    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.

    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.

    Hello Sara,

    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. We see you've spoken with a team member regarding your concerns and we are sorry to see you go, but we understand you must do what you feel is best for you and your pets. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com with your name and policy number and we're happy to assist as we are able.

    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.

    Well, let me tell you, when I called in from USAA, the sales lady was very compelling and did a great sales pitch. SO I bought the insurance for my Senior German Shepherd, thinking and knowing he did not have any preexisting conditions. Paid 2 months into the policy ($150) about each month, then they Embrace wanted a annual exam.

    Our Max had not been to the vet in over a year and never had any issues. SO we got the exam on the Military base, and the CPT said he was fine, a little overweight and showing signs of hip dysplasia and recommended a monthly pill called (Librela) would help. SO unfortunate they did not carry this and we would have to get it from another provider. We went to our Local VCA, and the Vet did a very quick overview of Max and said everything was fine; he got the shot. And we were told the shot might give him a little big of lethargy and then ok, BUT NO. 10 days later his spleen busted and we raced him to that Vet and sure enough, no coming back from this.

    SO I filed a claim and there was 2 words in a document buried from the 2025 visit (Choppy gait), which apparently this is a preexisting condition, SO face forward no claims were paid out, or I should say $105 ish and nothing else over $1000 paid out $100 because pre existing. BE very aware of what you are signing and getting into. LOOK at all your doctor's notes before you get a policy. LESSON Learned: 2 words in a buried vet note killed our chances of getting insurance. Usually a Vet gives you an invoice, and you pay. Very rare unless you ask for it, the vet's notes, read carefully and exam just in case because these people take your money without regard. And to top it off, it took about 30 days to get a denied claim. On top of that, I was told via chat that the policy will cancel once I told them Max passed, but it did not. I had to call in, and I am hoping, as the lady said, it will be closed.

This is a new policy as of September 2025. The language is not clear and is well hidden. So if you think you are getting insurance and a waiver for the 180-day waiting period, think again.

    Hello Sarai,

    We regret any disappointment you experienced with our change in policies. Waiting periods and exclusionary periods do vary from state to state to ensure that we are in compliance with each state's regulations. The absence of the orthopedic report card in some states is due to a different orthopedic exclusionary period being put into place in those states. While there is no orthopedic report card to reduce the time frame of this exclusionary period, it is narrowed down to four specific conditions as opposed to all orthopedic conditions as a whole. The acknowledgements that are agreed to upon purchasing a policy do direct pet parents to review their policy terms and conditions for the details on their waiting and exclusionary periods, where this is outlined.

    We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and we are always looking for ways to improve. We see you have been in contact with our representatives already. If we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to reach back out!

    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.

    I had Embrace insurance for my two dogs for about eleven years. Although one of my dogs had continuing gastric issues, the other did not. Embrace never had to pay out more than I paid in!! In the beginning, Embrace was quite reasonable in monthly fees and easy to interface with. Claims were solved with no difficulty.

    That has changed completely! I hear that they've been bought out by another firm, so that can be the issue. As I mentioned, my dogs never created a deficit in their spending. By last year, they were charging me over $500 a month to insure my two dogs. This year, they quoted me $900 a month. I guess it was their way of saying, although we've insured your dogs for years, we're done now.

    In the past few years, the paperwork has been confusing and a lot of work to submit, requiring much more time than in previous years, perhaps intentionally hard to discourage claims?? Finally, I quit after many years. I submitted the invoices for the last claim, and for some reason they were having problems with them. I submitted them well within the time period that I was quoted for clients leaving the company. Again, back and forth with the company. On the company's website, the claim was listed as "on hold."

    I had received an e-mail from an Embrace insurance adjuster about the claim. I consulted an insurance expert, and he said that they're finding that AI is being used with these insurance companies and is causing a problem. He separated out the two invoices associated with this claim, and I sent them back to the Embrace adjuster with an explanation. She thanked me and said that this claim could finally be processed. I just checked with Embrace...apparently, my submittal was "too late" to get processed, therefore an expensive test and some medications for my dog won't be covered...what a scam!!

    Hello Linda,

    We understand that premium increases are challenging. Each year, Embrace conducts a data analysis, 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. 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.

    When submitting a claim, a qualifying invoice will have the pet’s name, the date of service, an itemized list of products/services and their costs, and the grand total including any taxes, fees, discounts, shipping costs, etc. We are unable to use account statements/combined invoices and require individual itemized invoices for each separate date of service, which is why your claims were initially set to pending. Once the correct invoices were received, there was an error with the claim date and we apologize for any confusion that caused! We see a team member has followed up to further address your concerns and provide clarification and resolution. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out and we're happy to assist you further.

    Original Review: June 25, 2026

    A real nightmare. This company has no morals and appears to do everything possible to avoid paying legitimate claims. I have chosen an insurance plan that covers accidents. When my cat, Pickles, broke her hip, I took her to a veterinarian who diagnosed the fracture. We then went to another facility where she underwent surgery. I submitted claims for both visits, and that is when the problems began. They repeatedly requested the same medical records, even after both I and the veterinary providers emailed them multiple times. Every time I called, I received a different explanation from a different representative. We continued resending the documents they requested, over and over again. At one point, a representative asked for the visit notes. I explained that the visit notes were already included in the medical history and treatment records that had been submitted. Nevertheless, both the providers and I sent them again.

    The claim was then marked as being under review, but the very next day I started receiving the same requests for medical history all over again. In my opinion, this company is deliberately creating unnecessary delays and obstacles in an attempt to avoid paying claims. The process has been frustrating, time-consuming, and completely unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company. I will keep warning customers on all kinds of social media and review sites. I will not allow this company to keep fooling customers. Also, a legal action is underway. Basem **

    Response from Embrace Pet Insurance

    Hello Basem,

    We regret any frustration you've experienced with the processing of your claims and we're happy to provide clarification. In order for us to process any accident or illness related claims, we are required to complete a Medical History Review for the pet. We do offer an option to complete this review upfront, but if it's not requested, we do not review the medical records until the time of the first eligible accident or illness claim submission. This information is also stated in our onboarding emails. In order to complete the review, the medical history we look for includes doctor's and/or chart notes in which the vet has recorded examination findings, pet’s health status, and test results (if applicable). Our standard processing time for the Medical History Review is 30 business days, but it can take longer to complete the review if we do not receive the requested records. We see a team member has followed up with you to provide additional information and if you have any other questions, please feel free to reply to them directly and they will be happy to help. Once all the required records are received to complete the review, the claims will be re-opened and processed.

    Best regards,

    Embrace pet insurance has been a solid investment for our family. We have two pets and mainly wanted insurance for anything that would come up and be extensive care. The cost to us for our specific situation was easy to determine as well as fully understanding the benefits of that coverage. I did have a clarifying question the first time I had to submit a claim and was able to speak to a human being with very little wait time and had friendly, competent care in the process. Highly recommend the service.
