I have had 5 dogs over the last 30 years. 3 French bulldogs. Finally purchased a policy for my french puppy. He was diagnosed 11/20/25 with boas. He had been to the vet 5 times since 9/10/2024. Vet never mentioned boas. Told me thyroid or Addison's disease was causing regurgitation. Vet stuck boas in his file in 2024 without ultrasound or any imaging. Obviously to cover herself. Embrace denied every bill after that 2024 date as pre existing. I am stuck eating over 5k in bills and needing surgery that will cost 10k. It’s still typical insurance, pass the baton, point the finger and make it impossible to get a live person to appeal. Don’t waste any money if your breed has potential classic problems. Every french bulldogs can be diagnosed with stenotic nares or boas. Policy is a worthless piece of paper. Seeing my premiums are $1200 a year.
Rob,
We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with your policy regarding the decision on your submitted claims and the pre-existing conditions identified for your pet. We want to assure you we are happy to provide coverage when able and over 90% of our the claims submitted to us qualify for coverage. We are however, unable to provide coverage for pre-existing conditions. We strive to be as upfront as possible in regard to what we can and cannot cover, and Embrace has a set list of exclusions as part of the Terms and Conditions for the policy. We are sorry to hear that your experience with Embrace did not meet your expectations. If there are any additional questions about your policy or the related claims decisions that we can assist with, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I am ashamed of USAA for associating with such a dishonest company. When signing up, they lie and tell you everything will be covered during 'waiting period'. Then, once you submit a claim, they deny everything. That's when you find out that anything within the last 12 months is considered 'pre existing.' Worse yet, they take their sweet time 'processing' your initial claim, leading to you being just a couple days over your 30-day money back guarantee. Absolutely shameful business practice. DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY!
Hello Denny,
We sincerely regret that your expectations were not met regarding your experience with Embrace. Unfortunately, no pet insurance company is able to provide coverage for pre-existing conditions, and that standard is the same with Embrace. Information regarding how we view pre-existing conditions and also, our waiting / exclusionary periods, is included within our policy documents, policy acknowledgements and our onboarding emails.
We do distinguish between temporary and permanent pre-existing conditions as we understand that some conditions (like diarrhea) can be symptoms of something curable. Temporary conditions are eligible to expire if the pet meets certain criteria. We were unable to locate your account to view the specific details regarding your concerns, but if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care Center at your earliest convenience and we're happy to assist you further.

Hello Joanne,
We understand that premium increases are challenging, and we truly regret any disappointment you've experienced with your policy. We know that as a customer of Embrace for multiple years, you have experienced a premium increase before and in light of that, some of this information may already be familiar to you, but Embrace conducts an actuarial analysis each year, and it is these findings that help us to determine increases in premium pricing for all policies for the term ahead. Our renewal increases are based on multiple factors including the age of the insured pet(s), tenure of the pet(s) on the policy, and veterinary inflation. This includes not only rising veterinary costs but also the recent advances we are seeing in veterinary care. 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 and we're happy to provide additional assistance.

Policy ** renewal was increased by 150%. Reason GIVEN, rising vet costs and "overall health trends" for my 2 dogs. One dog (Ellie) had lymphoma and they had to pay over $45,000 over the last 20 months. The other dog (Dugan) had zero claims. Even after I removed Ellie who died 3/15/26 the new rate just for Dugan went from $254.14 to $561.15. I had to reduce most coverage to get it down to $424.41 monthly.

I went with USAA Embrace due to price and the fact USAA endorsed them. From day one I have had nothing but trouble from them either trying to label my puppy with a pre existing condition, like an ortho issue or something else. My pup has no pre existing conditions and his Vet worked so hard via her notes to prove that to Embrace. My vet said she deals with many pet ins cos and she has never seen one that tries to dodge and not pay legitimate claims. I filed a claim this month and it was denied: pre existing condition being the reason. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY PUP SAW THE DOCTOR FOR THIS REASON.
This company looks FOR ANY GRAY AREA, ANY REASON to deny a claim. I feel battle weary and just over all this, they make me feel like they are the enemy not here to help me. I spoke to a Sam and she said I could file an appeal, but I would need to get the doctor involved. I told her I would not ask the vet to do anymore work on this as her notes were complete and lengthily.
Sam told me the claim would probably be denied again if the doctor did work with them on the appeal. Sam did not seem to have any compassion, did not even ask how Jaxon was doing, just all about denying the claim. I am going to start looking for another insurance co even if it costs me more, I have lost trust in this company. I will also let USAA know about it.

During my conversation today with a gentleman named Clay representing the company embrace for customer service, I was able to find out in a professional, succinct and helpful manner everything that I had asked. What was most unusual is the degree to which I felt that this man actually cared about what he was telling me which I find highly unusual in customer service today if I can even understand what they’re saying from another country representing people in the United States, who wish to talk to someone who can meet their needs.
He is a highly gifted communicator and articulated the mission with clarity and a steadfast commitment to the highest level of performance, and I have never talked to this guy before today, but he was excellent and deserves to either be running customer service or paid significantly for the skillful and helpful, rare qualities that he possesses.

I would have given Embrace a 10 out of 10 until I got my policy renewal documents. My rate went from around $180 to $560 monthly with a $1000. deductible and $10,000 max benefit. My dog is 14 and he has a cardiac condition and I live in California so I expected a rate increase but not by 280%. This means I will no longer be able to afford coverage at a time when I will need it the most. But again: they have been great.
