    This is the worst pet insurance company I have ever trusted in. The reps don’t explain the policy well and the customer service management is worthless. I paid all this money to per month to have my 2 dogs never be seen by a vet because of the upfront cost that I couldn’t afford.

    Hello Ramon,

    We understand a premium increase is never ideal and we regret any disappointment you've experienced with your policy. Embrace evaluates our premium increases annually based on our entire book of business. Our data team focuses on several factors, including the age of the insured pet, the tenure of 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. To help offset larger increases we offer options to adjust your coverage, to help find coverage that still suits your needs and the needs of your pet, while also aiding in maintaining your budget. We see you've already spoken with a representative regarding these options, but you can also explore them via your MyEmbrace account under "Change Coverage" and can view more detailed instructions here: http://help.embracepetinsurance.com/en/articles/4428785-changing-your-pet-s-coverage.

    I’ve been a customer of Embrace for over 13 years, and I can't recommend them enough. I first signed up when I adopted my first dog, and during his later years when he became seriously ill, this insurance truly made all the difference. Every claim was handled exactly according to the terms, no surprises, no denied claims, and the process for submitting and receiving reimbursements was incredibly easy. Their transparency and straightforwardness gave me so much peace of mind during a really difficult time.

    Now, I continue to use them for my two current dogs, and my experience remains just as excellent. Their customer service is outstanding. They are responsive, kind, and genuinely helpful. It's rare these days to find a company that maintains this level of consistency and trust over so many years. I'm so grateful to have found them, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, honest pet insurance.

    Embrace Pet Insurance is a standout choice for pet owners seeking comprehensive and customizable coverage for their furry companions. With a reputation for excellent customer service and a range of flexible plans, Embrace ensures that your pet's health and well-being are always a priority. One of the most impressive features of Embrace is its broad coverage options. From accidents and illnesses to hereditary conditions and alternative therapies like acupuncture, Embrace goes above and beyond to cater to your pet's unique needs. Their Healthy Pet Deductible program is a game-changer, rewarding policyholders with a $50 reduction in their deductible for every year they go without filing a claim.

    Embrace also offers a Wellness Rewards program, which reimburses routine care expenses such as vaccinations, dental cleanings, and microchipping. This add-on is perfect for proactive pet parents who want to stay ahead of their pet's health needs. The claims process is straightforward and efficient, with many customers praising the quick reimbursement times and user-friendly online portal. Embrace's commitment to transparency and fairness is evident in their clear policy terms and willingness to cover curable pre-existing conditions after a symptom-free period.

    While no pet insurance is perfect, Embrace comes close. Some benefits, like microchipping and end-of-life expenses, require an add-on plan, but the overall value and peace of mind they provide far outweigh these minor drawbacks. In summary, Embrace Pet Insurance is a compassionate and reliable partner for pet owners. Their dedication to providing top-notch coverage and support makes them a trusted choice for ensuring your pet's health and happiness.

The last 2.5 years of his life, he was in physical therapy once a week, and I never had any issues with his coverage and reimbursement. With a giant breed dog, the cost of coverage as he aged also increased. But it was always a fair price for what was covered.

    Embrace has decided to raise their rates with the unbelievable explanation that they did a deep dive into the market and found out they were undercharging. What are they scuba divers? At least come up with something original and not an overused lie. My one dog has zero claims. And the other one about 1500 for the year. I was paying 198.00 now raised as of May to 298.00. Embrace has wonderful customer service agents. I feel the management team that came up with this malarkey, should be the ones to take the calls. I think it is cowardly to hide behind the customer service agents.

    I have been with embrace for approximately 9 years and feel like I am locked in due to my one dog who is 8 years old and would be considered to have pre existing conditions if I changed insurance companies. So I am stuck. I think the customer service agents should receive the raises, not the team that instituted the raises, that we are all now having to pay.

    Embrace comes with a high recommendation from me. I was pleased with my coverage when my dog was insured with them. Embrace has a very efficient and friendly staff and I have only ever had great service and a wonderful experience with them. I recently left Embrace only because I was able to find a better rate with better coverage for my pet at a different company. My decision to move companies was a financial and logistical decision, but didn't have anything to do with the quality of Embrace's service.

    Embrace is partnered with USAA and I am a veteran, so having that extra discount and extra care/partnership between USAA and Embrace gave me a lot of comfort that my pet was getting one of the best options out there. I have an older dog, so I have to make considerations for him, but another friend of mine has a cat and still has their pet insured with Embrace. They have had nothing but good things to say about Embrace's cat insurance as well.

    The contacted Embrace Pet Insurance due to my 1 year old kitten having an unexpected ER visit. This opened my eyes to the importance of having pet insurance because the cost was over $2,000 and if I had pet insurance it would have been covered 90%. I called Embrace and spoke with a knowledgeable insurance agent Netta who took her time to explain the cover as to what it covers and how the process of getting coverage begins. She answered all of my questions and the sign up process was quick and easy. Their app was easy to set up and now I can breathe easier knowing my two kittens are covered my a reputable pet insurance company.

    Beware! Embrace and Fraud Are Synonyms – Stay Away from This Company. I have never written a negative review before. Typically, when I encounter a bad experience, I try to resolve it directly and find an amicable solution. However, that was impossible with Embrace. I purchased a policy for my yellow lab—my child—a few months ago and followed every rule in their book to ensure that, if and when I needed to file a claim, it would be handled fairly, ethically, and professionally. I submitted all required medical records dating back to 2023, completed orthopedic examinations, and even called to confirm the absence of pre-existing conditions. I did everything right.

    Yet, when I submitted my very first claim—for a simple case of diarrhea—it was denied. Embrace falsely linked it to an isolated, one-time incident of hypersalivation, which was completely unrelated. Their process is designed to delay, deflect, and deny rather than support their customers. This company operates unethically, immorally, and, in my opinion, engages in deceptive business practices. Embrace is a fraud—stay far away!

    We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your policy and claims experience. We want to assure you that we love paying claims—in fact, 92% of claims qualify for coverage!

    To clarify, we are unable to provide coverage for pre-existing conditions, which means if a pet showed signs, symptoms, or was diagnosed with a related condition before the policy started or within the waiting or exclusionary periods, the condition would not be eligible for coverage. Our policies include a 2-day accident waiting period, a 14-day illness waiting period, and a 6-month orthopedic waiting period for dogs.

    In reviewing your claim history, we can confirm that the vomiting claim was not covered due to its relation to a pre-existing hypersalivation condition. However, we want to assure you that your claim for diarrhea is still in line for review.

    We understand that claim decisions can sometimes be frustrating, and we are happy to review any concerns further. Please feel free to contact us at 800-511-9172 or embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com—we would love the opportunity to help!

    My husband and I have a 4 year old doing going on 5. We had embrace for 1 year. During that time, they upped our monthly from $63 to $90 a month because of, "inflation". This was the LESSER of the plans. The thing that made us cancel was we went and go our dog his annual wellness visit, which cost us $290. Because we had scheduled our wellness visit 4 days sooner than 1 year due to the vet's scheduling conflicts (we needed our dog to get the flu and bordatella shots in order to keep going to dog daycare), they refused to reimburse us. Because of FOUR DAYS. We cancelled, I can't believe they'd forego over $1K a year because they didn't want to reimburse us 70% of $290 ($203).

    Hello Carly,

    We're sorry for any disappointment you experienced with your policy! Routine and preventative care, such as an annual wellness visit, is eligible for reimbursement under the optional add-on Wellness Rewards plan. The Wellness Rewards plan is not insurance, so there is no deductible to meet. However, if your Wellness balance has been fully maxed out and reimbursed back to you for the current term period, we are unable to reimburse more than your chosen annual allowance. The Wellness Rewards balance does reset back to the full amount when the policy renews each year, but we are required to process claims based on the actual date of service and how it falls within your policy term period. We were unable to locate your account to view the specific details of your policy, but we would like to resolve any additional questions or concerns you have.

    Embrace Pet Insurance insured us through the veterinary ups and downs of life with our four cats, letting us help our cats live their best lives for the longest possible. Embrace insured us through the travails of hyperthyroidism, a burst anal gland, a tissue infection, stitches, weight gain, weight loss, runny poop, sensitive stomachs, bad breath, dental cleanings, vaccinations, claw trimming, ultrasounds, x-rays, sensitive skin topical treatments, and prescription cat food. We were able to give the best possible lives to our cats because Embrace helped us afford to do that.

    In every case, every single person from Embrace who interacted with me was pleasant and helpful. Claims were reviewed in a timely way. Any issues were sorted out quickly. Online claim filing was not too hard (even for me). Our cats have both the veterinary version of major medical insurance and wellness insurance through Embrace. In my opinion, both insurances are well worth the cost. Embrace even covered RadioCat treatment for our Meghan; this single injection gave her several extra years of happy, healthy, pill-free life and cured her hyperthyroidism.

I was never able to reach Embrace thru this predatory site. After an extensive Google search, I did find a working number; a pleasant woman answered the phone and I explained to her that I had just paid for a second year of pet insurance and that I wanted my credit card info removed from their site. She did not have the authority to do that so she passed me onto her manager. This fellow informed me that it wasn't their policy to remove credit card information.

    Shelley, we are very sorry to hear of your disappointment in the premium increase on your policy. Though we know it does not make the situation any easier to navigate, as premiums do increase over time with all types of insurance products, the same standard applies with pet insurance products. The primary factors that impact premium evaluation annually with Embrace include the age of the insured pet, he tenure of the policy, and inflation, which includes the increasing cost of veterinary care. Our premiums are based on actuarial data collected from all active Embrace policies.

    Increases on our policies specifically are evaluated annually in relation to your renewal date. As we are a paperless company, we do use electronic delivery to provide all notifications regarding policy changes and renewals. To make sure you are receiving our notices, it can be helpful to make sure we are an approved sender in your email settings.

    Pet insurance is mostly a scam. They will pay nickles and dimes at best. Pre-existing conditions does not mean what you think it does. For them it means they get out of most anything. Much better off to self insure by putting $100 a month aside. My dog had renal failure and even with this major condition, I still would have been much better off just paying out of my own pocket. As it stood, I paid them thousands in insurance premiums and then got nickels back, paying mostly out of pocket for this condition. You literally will not benefit from pet insurance in almost any instance except possibly from a catastrophic accident (hit by a car or something). Even cancer is doubtful, because once a pet has cancer they go pretty quickly no matter what is done. Just set aside the premium you would pay them from the moment you get a pet. You'll be better off.

    I had Embrace pet insurance for much of my cat's life. Sadly, her life ended. It was near the end I used the claims the most. It was easy to do, as I simply uploaded the invoice into their claims. It would take some time to process, but that was expected. However my best experience with them was not the silent but easy reimbursement process. It was after my cat's life ended. I waited a long time to cancel the rest of the policy because I didn't want to be reminded - several months. When I finally did the staff on the phone were both helpful, quick, and went far above what I expected by getting me reimbursed back as far as they could after hearing how long it had been. It was a lovely kindness that I don't often experience in any sort of customer service.

    Hello William, we are sorry to hear of your negative experience with Embrace. We know a premium increase is never ideal. Premiums do increase over time with all insurance products, and pet insurance is no exception. Some of the factors that impact premium evaluation each year with Embrace include the age of the insured pet, tenure of the policy, and inflation, which includes increases in veterinary costs. Our premiums are based on actuarial data of all the policies we have in force, and it is important to note that over the lifetime of the policy with any pet insurance company, you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase(s) happen.

    To try to help offset larger increases and ensure your coverage remains within your budget, we do structure our policies to allow each pet parent to change coverage parameters to adjust the premium based on what they feel is best for their individual pet and situation. If you'd like to explore changing your pet's coverage to better fit your budget, you can do this via your MyEmbrace account, or by giving us a call at 800-511-9172 and we are happy to help.

Makes me wonder why they’re not a vet any longer… Usually the team member that answers the phone is very pleasant, but the wait time can be 16 to 20 minutes and sometimes more. They have enough employees to make sure that they have accounts receivable staff, but never enough people to answer the phones regarding your claim… I am now locked in because of the disease my dog has, going to another insurance would cause a pre-existing disease.… I would never refer them to anybody I really cared about…

    Hello Melody,

    Thank you for reaching out and we are very sorry to hear of your disappointment with Embrace. Though we know it does not make the situation any easier to navigate, as premiums do increase over time with all types of insurance products, the same applies with pet insurance. The main factors that impact premium evaluation annually with Embrace include the age of a pet, tenure of the policy, and inflation, which includes the increasing cost of veterinary care. Our premiums are based on actuarial data collected from all active Embrace policies. While we understand a premium increase can be frustrating, our policies are customizable and you are able to alter the coverage parameters to try to find a premium to better suit your budget. If this is ever an option you would like to consider, you can do this by giving us a call or reviewing your MyEmbrace Portal.

    As for the review of claims, we want to assure you that our primary goal is to provide coverage when we can and 92% of the claims submitted to Embrace qualify for coverage. While we do strive to process claims submitted within the standard processing time of 10-15 business days, there are times like in instances of a first insurance submission or a claim where we may need clarifying information about the invoice or services rendered, that the processing may take longer. We want to always ensure our claims are processed fairly and if you ever do not agree with a decision made, we encourage you to reach out and discuss it with our team. While we do understand at times our hold times may be longer than desired, we are continuously working to train and hire additional staff to aid in resolving this.

    We understand that your experience with us has not been satisfactory. If you have specific concerns that you would like us to investigate further on your policy, please feel free to email us at embracesocial@embracepertinsurance.com.

    Tldr: Embrace declined to reimburse us for our dog's CCL surgery due to a minor misstatement in our dog's health record. Even after a vet's note clarifying.

    We have been paying for dog insurance since September 2023. Our dog had CCL surgery in October 2024 with first signs showing in April 2024. The vet technician took an unverifiable, off hand comment in the notes section that mentioned we may have noticed some limping months prior (even though we didn't think anything was seriously wrong at the time or we would have brought him into the vet sooner).

    It took over 50 days to get an initial response from Embrace and the first thing I heard back was a list of all the possible things they would not cover. They ultimately declined the claim (66 days and 2 premium payments later) even after an appeal with a vet's note that clarified that the official doctor's diagnosis wasn't until April. Overall dealing with Embrace has been a frustrating experience that I would not wish on anyone. Do NOT use Embrace and save your money for a rainy day for your furry loved ones.

    Do not recommend, they consider everything a preexisting condition and deny all claims. Had a overzealous vet note everything no matter how minor on the first exam of an 9 week old puppy. Months later when I filed my first claim it was denied. Appealed it and had the vet write a letter explaining how there was no correlation and it was completely independent of the first exam and Embrace said it didn't matter. She would be ineligible for a year. In Nov I had a dental procedure completed that will help save future claims and pain for the pup and not going to bother filing because they won't cover it because the initial exam noted slightly base narrow lower canines.

    Claims processing is timely, straightforward and easy in the portal. CSR reps if you ever need to call, are US based and always able to help. Avoid pre-existing conditions, buy insurance when you acquire your pet before you take them to the vet for their first appointment. Have your vet do the ortho exam and complete that form and submit it immediately to get the 6 month waiting period for Ortho coverage waived. Request Embrace contact your vet immediately after your pets first visit, obtain their detailed and complete medical record with SOAP notes and confirm/advise if they are excluding any pre-existing conditions from being covered while you are in your first month of coverage so you can cancel and receive a full refund if you disagree. Following those simple steps and then filing your claim online in the portal will enable your first claim should you file one.

    Hello Tammy,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience and any misunderstanding regarding your coverage. We strive to ensure all our customers fully understand what their policy includes, and I apologize if there was any miscommunication during the signup process.

    Our terms and conditions do clarify preventative care is excluded under the accident and illness insurance under Part IV- Exclusions: 2. Preventative Care including, but not limited to, wellness exams or tests, preventative Treatment, tests or diagnostic procedures, vaccinations, flea and other parasite prevention, spaying or castration (including preventative sterilization surgery, such as for Treatment for cryptorchidism, chimerism, or chromosomal abnormalities), grooming and de-matting, and dewclaw removal;

    We understand preventative care is important too, which is why we also have our optional Wellness Rewards program which reimburses for routine and preventative care so that each pet parent can customize their policy to better fit their needs.

    Hello Brett,

    We certainly understand your concern in regard to the premium increase! The premium increase is not currently based on your pet's health status or the individual claims you've submitted, but on our entire book of business (the overall actuarial data) based on your pet's age, breed, sex, and the location where you reside. The main factors that impact premiums each year include the age of a pet, tenure of the policy, and inflation. The increase in your pet’s age, regardless of how old they are, is the main factor because there is a much higher risk that comes along with a pet getting older. Tenure, which is the number of years a pet has been insured on a policy, is also a premium factor.

    The reality of the premiums is that we try to keep up with the actuarial fluctuations as best as we can and adjust premiums accordingly from year to year. Because these rates are filed and approved, we're not legally permitted to just change the premium. However, Embrace's coverage structure allows each pet parent to change coverage parameters to adjust the premium based on what they feel is best for their individual pet and situation. If you are interested in exploring these options, you can do so via your MyEmbrace account under "Change Coverage" and can view more detailed instructions here: http://help.embracepetinsurance.com/en/articles/4428785-changing-your-pet-s-coverage.

    We are committed to providing consistent coverage for pets throughout their life, and while we need to adjust our prices as your pet ages due to higher health risks, we strive to keep our increases as reasonable as possible while maintaining comprehensive coverage. We see you recently spoke with a representative on the phone, but if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out and we're happy to help! In addition to our phone line, we can also be reached via email at hello@embracepetinsurance.com.

They only finished reviewing my claim AFTER I cancelled the policy at the 12-month renewal date. And guess what, they covered $0 and refused all claims.

    Hello Laura, we are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your policy. We see several of your claims were eligible for coverage and reimbursement was issued for eligible claims once the deductible was met. We want to assure you we love paying claims and 92% of our claims qualify for coverage. We want to be upfront about our coverage and the exclusion of pre-existing conditions which is defined and agreed upon in our terms and conditions as:
    32. Pre-existing Condition(s) means:
    a. A Chronic Condition observed by you or your Veterinary Provider prior to the end of the Waiting Period for your Pet(s) and any related conditions; or
    b. An Illness or Injury that first occurred or showed Clinical Signs prior to the end of the Waiting Period for your Pet and any related conditions.

    c. Undiagnosed conditions with the same Clinical Signs as those in a. or b. above are also considered pre-existing.

    PART IV – EXCLUSIONS
    Pre-existing Conditions;

    i. If your Pet has been treated for Undiagnosed vomiting and/or diarrhea prior to the end of your Pet’s Waiting Period, your Pet must be free of conditions with the same Clinical Signs for twelve (12) consecutive months before any conditions with the same Clinical Signs may be covered again.

    PART I – DEFINITIONS

    6. Dermatological Condition means an Illness related to your Pet’s skin and is deemed to include ear infections and skin lumps from skin irritation or infection, such as interdigital cysts from pododermatitis, but not conjunctivitis or parasitic infestations

    We do however distinguish between temporary and permanent pre-existing conditions. If a pre-existing conditions is deemed temporary, if your pet goes 12 consecutive months without any recurrent signs or symptoms it could be eligible for expiration so we can provide coverage in the future. Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer to process an accident or illness claim if we need additional information, including if we are trying to expire a temporary pre-existing condition so that we can provide coverage for the claim. Obtaining medical history is a process we are continuously working to improve. We work directly with your vet to gather any additional medical records needed to review your pet’s complete medical history and we copy you on any email request to keep you in the loop. We see several of your pet's temporary pre-existing conditions were eligible for expiration once updated medical records were obtained and reviewed.

    Our terms and conditions also clarify preventative care is excluded under the accident and illness insurance under Part IV- Exclusions: 2. Preventative Care including, but not limited to, wellness exams or tests, preventative Treatment, tests or diagnostic procedures, vaccinations, flea and other parasite prevention, spaying or castration (including preventative sterilization surgery, such as for Treatment for cryptorchidism, chimerism, or chromosomal abnormalities), grooming and de-matting, and dewclaw removal;

    We understand preventative care is important too, which is why we also have our optional Wellness Rewards program which reimburses for routine and preventative care so that each pet parent can customize their policy to better fit their needs. We are sorry to hear you cancelled your policy but hope this information provides some clarification regarding your concerns.

    Embrace Pet Insurance is garbage. Don't waste your time and money! I had a 7 month old GR become Ataxic (he was walking off balance and losing his footing). I took him to the vet, the ER and the neurologist. We figured out he had a potential Neurological event due to maybe an inner ear infection or an immunological condition. Of course when you have an ear infection or swelling you may feel dizzy and even VOMIT if you feel like the room is spinning.

    Well 3300$ later and EMBRACE refused to help me pay for his Bills because he has had “vomiting” before. I am a healthcare professional. VOMITING is NOT a DIAGNOSIS, IT'S A SYMPTOM. Unless you are born with an abnormality YOU DON'T JUST VOMIT FOR NO REASON. HIS REASON WAS THAT HE HAD SOMETHING HE HAS NEVER HAD BEFORE, AN EAR INFECTION. Well they grabbed on to him having “vomiting” to tell me they won't cover absolutely anything. As a healthcare Provider for Humans I find it disgusting you would attach yourself to a SYMPTOM to deny coverage to someone that pays you to be there for them.

Choosing a condition does not automatically label that condition as pre-existing; pre-existing conditions are determined based on your pet’s medical history prior to enrolling in the policy or during the waiting period. This ensures fairness and consistency across all claims.

    TERRIBLE!! Do yourself a favor and choose another company. Embrace will find any loophole to not help reimburse claims. My experience: cat was treated for pneumonia/URI in past. Later on and unrelated to previous URI, she developed a polyp that required removal. Embrace will not help pay since she had URI in the past.

    Response from Embrace Pet Insurance

    Hello Christine,

    We certainly understand your concern in regard to the premium increase! Premiums increase over time with all insurance products, and pet insurance is no exception. Our premiums are set by our data team, who conduct a substantial actuarial analysis each year, and these findings help to determine increases in premium pricing for all policies in each state. The premium increase is not currently based on your pet's health status or the individual claims you've submitted, but on our entire book of business (the overall actuarial data) based on your pet's age, breed, sex, and the location where you reside.

    The main factors that impact premiums each year include the age of a pet, tenure of the policy, and inflation. The increase in your pet’s age, regardless of how old they are, is the main factor because there is a much higher risk that comes along with a pet getting older. Tenure, which is the number of years a pet has been insured on a policy, is also a premium factor. The reality of the premiums is that we try to keep up with the actuarial fluctuations as best as we can and adjust premiums accordingly from year to year.

    Because these rates are filed and approved, we are not legally permitted to just change the premium. However, Embrace's coverage structure allows each pet parent to change coverage parameters to adjust the premium based on what they feel is best for their individual pet and situation. We are sad to see you go, but understand you must do what you feel is best for you and your pet. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out and we're happy to help.

    I filed a claim for my dog who has seasonal allergies which result in skin irritation. We have her on a medication to reduce her discomfort and prevent her from causing harm to herself through scratching and biting. The claim was for reimbursement of prescriptions I paid for, which I was excited to find out was a part of my policy. Unfortunately, I was told my claim was denied due to a vet record that stated she had suffered hair loss as a young puppy and that there had not been enough time between that instance and her allergy diagnosis.

    I was told I could have her vet write a letter that clarified the matter and that would help with the claim. The vet provided a letter stating how the two events were unrelated (my puppy had lost the hair as the result of a cut, which then healed) and that the resulting allergies were not caused by that incident. I send this off and then get an update a little over a week later that states the claim was denied again, citing alopecia (aka hair loss) as the reason for denial. I called in to inquire why the chain in wording was still grounds for the denial, and was told that essentially I was SOL because it couldn’t be proven that the incidents were not related and that I had not had adequate testing done to show that my dogs allergies were not caused by this. I was then informed that my dog was now not covered for any skin conditions going forward, which was a real tough pill to swallow.

    I trusted this company as I am a loyal USAA customer and trusted that this company was of the same mind as them. Embrace showed me that they did not value me as a customer, nor did they care about the well being of my dogs. I have never had an issue with any claims I have filed through USAA. I was always trusted by my adjustors and treated fairly, even if the resolution wasn’t ideal. In contrast, embrace used legalese and difference of interpretation to find a loophole. To know that such a scam is endorsed by a company I trust is very disheartening.

    I have 2 black labs, and never thought I could afford to do pet insurance for one dog, let alone 2. One of my pups has a serious health condition- Addison's disease. When I inquired about coverage for him, reps were very upfront in letting me know that I might want to consider stepping him down to Accident Only coverage, as many health problems he may have in the future could be tied to his pre-existing condition and not covered. I really appreciated this honesty. I would not have thought about this- indirect ties back to the disease, i.e) like potential stomach issues that may or may not be due to either his disease OR from the meds he takes for it- many times there wouldn't be a way to tell if the disease was a part of any health condition he may have, so coverage could be denied..

    Embrace could have elected not to elaborate on this, and I would have gone on paying the full premium only to find out months later when I got a vet bill for him that it wasn't covered. I now have him on the very low cost accident only coverage, which is saving me a decent amount of $ every month. His brother has full coverage, and when I think of the price I'm paying for the year, it's well worth it. Just one trip to an emergency vet is most likely going to run you a minimum of $1-2K, and often, as we found with our poor Addison's boy, much more than that. Check them out, they will go through all their different options with you and answer ALL of your questions. Great Customer Service!

    Our cat needed surgery to remove a foreign body from which he would have almost certainly died.

For the next couple hours, Everyone I spoke with on the phone was so professional, polite and well spoken that I literally thought “oh this time I got the recording” until each agent finished their into sentence. Numerous agents helped me get the “quick pre certification” done in only a couple hours, so we could make a decision whether to proceed with life saving surgery in time.

    I did everything over the phone, and it still went great, with claim statuses automatically populating to the app as things progressed. And, Despite us living in Alaska, Embrace already had the contact info for the three vets I had used here and emailed them (CCing me) to request documents right away. Their quick action/pre approval allowed us to have the confidence to proceed with the pricey surgery.

    When my cat Bella fell ill, it felt like my world turned upside down. But thanks to Embrace Pet Insurance, the financial stress was significantly alleviated, allowing me to focus on what truly mattered: Bella's health. For ten years, I had Embrace Pet Insurance without ever needing to use it. It was like having a safety net you hope you never need to use. But then, life happened. Bella's sudden illness required immediate attention, and I took her to our local vet.

    The Process: Submitting the invoice to Embrace was a breeze. Within a week, I had 80% of my claim reimbursed. And here's the kicker - because I'd never made a claim before, they waived my $100 deductible. Talk about a silver lining! The Big Hit: Bella's condition worsened, requiring specialized surgery at Cornell University. The costs were astronomical, but knowing I had up to $10,000 in annual coverage with Embrace gave me the peace of mind to go ahead with the treatment without financial worry. The Support: Throughout this ordeal, Embrace's customer service was like having a friend in the insurance business. They were empathetic, quick to respond, and made sure I understood every step of the process.

    Embrace Pet Insurance turned out to be more than just insurance; it was a lifeline when I needed it most. For anyone considering pet insurance, let Bella's story be your testament. It's not just about the money; it's about the peace of mind knowing your pet's health is covered, no matter the cost. Thank you, Embrace, for being there for Bella and for me.

    Watch out! I moved from California (ranked #1 in cost of veterinary care) to New Jersey (ranked #4) and when I notified Embrace, the premium for next year went from $1870 for my two 12-year old dogs to $3200 - a 70% increase. The $1870 reflected the annual increase that I expected as my dogs are aging, but the additional $1300 was due ONLY to a move to another state. Clearly, Embrace was using the move as an opportunity to force me out of their coverage. I have been with them for 12 years and have had one claim. Because I have been with them since the beginning, they promise to cover the dogs regardless of any previous medical history. When I called, I was told that the price of veterinary care is higher, therefore justifying the premium increase. FALSE! Avoid them!!!!

    Hello Elliot,

    Premiums increase over time with all insurance products, and pet insurance is no exception. Our premiums are set by our data team, who conduct a substantial actuarial analysis each year, and these findings help to determine increases in premium pricing for all policies in each state. The premium is not currently based on your pet's health status or the individual claims you've submitted, but on our entire book of business (the overall actuarial data) based on your pet's age, breed, sex, and the location where you reside.

    However, Embrace's coverage structure allows each pet parent to change coverage parameters to adjust the premium based on what they feel is best for their individual pet and situation. If you are interested in exploring these options, you can do so via your MyEmbrace account under "Change Coverage" and can view more detailed instructions here: http://help.embracepetinsurance.com/en/articles/4428785-changing-your-pet-s-coverage.

    Hello Deanna,

    I'm sorry for any disappointment you've experienced with your policy! Per the terms and conditions, if you increase your coverage, it will reset your pet's waiting periods. This means that any illnesses/conditions that occurred prior to the upgrade date, even if your pet has not seen the vet yet, will be considered pre-existing and will not be eligible for coverage moving forward. We would also require that a physical exam be completed if your pet has not had one in the last 12 months. You can view more detailed information about adjusting coverage here: http://help.embracepetinsurance.com/en/articles/4428785-how-do-i-change-my-pet-s-coverage.

    I have been a customer for over 5 years. Never filed a claim. Had to file a claim on July 5th for a foxtail surgery. Was happy to see my claim was approved and the payment would be sent. Waited the 10 days for check to arrive; it never did. Call to find out why. I had apparently not updated my address after I moved (always had email communication so never even thought about it honestly). My fault. Upon correcting my information, I gave the agent, Nikki, my direct deposit information and she told me they would deposit my claim money into my account. She never mentioned there would be a 2-3 week investigation into whether or not my original check was cashed and that I would not be issued a new payment until the finance department had completed their “investigation”, which is what I find out today after having to call them again (no email, no indication from the previous agent).

    So now it’s been over a month since filing the claim and I must wait an additional 2 weeks to find out if I can even get a payment disbursed and I have no other course of action other than to wait. The payment is for $530.00… not even 1/10th the amount I have paid the company over the years without filing a claim and now I am treated as though I have stolen something or am committing fraud.

    Top all of this off with an email alerting me to my new premium which has gone up $190.00 (from $120.00) a month for 1 dog who has only ever had this one foxtail issue. I will be canceling this policy as soon a get my claim reimbursed. Save yourself the money and deposit your monthly pet insurance payment into a high yield savings account, by the time you need it you will be able to cover most emergencies and maybe even have more left over for something else. Terrible customer experience from a company I had even suggested others use. I feel awful having endorsed this company to anyone I actually like.

    Hello Edward,

    I apologize for any disappointment you experienced with our claims service! When our billing department is notified of a missing reimbursement check for any policy holder, they are required to initiate an investigation and this process can typically take anywhere from 2-3 weeks to complete. However, I see that they have completed their investigation and issued the reimbursement via direct deposit on 8/8/24. Direct deposits can take several business days to process depending on your bank institution, but you will see that shortly.

We found a swollen tick where she was in the car a few weeks before 7/16/2024. A few weeks later she favored a front leg and was very lethargic. We took her to neurologist who diagnosed IVDD and by that time she was back to normal. He did exam, said not IVDD, did a full tick panel. She has always been negative. This time it came back with two positives and she has been put on a high dose of **. Claim was turned down using stiff hindlegs from late June 2023. Her hindlegs weren’t stiff and Red Bank emailed back not in notes not why she was in.

    Tick panel came back positive. She is on ** but the claims rep said the higher titer she was being treated for was lower that the lower titer and even wrote lower was 1:62 when it was 1:64 which is when titer exposure starts. One she is being treated for is 1:128 which on panel is higher. Anything to deny a claim. This is a legitimate claim problem from ticks yet now in Appeal.

    Hello Jay,

    I'm sorry for any disappointment you experienced with your policy! Our only requirement in order for the coverage to take effect at the end of the initial waiting/exclusionary periods is that your pet was seen for a documented physical exam by a licensed vet either within the 12 months prior to the start date of the policy or within the first 14 days. In order for us to process any accident or illness related claims, we need to confirm we have the pet's full pre-policy medical history on file. We look for the detailed chart notes from any exams/visits that occurred within the 12 months prior to starting the policy and through the initial waiting periods - this is 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.

    Pre-existing conditions are ineligible for coverage, which is defined and agreed upon in our terms and conditions as:

    a. A Chronic Condition observed by you or your Veterinary Provider prior to the end of the Waiting Period for your Pet(s) and any related conditions; or

The process is painstaking, demanding detailed (Not Summaries) of each clinic or vet they visited within past year. Getting adopted from shelters and foster care is especially time consuming and annoying, since shelters do not have vets that give details other than neutering or vaccines. So you STILL have to go a vet for a thorough exam, and it takes weeks or more to get an exam. Meanwhile, if you did not cancel your insurance within first 30 days, you will not get a full refund!
