issues after allowing me to pay for years for my other dog.

    Anyway, long story short -- and this may be true of the whole industry since it is basically the insurance business model to take in as many premiums and pay out as few claims as possible -- I have no doubt they will find ways to avoid pay claims if they can come up with anything or embed anything in the fine print or anything else. I'm not sure what else I can say other than that there is zero chance we'll sign up future dogs.

    Thank you for being a long-term policyholder, your support is appreciated. I am sorry we were unable to provide you with any benefit for the claims submitted by your veterinary clinic after the submission deadline; unfortunately, according to the policy terms and conditions, claims can be submitted any time during the policy term and up to 60 days after the policy term ends. The claims submission deadline information can be found on the claim form, in the policy terms and conditions, and in the pre-renewal email that is sent before your renewal occurs.

    Regarding the pre-existing conditions and how to be notified about them, we offer a medical history review at the time of the policy start, which outlines any pre-existing conditions that will not be covered under the policy. If this optional review is not requested the review is then conducted at the time the first claim is submitted. In your case, a medical history review was not requested, so we did not review Klaus' medical records until his first claim was submitted, which was just recently. If you feel after the review was completed, we have any incorrect information, we would be happy to review an appeal from your veterinarian clarifying these notations.

They conflated Cushing's disease in my doggy as a preexisting disease due to the hepatic panel showing high enzymes 2-years prior - in which my doggy was treated. Cushing's is a kidney/adrenal gland issue...not (hepatic) fatty liver...as liver issues come later with the onset of Cushing's. That said, there were no indications/symptoms of Cushing's in my doggy prior to the policy nor in the in-between vet visits at Banfield over the last 8yrs...hence the emergency visit.

    Hello Christopher,

    I am sorry for your frustration, I understand it is disappointing when claims cannot be covered by a policy. Regarding your situation, I see that Skoshi had elevated liver values a few months prior to the start of the policy. These elevations are a common clinical sign of Cushing’s disease. Once Skoshi developed additional clinical signs of Cushing’s disease, it became apparent that the pre-existing elevated liver values were related. If you and your veterinarian disagree with this assessment, the next step is to open an appeal. You can submit a letter from your veterinarian with any additional information to askclaims@embracepetinsurance.com and an appeal will be set up on your behalf.

    Updated review: June 29, 2021

    My faith in Embrace has been re-established! Thank you Embrace for overturning your decision on the pre-existing conditions. I had to reach out to multiple vets and have them clarify what was in the notes but in the end I am happy that my doggies medical needs will be taken care of. I still think this pet insurance company makes it very difficult if your pet has gone to the vet prior to coverage for anything, I don't know if others are the same but my hope is that what is considered a pre-existing condition isn't the same across the board. I have revised my star-rating from 1 to 4 stars, I would have liked to give 5 but all of the hoops I had to jump through made me dizzy.

    Original Review: May 21, 2021

    I have a French bull dog that I acquired at the age of 9 months. When I took him in to be microchipped my vet asked me if I had noticed any breathing issues or snoring with him. I answered yes but not really being familiar with the breed and any issues that they have, I thought this was normal. She said there are surgeries to correct the issue so I followed through with 2 procedures. When I submitted these to Embrace I was told that they were denied due to a "pre-existing" condition they found in his medical history. The previous owner took him to their vet for vaccinations and the owner stated that he had been coughing, the vet documented an undiagnosed cough and no treatment was rendered.

    Embrace based their decision on a 4 month old puppy with a cough, therefore calling this a pre-existing condition. It does take a rocket scientist to know that a cough can be caused by a number of things, I have been informed that I can appeal this decision and go to that vet (whom I do not use nor have ever used) for a letter with an explanation and maybe their decision will be overturned. Sounds like Embrace wants me to jump through hoops and wear me down so that I don't fight this. I am very disappointed and will pursue appealing the diagnoses. I will also notify USAA because I based my decision to go with Embrace because USAA backs/sponsors them and I trust USAA.

    Hello Jackie,

    I am so sorry for your frustration regarding the pre-existing condition and claims for Winston. I see that Winston had some undiagnosed coughing noted in the medical records we received from a prior veterinarian. Under the Embrace policy, any condition that occurs prior to the end of the waiting period is pre-existing and includes conditions and clinical signs that are undiagnosed. While you are correct that coughing can be caused by a number of things, if we are unable to determine the specific cause of the cough, we must exclude any conditions that could be causing it.

    As coughing is a clinical sign of brachycephalic airway syndrome (anatomic abnormalities of the nasal passages and throat) and because a definitive cause for the pre-existing coughing was not determined, we, unfortunately, were not able to cover Winston’s claims. I know this is not the news you had hoped for, but I do see you mentioned you decided to move forward with the appeal process, which we do recommend if you feel a decision error was made. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at askclaims@embracepetinsurance.com.

    While I have given Pet Embrace 5 STARS IN THE PAST, I only had experience processing claims with their wellness claims. Now that I am over 1 year into the medical plan and am hitting a brick wall getting a medical claim paid because of Pet Embrace’s own incompetence and I am at their mercy to resolve it. HERE’S THE ISSUE:

    Upon establishing the medical policy, there is a waiting period. You must submit a wellness exam establishing the health of your cat. They asked me where I planned to go. I adopted my two cats while caring for an ill parent in San Antonio, TX. I live Alaska. I said I would take them to the vet my Texas family used (Amigo Veterinary) but reconsidered after finding out they were ridiculously expensive. I took them to a local Spay Neuter clinic (SNAP) for vaccines, health exam and health certificate so they could fly home. I NOTIFIED PET EMBRACE OF THE CHANGE AND UPLOADED THE DOCUMENTS through their portal. They notified me the exam documentation was inadequate-that it needed to be in a SOAP format.

    So, upon arriving back to Alaska, still within the waiting period, I took them to my vet, (VCA) for a second wellness exam and made sure my vet supplied documents in the appropriate format, I UPLOADED THE DOCUMENTS via their portal AND CONFIRMED I MET ALL THEIR REQUIREMENTS WITH A FOLLOW UP PHONE CALL. Now one year later when submitting a claim I am told my claim cannot be processed until they receive all notes from AMIGO VET CLINIC. What?! And somehow Amigo can’t cooperate or comply. I wonder why. Perhaps because they have no record of us, don’t know what it’s about??? Why is this even a problem??

    Would you be surprised if you broke left arm and your medical insurance didn't cover it because you'd previously broken your right arm? Unrelated, right? That's exactly what Embrace did for orthopedic coverage for our dog. A previously repaired *injury* disqualifies our dog for coverage for the same or similar injuries in the other legs, despite a clean orthopedic exam by our veterinarian. Just another brazen attempt to collect premiums without ever having to pay out claims. Shameful.

    Hello David,

    I'm sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your Embrace policy. All pet insurance companies exclude pre-existing conditions; this is how pet insurance premiums stay around $50 a month rather than what premiums cost in human health insurance (around $500 a month). Cruciate ligament tears, as Allie had, are one of the most common orthopedic conditions in dogs. More than 50% of dogs that tear one cruciate ligament will tear the other one within 12 months. Unfortunately, this means insurance companies must exclude coverage for both knees if a pet was noted to have a tear prior to the start of the policy.

    It is understandable that this is frustrating news; however, pet insurance companies must exclude pre-existing conditions in order to retain low monthly premiums for their pet parents.

    I see that you already canceled your policy, if you would like any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact Embrace at 800-511-9172.

    My experience with your company was terrible. All the people I spoke with were very pleasant. My vet recommended me not to take insurance on a 9 1/2 year old labradoodle, my dog is turning 11 in 2 weeks, but my husband wanted to be sure if she broke anything she would be covered. After a month of going back and forth with the insurance and the vet, a month before my dog needed to get a mass removed from her back... I finally got a list of her pre existing issues. There was everything on it except digestive issues. So I called and asked why someone did not call me to explain all of this. But every time you call they say you can’t be quoted on the phone. So basically they told me only digestive issues would be covered.

    We should have been explained this from the day of getting the insurance and then I would not have wasted my money. My dog has arthritis so I asked if she breaks a bone will they say the arthritis already existed and this is what caused the break? I asked for it in writing but got nothing. It was stated at that point the doctor would have to determine that.. so basically they wanted me to pay my monthly payment and if it happens then they will let me know. I should have listened to my Vet when she said, "Don’t get it." So disappointed in the company. Asked to get money back, they said No.

    Hello Eleni,

    I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with Embrace. Given the nature of pet insurance, insuring older/senior pets can make for more exclusions and less available coverage. All pet insurance companies exclude pre-existing conditions; therefore, older pets tend to collect more pre-existing conditions if they are not insured until they are in their golden years. Pre-existing conditions are explained at the beginning of the policy and we always recommend that our pet parents request a medical history review, so they know exactly what would be excluded for their pet at the start of the policy. As you opted out of this service, Nikki's medical records were not reviewed until the time of her first claim.

    I see that you spoke with an adjuster and discussed all of the pre-existing conditions and potential coverages and opted to cancel the policy. If there is anything else that can be done to assist in your situation, please do not hesitate to contact Embrace.

    I'm sorry to hear Nayla is not feeling well. I hope she on the mend quickly after her procedure. When we made the determination to cover 12-weeks of alternative therapy per condition, we consulted with several veterinary specialists. It was determined that most alternative therapies require 8-weeks to treat active conditions, after those initial 8-weeks, therapy is maintenance. As a courtesy to our pet parents, we opted to increase that to 12-weeks of coverage to provide the best possible coverage. Maintenance therapies are not eligible for coverage by the policy in accordance with the terms and conditions.

    Embrace has gone downhill over the past year. My dog was insured at 2 months when I brought him home. He had his initial visit and had their orthopedic waiver completed. 10 months later he developed a luxating patella and had surgery. Embrace first delayed my claim by saying they reached out to my vets office for records when my vets office says otherwise. Embrace did not notify me of the delay, I noticed when I happened to check his account over a week later. I made sure they got the records and now I'm told it's a 30 business day wait to review.

    He had ONE vet visit prior to surgery, clearly no prior history since he was two months old at the time on insuring, and their waiver was complete despite this condition happening past the time of the normal orthopedic waiting period. This should be an open and shut case. Instead, Embrace is finding every way to drag their feet. I now am looking at an account that's stating it's on hold for lack of medical information AGAIN. This company is finding every way to drag its feet. People shouldn't have to wait over two months for claims to get paid out.

    I have two cats, one I adopted in 2017, and the other around Christmas of 2020. When I adopted my Tuxedo, I got her insurance with Healthy Paws, so that's who I had been with ever since. When it came time to adding the second cat to her account, things got complicated. Unfortunately, Leo came home and got ill about two weeks following. What was initially thought to be linked to gastroenterology issues wound up to be upper respiratory and he ended up having to be seen several times within a two month period. Needless to say, Healthy Paws denied his claims for pre-existing conditions.

    I filed an appeal, but after it dragging out over a month and them then requiring additional documentation from his veterinarian interpreting his medical records, I had had enough at that point. I didn't even care about the thousand dollars in claims at that point, they had made my life ridiculously and unnecessarily stressful and I put an end to it. I walked away and canceled his policy with Healthy Paws and came over to Embrace.

    I had been looking into Embrace and a few other companies a few weeks prior just so I was prepared if that time came. Ultimately I chose Embrace because of the consistency of their reviews (because I don't expect any company to be perfect), the quantity of their exceptional reviews, but mostly my own personal customer service experience. I spent at least an hour over two or three phone calls with customer service getting information and eventually setting up a policy. Not once did I have any reason to question why I wouldn't want to trust them to insure the well-being of my pets.

    I actually was excited I had found them - it made the Healthy Paws experience a whole lot less bitter. I was met with kindness, compassion, friendliness, and consideration. Customer service was prompt and patient and never left any of my many questions unanswered. They also spent a great deal of time helping me to find the most appropriate policy for my needs and budget and offered considerable discounts. I only wish it were convenient for me to bring my other cat over right now, unfortunately because of her health issues at the moment, it'll have to wait a bit. Looking forward to a new beginning with Embrace!

He developed and enjoying policy-making event painless and parental-satisfying knowing my two kids (Nyjah and Noble) (DDR German Shepherds) (a third later) are fully protected. Executive perception, Joe is a valued member of his Embrace team and the face of the company. His style and presentation is above reproach. I look forward to working with the next Embrace member post the birth of my next daughter Nysia. Have a blessed day day. Airborne!

    Hello Major Anthony,

    Thank you for taking the time to say such kind words about Joe. I'm really pleased to hear the experience was so positive and you are all set up for coverage for Nyjah and Noble, should they need it. We would love it if you sent pictures of the new baby, Nysia, when she comes along; we have a TON of German Shepard fanatics at Embrace.

    Take care,

    After getting a new puppy in February 2020 we decided to purchase pet insurance. We decided on Embrace because what we thought were good reviews. After waiting the required 30 days and getting our dog all the required shots and health checks everything seemed to be going well. On 2/4/21 we noticed her scratching her ears and took her in to her vet for evaluation. They advised she had a slight ear infection and gave her the prescribed antibiotics. She returned on 2/18/21 for a follow up. These invoices were sent to Embrace immediately. After many back and forth emails requesting information on the status (they advised they were awaiting information from her vet which was sent to them early March) they advised on 3/25/21 that the claims were denied because of "pre existing conditions".

    Apparently when we first brought her to the vet for a check up on 2/26/20 we told them she seemed to be scratching too much. They advised she may have Pruritus but nothing to worry about. Somehow Embrace twisted this into a way to decline an inner ear infection. Complete waste of money. They took my 32 dollars each month for over a year and denied a very small new claim. Needless to say we will look for a better pet insurance from this point on.

    Hello Bryon,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with Embrace. Sally's policy started on 3/21/20 and had the standard 2-day accident waiting period, 14-day illness waiting period, and 6-month orthopedic waiting period. This means that any abnormality noted in Sally's medical records prior to the start of the policy, or during the policy waiting periods is pre-existing; and therefore, excluded from coverage.

    On 3/17/20, prior to the start of the policy, it was noted that Sally had been itchy (pruritus). As pruritus is a dermatological condition in accordance with the policy terms and conditions, it means Sally is excluded from coverage for any and all dermatological conditions for 12-months. Sally has not been free from dermatological conditions for 12 consecutive months; therefore, coverage for this condition is not possible.

    I understand this is not the news you were hoping to hear; however, we must follow the policy terms and conditions. As the facts around the case are clear the Sally had a pre-existing dermatological exclusion on her policy, coverage for this condition (and any related conditions) is not possible until she is free from symptoms and treatment for 12 consecutive months.

    If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at 800-511-9172.

    Everyone at Embrace has been fantastic and helpful through the process of Winston's surgery-both pre and post-op. The pre-certification was completed and approved once his records were received from the vet and payments have been prompt for reimbursement. I cannot thank Embrace enough, along with my wonderful Vet and her staff for the peace of mind during this whole procedure and keeping my baby safe and back on the road to recovery. He is doing fantastic and healing well, with an expected full recovery. Below are some images right after the surgery and then a week later. I tell everyone about Embrace and the excellent services they offer and that I have received.

    I've had dogs my entire life and used about 4-5 different companies. Embrace is by far the best and easiest to deal with. I won't be changing companies anytime soon...hopefully ever. I get a discount for having 2 dogs insured.

    Through my dog’s illness, Embrace was right there by my side, helping me to file claims, expediting the claim process, and the reimbursement was always explained and accurate. When my dog passed and I called to notify Embrace of his death, Brian was so thoughtful and respectful. He said more than one time that he was sorry for my loss. I would recommend Embrace to anyone.

    On January 5th my 8 year old dog George had a growth removed from his mouth. Within a couple weeks we had a devastating diagnosis. Amelanotic Melanoma. We consulted with an oncologist. Prognosis poor. His only chance to survive was the Oncept vaccine that has been shown to keep dogs in remission. It is costly and not guaranteed. We started the process and finished his therapy a couple weeks ago. Embrace has covered every visit, test, and treatment. Embrace has been wonderful and I can't say enough about the importance of having insurance!!! George's xrays are still clear and he is healthy and happy. He will continue to receive boosters every few months and we pray he stays in remission. Thank you Embrace!!!

    Hello Michele,

    I am so sorry to hear about the difficult road George has been on the last couple of months. It is wonderful that he is currently in remission and doing well and tough financial decisions did not have to be at the forefront of your mind. We have all our fingers and paws crossed here at Embrace in hopes he stays on the path to recovery.

    Agent was very knowledgeable and made sensible recommendations. I was unaware of the relationship with USAA until the agent mentioned it. I have two puppies, just weeks old and this policy was thorough and the best price.

    I have had computer issues since beginning the policy for my dog, Gracie. I hadn't received my policy due to these issues and therefore wasn't clear on time frames. I called today and much to my embarrassment, was told I had submitted a form with a date of visit earlier than the date I had first taken out the policy. The Rep was very kind and we had a good laugh. Thanks!

    I cannot recommend Embrace Insurance highly enough to Pet Parents out there!!! The customer service is genuine, Compassionate, and consistent. The coverage options for accident and illness are amazing and I love the wellness program they offer! The submission of claims has been seamless and my vet submits to Embrace online like my own doctor does for me with my health insurance- it is awesome! I have received reimbursement already- very timely. SO impressed! Finally a pet insurance that provides a real life solution and personable support. Thank you!

    Embrace will increase your premium around 64% more in 5 days if you had chosen mix breed during your enrollment for your pure breed mix regardless if the health records you submitted to them indicating your puppy is a pure breed mix. (Pls choose your breed carefully.) They requested lots of health records during enrollment but they don't review your records until your first claim. Review process was very slow. They are expensive comparing to many other pet insurance.

    Hello Roanna,

    When you signed up for your Embrace policy online you selected Yoyo's breed as a 'mixed breed' though Cavapoo is an option. We received medical history for Yoyo when you signed up, however, unless a pet parent requests a medical history review, the records are not reviewed until the first accident/illness claim. We reached out to you informing you of the option to have the records reviewed on 9/17/20 but the email went unanswered. As we reviewed the records with Yoyo's first illness claim for diarrhea, we noticed the breed was incorrect and reached out to you immediately.

    I am sorry you found the customer service poor. Was there a specific example you were referring to? I see that you have both called and emailed us, and I do not see any issues you brought up that were not addressed. I can understand you are not pleased with the rate increase, however, the policy was started with the information you provided online.

    Kind regards,
