    We are so glad that we made the decision to insurance our dog Larry’s health care through Embrace three years ago. The company has been responsive and extremely reliable in providing claim coverage and prompt reimbursement. We could not be more satisfied and highly recommend Embrace to all pet owners.

    Embrace increased cost for coverage by 43%. Our dog is 3 yo, perfect health, regular vet health checks, no claims. We understand cost increases but 43% is outrageous and a disservice to a loyal consumer. We signed on with a competitor for better/more coverage at 1/3rd less cost. We do not recommend Embrace.

    Thank you for providing that feedback, Clark. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your policy and we are sad to see you go! However, we understand you must do what you feel is best for you and your pet. Premiums do increase over time with all insurance products, and pet insurance is no exception. Your pets health or claims submitted are not currently a factor in the premiums. Some of the factors that impact premiums each year include the age of a pet, tenure of the policy, breed, and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. Our premiums are based on actuarial data, and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. Over the lifetime with any pet insurance company you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase happens. 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 have any additional questions or concerns, we can be reached at 800-511-9172 and we're happy to help.

The claims are easy to submit and reimbursed via direct deposit if chosen. We had to put our one dog to rest recently and I was presently surprised when I received a hand written sympathy card printed on special seeded paper.

    My dog is very healthy pup. This year she had a skin irritation and when the claim was submitted, they declined it because 10 months ago she had an ear infection. Really??? According to them, ear infections are caused by allergies therefore they won’t cover it but after a year. I’m sorry but that doesn’t make sense to me. I’m wondering what else is not covered because an ear infection.

    Hello S. D M,

    I am sorry for any disappointment you experienced with your claim! Unfortunately, a dermatologic condition (ear infection) was noted in the medical records prior to the policy purchase, making it a pre-existing condition. Per the policy terms and conditions, a dermatologic condition means "any 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." I see you recently spoke with the adjuster who worked on the claim, but if you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out and we're happy to help!

    When getting pet insurance the small print matters. The 6 month waiting period for ortho is one of those pitfalls. No one knows when a dog may have an issue so why wouldn't a reasonable company cover that day one. My dog had 3 teeth pulled because of an infection yet they are running me over the coals because 5 years ago my vet said he had some plaque on his teeth. My vet had to write a letter stating that observation had zero to do with the ailment requiring the teeth to be extracted. I think most of these companies hedge their bet but are unclear about how they decide on claims.

    If you’re considering pet insurance from Embrace have an expectation that you will be immensely frustrated, feel as though you’re being interrogated instead of assisted, and have to hold the hand of every single person you come in contact with. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to do business with these people. They are absolute robots who have no ability to provide clear, concise, or accurate information at any stage of your claims process. Both vets that we use had warned us that Embrace is the worst pet insurance company that they deal with and that they have to constantly re-send medical records for their clients. Avoid the frustration and see pet insurance from anyone else - I’d be shocked if there is anyone worse.

    We are sorry to hear of your frustration with the claims process, Kyle. In order to process an accident or illness claim we do need your pet's complete medical history on file as our terms and conditions state:

    8. By purchasing a policy, you give us permission to gather all medical history for your Pet(s) from all your Veterinary Providers as we deem necessary. The medical information must contain detailed Veterinarian examination findings and must be made available to us for review to satisfy the examination requirement in PART II. item 1.

    PART II – CONDITIONS 1. Your Pet must have been examined by a Veterinarian in the twelve (12) months prior to the Pet Original Start Date as shown on the Schedule Page(s) or within fourteen (14) days after the Pet Original Start Date. Failure to do so will result in your policy defaulting to an Accident only policy. Meaning you will have no Illness Coverage and your Illness premium will be refunded. You may add Illness Coverage back onto your policy once a qualifying Veterinarian has examined your Pet and detailed records for the exam are available to us. This will result in your Illness Waiting Period end date changing to the date of the first exam. No Illness Coverage is available until a qualifying Veterinarian has examined your Pet, and Preexisting Conditions, if any, may be determined upon the date of the qualifying Veterinarian's examination.

    Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer as we gather your pet’s complete medical history. 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. The good news is once your pet's medical history has been established, future claims tend to process much quicker and our standard processing time is 10-15 business days. We see you already spoke with one of our team members who was able to assist in getting your claims processed. We appreciate you sharing this feedback as we are always looking to provide a simple and easy claims process while still abiding by our Terms and Conditions.

    I have been a customer of Embrace Pet Insurance for 6 years. This year they are trying to raise my premiums by 59%! I'm not kidding. My dog is very healthy and young. I submit, at most, one claim per year and it's just for his annual checkup. He is a very low risk dog to insure, yet they claim this is a reasonable year over year increase. I've spoken with Embrace and they offer me no alternatives but to fire them and find other coverage. Embrace is a massive rip off and I'm filing a complaint with the Consumer Affairs dept in CA and with the AG's office. These insane business practices have to be stopped by us, the consumers. Companies, like Embrace, can't be allowed to get away with this stuff and all pet owners should be able to affordably care for our loved ones!

Just before the 1st birthday of my chocolate lab he was diagnosed with seizures and a couple years later he was diagnosed with Addison's disease. Addison's requires a monthly injection that costs about $140 every time and the seizure med is about $100 a refill. Embrace quickly reimburses me for these charges.

    I got the Accident and illness coverage through Embrace insurance for my dog when he was just a puppy for around $30. Now my dog is about to be 5 and it went up to $64. I called wondering why it had gone up and they told me it's because of his age. Get this though, I never have been able to reap the benefits of his insurance since he thankfully hasn’t had any accidents or illnesses. I never got money back, they only told me that since he has been in good health the deductible was dropped. Thanks I guess?? With the amount of money I spent these past 5 years paying for this useless insurance, I could’ve easily used that money to pay for his veterinary bills.

    I’m a vet and naturally well aware at how high veterinary bills can climb when treating pets with complex cases. Embrace is my go-to recommendation because the customer service is excellent and they cover bilateral conditions. This means if your dogs tears a CrCL in their knee, usually the other one is not far behind and they will cover both! Many pet insurance companies do not- leaving you with a tough decision or an expensive vet bill to pay all on your own. My lab mix Haka had his CrCL torn and Embrace helped us out with surgery costs as well as rehab costs to get him back into shape for long distance hiking again.

    I’ve had pet insurance with Embrace since 2015, covering several dogs with varying issues over the years. When faced with a life-threatening condition, I could focus on getting my dog well and not the vet fees. Embrace has been phenomenal all these years. Claims process is fast and simple. Policies can be customized to fit each situation, budget, and needs.

    Premiums do increase for senior pets, but they didn’t turn away my 9-year-old rescue dog. They continued to renew his policy each year right up to when he passed away at 13. The Embrace staff even sent me a hand-signed condolence card! I’ll never let money decide if my dogs will get treatment because I know Embrace is there!

    I got Embrace for my beloved Phideoux, a chocolate Labrador Retriever. When I first got her insurance was to be covered in case she suffered an accident. I never expected she was going to have cancer. Embrace was with me since her first diagnosis. They covered her specialists visits, lab tests, and prescriptions all the way to her last injection. Embrace has a very friendly claim submission and a quick review with a rapid response. They always deposited the approval amount in 2 days. It helped me to keep up with expenses and being able to continue paying for my Phideoux treatment. When Phideoux went to Heaven they were empathetic and caring.

Refunds have always been timely and claims easy to submit. Rates used to remain consistent throughout a dog’s life. Over the last few years much has changed. This year we received a generic email that our premium rates would be doubling. $300 per month for 2 dogs!!! No explanation. We’ve been forced to increase our deductible to the max to be able to keep our older dog covered. For years I consistently recommended Embrace to all of my friends with dogs.

    Hello Annette,

    We sincerely appreciate your loyalty and understand that it may feel like you're being penalized. We want to assure you that it is not our intention for you to feel that way. Our aim is to provide comprehensive coverage, and as pets are insured for longer periods, we anticipate covering a broader range of potential risks. Consequently, the premium increases to align with this higher risk and the increased likelihood of coverage.

    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 of the policy and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. Our premiums are based on actuarial data of all the policies we have in force, and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. Over the lifetime with any pet insurance company you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase happens. 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 have any additional questions or concerns, we can be reached at 800-511-9172 and we're happy to help.

    I am writing this review to share my extremely disappointing experience with Embrace. My interaction with them has been characterized by a questionable appeals process, selective use of information, and a blatant disregard for the evidence I provided. One of the major issues I encountered was their appeals process, which seemed designed to be deliberately convoluted and unhelpful. Despite presenting solid evidence disputing their claim of a pre-existing condition in my pet, they continued to ignore the facts. Our initial vet misdiagnosed the condition, and we sought a second opinion that confirmed the error. However, Embrace persistently refused to acknowledge the correct diagnosis.

    It became evident that the adjusters and underwriters selectively choose certain verbiage to suit their agenda of avoiding claim payouts. During my interactions with them, I was appalled to hear an adjuster suggest that I personally go back to the first vet for more information if I wanted to appeal again. This is not only unprofessional but completely absurd, as it is their responsibility to thoroughly investigate claims. Furthermore, the company relies on policy terms and conditions, specifically #32 regarding pre-existing conditions, to justify their actions. However, it is crucial to note that our vet only officially diagnosed our dog after the policy was purchased. This fact seems conveniently overlooked, highlighting their unwillingness to consider the timeline of events and putting their profit over customer satisfaction.

    In my pursuit of a fair resolution, I requested the cancellation of my policy. It is clear that Embrace prioritizes financial gain over ethical practices and customer welfare. I echo the sentiments of another reviewer who suggested that the company should employ vet techs. Ironically, one of our adjusters was a former vet tech, and this did not result in a more compassionate or customer-oriented approach. In conclusion, I strongly caution against choosing Embrace for your pet insurance needs. Their unscrupulous tactics, disregard for evidence, and lack of customer-centric values make them an unreliable and unethical choice. I encourage pet owners to explore alternative options with more reputable and ethical pet insurance providers.

    Hello Shabril, we are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your policy, and your claim did not turn out the way you anticipated. The policy Terms and Condition, which are provided and agreed upon at the time of purchase, reviews our definition of a pre-existing condition which is as follows:

    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.

    It’s very important as the administrator of the insurance contract that we follow the terms exactly as written and consistently for each insured. Ultimately we do have to go off the medical records provided by your veterinarian when it comes to processing claims and appeals. We see you are in communication with one of our team members to discuss your concerns and we appreciate you sharing this feedback as we are always looking to improve while still abiding by our Terms and Conditions.

    I have had this insurance for my dog for probably 10 years. The price started out ok and had risen to 230.00 per month. It was my fault for not checking but my friends were paying a quarter of this price. It does not include any meds, shots or teeth cleaning. I called and had it lowered but it is still high. At this point, my dog is already at its breed's max age and afraid to switch. Think next time I am going with Nationwide. They did pay out on a surgery many years ago, but have well made up for it and I could do a few more surgeries and never cover the insurance I have paid. You would think they would cover teeth cleaning once every 4 or 5 years. Nope and if your dog gets a dental disease too bad.

    I am very sad to write this today. For the past year my wife and I had been extremely happy with our Embrace Pet Insurance. As a family with six cats, we were impressed with how quickly Embrace responded to emergencies once the initial claim is processed. When our beloved cat Rutabaga died, we were reimbursed nearly $10,000 of what turned out to be his end of life coverage fairly rapidly.

    Unfortunately, our experience renewing our insurance has not been similarly pleasant. We were shocked to find our policy had increased from $80 to $113 per month for 5 cats. The only claim we made (that was covered) was Rutabaga's inoperable tumor. We have spoken to customer service twice about this, and no one was receptive to our complaint – probably because it is obvious that we’d be on the hook for new pre-existing conditions if we were to change insurance providers. We strongly recommend thinking carefully about who you get your pet insurance from. The last thing we expected was our other cats’ premiums would increase so much after losing our Rutabaga.

    I have a German Shepherd diagnosed with hip dysplasia and regretted not looking into pet insurance sooner. Another German Shepherd came into my household in November and I began researching pet insurance options. I narrowed it down to Spot and Embrace. However noting a vast difference, I appreciate the transparency Embrace offers, they will inform you within the month what will and will not be covered due to pre-existing conditions. Spot on the other hand will not until you present them with a claim.

    I want pet insurance for the peace of mind and security. After seeing so many reviews around insurance as a whole not paying out due to inflated pre-existing conditions (ex. a dog vomits, and now no GI issues will ever be covered), then paying into a policy for years and being denied from something I could've been told month one. That idea gives me the opposite of peace of mind. Additionally, I found Spot to be more expensive, for the same monthly price, the annual limit was less.

    When I got back the pre-existing report of what conditions will not be covered for my 7-year-old, I was initially disappointed with how some signs and symptoms were interpreted. Of course, I expected the hip dysplasia to make an appearance in that department. Though as others have said I noticed that a minor skin condition that went away without medical intervention was turned into an incurable, permanent concern.

    However, I'm so grateful to the Embrace team & specifically to Kyle ** for handling me with so much professionalism and patience. He helped me through the appeals process and stayed in contact with me, he reviewed all the what-if scenarios I could come up with in the event the appeal didn't go in my favor. The appeal was reviewed and resolved very quick and thankfully this one was overturned. I find them to be very fair with pre-existing conditions. No pet insurance would cover my pup, Lobo's hips dysplasia at this point. Above all I can appreciate the transparency into KNOWING what will or won't be covered.

    Embrace has been fantastic! They have made the claims process incredibly easy and streamlined. I don't think ANY claim we have ever submitted has taken more than 2-3 days to resolve and reimburse. Our Great Dane Stella suffered a spinal cord stroke and had several specialist visits, an MRI, and extensive physical therapy. Embrace has been wonderful in their handling of what was a very hard time four Stella and for us. Everything has been covered as advertised without a hitch. Stella can walk again due to her treatments and thanks to Embrace it hasn't been a financial burden on us. THANK YOU Embrace!

    We understood pre-existing conditions but over the next nine months anything they could say fit into those they did. Very frustrating! As a example, our pup had diarrhea because of something she ate; two months later she had diarrhea for a different reason and yet they boxed them in and paid nothing on it.

    We appreciate you sharing that feedback, John. 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 of the policy, and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. Our premiums are based on actuarial data of all the policies we have in force, and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. Over the lifetime with any pet insurance company you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase happens. 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.

    For a guarantee of coverage prior to a procedure or treatment, you do have the option for a pre-certification. We see you already spoke with one of our team members about the e-mails you received, but if you have any additional questions, you can email us at embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com and we can assist you further.

    In general, the people at Embrace are very nice to work with, fair-minded, and the reimbursements are more generous than what I'm used to getting from health insurance for humans! Sometimes their response times can be excruciatingly slow (recently, it took 4 months to settle a claim). And oftentimes you have to submit an appeal because they mis-categorize a type of treatment my dog received that is, in fact, covered by my policy. If you have patience, they generally get around to agreeing with your appeal, as long as it has grounds.

    Last but not least, the annual premiums jump quite a bit as dogs age. The older my dog gets, I have to weigh the expense/value of insurance against my dog's life expectancy. So I'm caught between a rock and a hard place...do I spend a lot for insurance I might not use? Or pay for costly insurance which covers treatment that might or might not improve quality of life for a senior pet?

At no point did any representative call me to explain the policy. I had made a call several days before I took my cat to the vet because THEIR WEBSITE WAS DOWN and I was not able to review the policy because of their failure to have the information available on-site, which they keep urging us to do.

    I chose Embrace Pet Insurance through the advice of a friend knowing that I needed coverage after spend $500 per month on medications for a senior dog of ours. First of all, they cover all preventative vaccines and Heartworm medication as part of the $500 coverage. Not expecting to use it so soon, the 2 year old pup we have insure started limping. I took him to the vet and X-rays were taken and found a torn CCL on the left hind leg. I submitted the claim and it was accepted and we were off to a K9 ortho surgeon for the repair.

    By the time we arrived at the surgeon we had met our injury and illness deductible set at $500 which isn’t hard to do at a vet's office. All we had to do was send in an itemized estimate for the surgery and it was approved. Embrace paid ALL BUT 10%. I am so grateful having this insurance, especially in this day.

    Reimbursement has been a problem, however there was never an issue prior to my deductible being paid in full. Every invoice that went towards my deductible was submitted and put towards the deductible, now that it is paid the last 4 claims have been submitted 5 times each, via email as well as being uploaded, but they "are not receiving them". Now that it is time to reimburse there is an issue. I pay monthly, on time, to you but you can not even extend the courtesy to refund me what is rightfully mine? I never had an issue with this company, for almost 3 years, but now I see why others do not recommend them.

    Hello, we are sorry to hear that. 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, and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. Our premiums are based on actuarial data, and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. Over the lifetime with any pet insurance company you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase happens.

    We are sorry to hear of your frustration with the claims process, Hugo. In order to process an accident or illness claim we do need your pet's complete medical history on file as our terms and conditions state:
    8. By purchasing a policy, you give us permission to gather all medical history for your Pet(s) from all your Veterinary Providers as we deem necessary. The medical information must contain detailed Veterinarian examination findings and must be made available to us for review to satisfy the examination requirement in PART II. item 1.

    Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer to process the first accident or illness 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. The good news is once the review has been completed, future claims will process much quicker and our standard processing time is 10-15 business days. We see an adjuster has reached out to you with an update on what additional information is needed. If you have any questions please reach out to us and we are happy to assist!

    Let me start by saying Embrace employees have always been very helpful and quick to reimburse any money refunded to me. I was happy with the coverage we had. I had Embrace insurance on my dog Lexi for almost her whole life, probably 5.5 yrs. A few months back I ran into some financial problems and couldn't make my payments so canceled my policy. Three months later I called to reinstate my policy and I was told I could only do it up to 2 months after cancelation. So I was able to sign back up with a new plan but now dealing with preexisting conditions not being covered that would have been before my canceling. In all the years I had Embrace coverage I paid religiously and my dog has been healthy enough that Embrace has not had to pay out much compared to what I paid in. I am disappointed that in today's economy they could not have been more forgiving and reinstated Lexis policy. It is disappointing.

That is up from $282.68 in 23' and $172 in 22'. I was told my premium will be guaranteed to increase a minimum of 25%-35% next renewal. My girl is 8.5 yrs old.

Cornell stepped in after our boy was given 6 months to live to help fight Embrace. They finally changed their minds. They said they only raise due to age not claims. Age is a factor because they are risky.

    Why are you giving me a HEALTHY CREDIT for my 8.5 year old if you are going to penalize us by raising our policy cost. Trying to make us cancel??? We can't go to another company, we are trapped with preexisting conditions and these companies know this so they can charge or raise prices as high as they want. This needs looked at.

    Hello Heather, we are sorry to hear that. We know a premium increase is not ideal. 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, and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. As you mentioned, the biggest factor impacting your premium increase is your pet's age. With each year a pet ages, they are statistically more likely to get sick or hurt, and we have to take that calculated risk into account when pricing premiums. Our premiums are based on actuarial data of all the policies we have in force, and the rates are filed and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. Over the lifetime with any pet insurance company you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase happens. 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.

    We are always looking for ways to reward policyholders with healthy pets who have little to no claims which is why we do have our reward program in place.

    At first, we were a little skeptical about getting pet insurance. We did the typical questions of “do we need it?” “How much will we actually use it?” And it only took once for us to realize we will never go without pet insurance again. Our puppy unfortunately had a seizure/stroke and had to be hospitalized for multiple nights and ultimately led to his passing, and the last thing we wanted to do was be stressed over the cost of it all. Luckily, we had the insurance for about 7-8 months and were able to file a claim and get almost all reimbursed. When having to call and ask questions, everyone was super nice and caring. When filing the claim itself, it took less than a week to get approved and have our funds back into our account. Although we lost our sweet baby, I have already recommended pet insurance to almost anyone I know, because you never know when you might need it, and the last thing you want to worry about amidst any problem with the animal is money.

    The key to pet insurance is understanding what pre-existing conditions your pet has and not expecting coverage for them. We only wish we had insured her sooner. Any injury our pet has had since has been covered in full, usually processed within a few days. Embrace has a lot of flexibility in pricing to meet anyone's budget.

    I had a problem removing coverage for a deceased pet (there's no way to do it from their website which is amazing to me). But I digress. Calling customer service required interaction with 3 people one of whom asked an insensitive question. I got angry and wrote a nasty post on FB. They contacted me immediately, and made things right immediately. So while the support experience was sub-par, they did what they could to fix it.

    I wish I could make this 0 stars. What a terrible and dishonest company. I should have spent more time doing research and not choosing based on the discount I received. They will not pay your claim. They will make it as painful as possible and will drag it out as long as they can to get you to give up. They will throw up roadblocks, ignore you, and ultimately find some weak loophole to deny your claim. We lost our dog recently, and very unexpectedly. She evidently had heart cancer of a type known to be a sudden killer. There was no evidence of this illness prior to us taking her to the vet due to a cough. We made medical decisions based on the fact we had insurance and were past our "waiting period".

    Embrace not only denied paying anything and left me holding a $5000 bill, but they made me relive the entire thing every time I was forced to deal with their awful adjusters over months and months. My dog has been seeing the same vet regularly for 10 years. We saw an emergency vet and a veterinary cardiologist. All of them stated that even if our dog had been seen a just week before her illness manifest, no one would have found it and it would have been too late by months anyway. Classifying her illness as "pre-existing" is laughable, and all three vets were shocked when told. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs. They are a terrible, unethical company. Shame on Embrace.

    Hello Kenneth, we are sorry to hear you had a negative experience. First and foremost we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your furry companion. We know that is a difficult thing to go through. We try to be as clear as possible about our exam requirements and pre-existing conditions which are in the policy terms and conditions: Part II 1. Your Pet must have been examined by a Veterinarian in the twelve (12) months prior to the Pet Original Start Date or within fourteen (14) days of the policy. Failure to do so will result in the illness waiting period being extended to the date of the first exam on file. This is also agreed upon when signing up for a policy and sent out as a reminder in your onboarding emails. By purchasing a policy, you give us permission to gather all medical history for your Pet(s) from all your Veterinary Providers as we deem necessary and we do need the complete medical history on file to process an accident or illness claim. The medical information must contain detailed Veterinarian examination findings and must be made available to us for review to satisfy the examination requirement in PART II. item 1. If you'd like to discuss this further, you can give us a call at 800-511-9172 and please know our thoughts are with you.

    Hello Armando, we are sorry to hear that. We understand a premium increase is not ideal. 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, and veterinary costs in the zip code where the pet resides. With each year a pet ages, they are statistically more likely to get sick or hurt, and we have to take that calculated risk into account when pricing premiums. Our premiums are based on actuarial data, and approved by each state’s Department of Insurance. Over the lifetime with any pet insurance company you are likely to see very similar trends, it just may vary when the increase happens.

    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. We see you already spoke with one of our team members, but if you have any additional questions, please give us call at 800-511-9172 and we’re happy to help!

Between our two dogs and 19 month old twins, we didn’t have the bandwidth to file claims as Finn got care. We were worried Embrace would give us a hard time about filing after his passing, but they were great to work with. My husband took care of uploading all the necessary documents, and they were approved quickly and paid in under 2 weeks. They also took care of removing Finn from our policy and issuing a prorated refund of our premiums without us having to separately ask. Support staff was courteous and responsive. We used to have Healthy Paws insurance but found them to be overpriced and harder to work with. I’m glad we switched before either dog got sick and needed major care.

This never happened, until very recently when the representative I spoke with immediately helped solve the issue (hopefully). I have never been so disappointed in a company and I would never recommend them!

    In addition to this, it is extremely difficult to get vet visits covered. The site is not great and you sometimes don’t know what to choose for the vet visit. If you have used an old school home vet in the past, who doesn’t keep records, don’t waste your time, the company wants proof of previous vets visits and there is no way to prove that, which I understand. Prior to getting insurance for my pets, I had switched to a more modern vet for over a year but I was never able to have any sort of reimbursement for vet appointments and ultimately with paying for this insurance and for vet visits, I ultimately paid a significant amount more.

    Embrace is Corrupt and Adds pre-existing conditions that will never covered to my dog even though the agent SPECIFICALLY confirmed they would be from a record and reviewed by, Senior Advisor, of call the day of my sign up with Embrace. My call with agent she confirmed upon sign up my dog's skin and paws would be covered, not a pre-existing condition. After my sign up and payment Embrace specifically said my dog's skin and paws are not covered even though she had no issues. Fraudulently added both as preexisting conditions, will never cover as doing opposite of what they confirmed and I would not be eligible at any other per insurance as Embrace has deemed my dog's skin and paws and ears as preexisting conditions. No remedy was made and no claims would ever be considered even after senior supervisor listened to call and confirmed.

    The agent clearly said my dog's skin and paws immediately covered and Embrace has received 2 years of payments from me. Never reimbursed treatments and fraudulently added my dog's skin and paws as a pre-existing condition. My dog should be covered 100% now as agreed to when I signed up and agreed to terms for full coverage as I have abided by all terms and conditions. Embrace said there would be no exception of covering my dog's skin and paws even though they said only her ears would be in a waiting period by the senior rep after agreeing she listen to the lengthy call and confirmed the Embrace agent said only my dog's skin and paws covered, as we went through specific examples.

    The Blatant breach and adding more areas of my dog that will never be covered is corrupt and Embrace committed fraud against me and would not remedy their deceptive selling technique. If Embrace specifically agreed to cover my dog's skin and paws and now her ears, and fraudulently said those areas will never be covered after I paid on time for over a year and increased my payment 35% for year 2 which I have paid, with no claims paid to me as my dog is generally healthy. The only remedy is for my dog to be 100% covered as told to me as I have complied but Embrace has fraudulently added preexisting conditions. I would have selected another insurance company to insure my dog if when asked during sign up if my dog's skin or paws would be a preexisting condition when it was very clearly just her ears, that now should be covered as well.

    In addition to increase my monthly payment by 35% is outrageous as I have been reimbursed $0.00. I can not go to another company as because Embrace fraudulently added my dog's skin, paws, and ears as a preexisting condition. Any new company will start from those records. Very dissatisfied with Embrace fraudulent actions, even though nice agents. The company is not ethical and deliberately corrupt in not covering what they specifically agreed to.

    I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding service and support. As a dedicated cat parent, ensuring the well-being of my feline companion, Baxter, is of utmost importance to me. Embrace Pet Insurance has played a crucial role in making this commitment a reality. My journey with Embrace began when I was researching pet insurance options for Baxter. After thorough consideration, I chose Embrace due to its reputation for comprehensive coverage and transparent policies. From the very beginning, the enrollment process was seamless and user-friendly, allowing me to customize a plan that suited Baxter’s needs.

    What truly sets Embrace apart is the exceptional customer service I have experienced. The team has consistently gone above and beyond to address any questions or concerns promptly and with genuine care. Whether it was clarifying coverage details, or helping with the claims process, I always felt supported and valued as a customer.

    One instance that stands out is when Baxter had an unexpected emergency swallowing some gauze. The stress of dealing with a sick pet was alleviated by Embrace's straightforward claims process. Submitting a claim was a breeze, and the reimbursement was processed efficiently, allowing me to focus on Baxter’s recovery without the added financial strain.

    Moreover, the coverage provided by Embrace has proven to be truly comprehensive. It's reassuring to know that I can make decisions about Basters healthcare based on what's best for him, rather than being limited by financial constraints. Embrace's commitment to transparency and clarity in their policies has made managing Whiskers' health a much smoother and less worrisome experience.

    In summary, my experience with Embrace Pet Insurance has been nothing short of exceptional. The peace of mind that comes with knowing Baxter is covered by a reliable and caring insurance provider is invaluable. Thank you for your dedication to pet health and for being a trusted partner in ensuring the well-being of our furry family members.

    Because my dog had vomiting during the waiting period, Embrace claims it is undiagnosed, and therefore considered a temporary pre-existing condition and therefore any claim that even mentions vomiting will not be covered. In order for this temporary condition to be removed, there must be zero claims involving vomit for 12 months uninterrupted. I think vomiting is probably the most common symptom that happens whenever a dog becomes sick, so essentially having this pre-existing condition will allow Embrace to deny practically all of my claims.

    My dog recently had a round of coughing, followed by antibiotics, and then later had coughing and difficulty breathing. I ended up taking to the urgent care where she was put on 24 hr oxygen. The physician had asked if she had vomited, and originally I said no as that was not a symptom that I was bringing her in for. I then remembered that she had vomited 4 days previously. The diagnosis was pneumonia, but the physician had included the statement about the vomiting and speculated that it COULD be aspiration pneumonia, or it could be unresolved from the earlier cough and sickness. Because vomiting was mentioned in the notes, Embrace denied my claim that was $4K+.

    This was in August, and now it is all over the news that there is a highly contagious, antibiotic resistant respiratory virus that is making dogs very sick and killing some. I think it is highly likely this is what made my dog sick. If insurance doesn’t cover an unanticipated illness like this, then what is the point of insurance? I’m in the process of trying to fight the claim denial, but I am so very highly disappointed with Embrace and how this has been handled. I will be telling anyone with a dog to avoid Embrace.

    Not worth the money. If I could rate lower I would. Don't let your animal get hurt during the first year. They'll deny your claim and say it's a preexisting condition. I'm out $ 7000.00 dollars cause my dog needed surgery. I should have listened to 3 veterinarians who said they wouldn't cover anything. My fault. They like to tell you they love animals and they're pet owners too, so what Jeffery Dahmer's neighbors used to say he was a good neighbor, quiet and polite but kept to himself. The only thing they care about is getting your premiums and getting their bonuses at the end of the year denying your claim.

    We are sorry to hear of your frustration with the claims process, Elidia. Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer to process the first accident or illness claim as we gather your pet’s complete medical history. Obtaining medical history is a process we are continuously working to improve. When new medical history is received it is reviewed by our adjusters who confirm if they have everything they need, and if additional information is needed we work directly with your vet and copy you on any email request to keep you in the loop. The good news is once your pet's medical history has been established, future claims tend to process much quicker and our standard processing time is 10-15 business days.

    Embrace asked for my review, so here it is: My dog has never been sick before; this is the first claim I’ve submitted and I’m very disappointed in this company.

I asked about how long it’s going to take for their review and the answer was 10-15 business days. So, the minimum time that I’ll be waiting for any reimbursement is 15 business days. Why does the review have to take weeks, especially with a 1.4 month old dog that has only been neutered and received shots at the vet, along with his exam.

    My 5-month-old puppy had one episode of diarrhea before I signed up for this insurance. However, due to a past diagnosis of Giardia, which was successfully treated, the insurance provider categorized it as a pre-existing condition. Consequently, they refuse to cover any vet expenses related to diarrhea. I've had an unfortunate experience dealing with this insurance company's unprofessional and unfriendly team. It's frustrating to encounter such a lack of clarity and cordiality. In my honest opinion, it's best to avoid them as they seem determined to deny any claim you make for your pet.

There is a 2 day accident waiting period, a 14 day illness waiting period, and a 6 month orthopedic waiting period for dogs. 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.

    We initially bought pet insurance for both our dogs. When you initially sign up for their insurance you have to have your vet sign an orthopedic waiver. We did that for both our dogs in 2020 and our younger dog had no orthopedic issues. Fast forward to 2023, and our older dog dies and I want to increase the coverage for our other dog in case something happens to him. Because I changed the policy, Embrace makes you wait another six months under their orthopedic period.

    During this time, our dog started to have a limp and I called to see what we could do. I was told about the orthopedic waiver at this time and was told I had to wait until 11/17/23 to even get an x-ray done. The rep told me that I could have a pre-cert form completed to see how much it would cost to have the x-ray. I called our vet and I HAD to have our vet examine him since he never had any issues in the past and she needed to see what was going on with him. I took him to the vet and she said an x-ray needed to be completed to see what was going on. She completed the pre-cert form and I sent it into Embrace.

    I waited almost three weeks and received an email from a claims adjuster who reported that since I had the pre-cert form completed and the vet stated he had a limp the x-ray wouldn't be covered. Even after 11/17/23. I explained this makes no sense because in order for him to get an x-ray I had to take him to the vet for the limp. I was under the assumption that the pre-cert form would allow us to get an x-ray done earlier than 11/17/23, but this was not explained to me. I asked the claims adjuster if I had just waited until 11/17/23 and then had the x-ray it would have then been covered and she said yes. The communication was awful and now they won't pay for the x-ray.

    After this fiasco, my husband and I decided to cancel our policy because we rarely take him to the vet and I'm not going to pay for insurance that won't even cover an x-ray. I feel deceived and lied to by their staff. They should have been more transparent with how they communicate especially when it comes to waiver periods and pre-existing conditions. What's incredibly frustrating is that the claims adjuster had one year worth of our dog's medical records which showed no previous limp and they still make you wait six months before you can the coverage you pay for.

    Hello Jessica, first and foremost we are sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet companion. We understand going through such a stressful time could make you re-evaluate your coverage to ensure your policy still fits your needs. When coverage is increased the waiting periods, including the six month orthopedic waiting period, reset and any conditions that occurred prior to the upgrade date or within the new waiting periods are then considered pre-existing and will not be eligible for coverage. We strive to be as clear and upfront as possible in regard to the terms and conditions of the policy and in order to make that change, we are required to receive confirmation from you that you understand and acknowledge the result of the change.

    Since we did receive that confirmation, we proceeded with fulfilling your request to increase the coverage. We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but we hope it helps provide some clarification in regard to our standard operating procedure. I see you already spoke with one of our team members about your concerns, but if you have any additional questions, please give us call at 800-511-9172 and we’re happy to help.

    Where do I begin... I got Embrace $15k coverage in the worst case scenario for both my cats. I did a ton of research and they provided dental illness, waived exams if you paid for it, and had a deal for multiple cats. The only red flags were several reviewers said they had a tendency to really exaggerate and define everything as a preexisting condition.

    Nothing happened for 3-4 months after receiving coverage. Then on a vet visit, my vet noticed my cat had loss weight. For my first vet visit claim, I found out they had never bothered to review my pet's medical records and proceeded to start adding ticky tacky "pre-existing conditions" which included something such as slightly dirty teeth now being an exclusion for dental diseases. I literally purchased them partially because they were one of the few companies that covered dental diseases. But apparently that has a massive asterisk to it.

    The best part about my first claim? It took 1.5 months for them to start telling me anything and only after I had to reach out to embrace and the vets because apparently they were just going to string me along until I did anything. So basically I paid them for 4.5 months only to find out they were going to start adding ineligibility.

    Flash forward to today 3 months from my first claim, I still haven't been paid yet. My cat is now dead. I am now finding out not only did they take 2.5 months to make their first decision on my pet's claim, they have suddenly reversed decision and telling me I'm not paying squat. Between dealing with my pet's health issues and death, I have to be the one constantly badgering the insurance company and reaching out to the vets to get information. Not only did I have to stress about my cat, I had to deal with this absolute dog poop of a company that has dragged its feet for anything just to screw me at every turn. I have spoken to probably 4 people at the company so far and I'm likely going to speak to a 5th. If you want an insurance company that will ultimately not pay you, expect you to do all the work yourself, try to put anything and everything as exclusionary, and just add stress to you while your pet is dying. Then yeah Embrace is for you.

    What a frigging scam. I'm canceling my other pet's insurance policy. I have 0 trust if anything happened with my other cats they wouldn't find a way to bend me over here too. Could not recommend a company less - end to end, just completely screwing me. I guess it's better I find out now, because apparently if my cat had gotten sick 5 years from now they would have told me after collecting 5 years of checks they would just absolutely screw me. What the actual hell. 0 stars if I could. People are right, set aside the money you need - you won't get screwed. Embrace definitely is prone to flagging everything as pre-existing. I'm appealing but I expect nothing and just more stress. Thanks for squat!

    First and foremost, Norman we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your furry companion. We know losing a loved one is not easy and having to follow up with us after that can be difficult. We want to be upfront about our coverage and 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.

    We do want you to have confidence in your policy, so we do offer a medical history review at the end of the 14 day illness waiting period which will let you know if there are any pre-existing exclusions or give you the all clear on coverage. If you do not opt to have this review done, then medical records are reviewed at the time of you first claim. Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer to process the first accident or illness claim as we gather your pet’s complete medical history. 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. You can always check the status of your claim on your MyEmbrace account at any time which will include if your claim is pending due to missing documentation. We see you are in communication with one of our team members , but if you have any additional questions in the meantime, please give us call at 800-511-9172 and we’re happy to help!

    I’ve had an Embrace Pet Insurance Policy for several years and every claim has been denied. Most recently I took my dog Perry to an Emergency Veterinary Clinic for what was ultimately diagnosed as “Idiopathic Vestibular Syndrome, a neurological disorder seen in senior dogs. Embrace denied this claim because blood work done during the visit showed the presence of “Azotemia” or Renal Disease, a pre-existing condition. In other words they used the presence of kidney disease to not pay the claim for his new neurological disorder which is totally unrelated. This would be like not paying for cancer care because of the presence of kidney disease. They are completely unethical and I would not recommend Embrace to anyone!

    Avoid Embrace! Embrace waited to finish my dog’s medical history review for over eight months. Embrace claimed they did not receive paperwork from the vet, but my vet claims they sent it. When the review was finally completed, Embrace provided inaccurate and unacceptable findings on my dog’s preexisting conditions. I immediately cancelled the policy and requested a refund for the months I paid with no services provided in exchange. From January 24 to October 30, 2023, Embrace provided no coverage and did not attempt to contact me, obtain records, or cancel the policy. Nonetheless, Embrace took my money and now refuses to refund me. Embrace has stolen my money and prevented me from obtaining meaningful insurance for my dog.

    It’s understandable that insurance companies follow their outlined procedures to the letter. However, Embrace almost always delays the claim by needling to ask the vet for further documentation. Even when the invoice is sent fully complete with taxes, and all payments listed, they need to ask the vet for more documentation. In this case the invoice was for a non-covered therapy, just to document a dental cleaning under anesthesia. But, still same issue, they need further “complete” invoice.

    I have NO IDEA how others are saying they've been having such a wonderful experience! I wish I could say the same! That was the idea when I purchased the pet insurance for my husky and mini Pomeranian, and sadly I've been let down multiple times. Their drop down menu for describing the reason for the vet visit is a fail. They couldn't wait to deny me for a "wellness exam" that they do not cover for them. Firstly, the visits were not wellness exams (for both dogs). And no matter how many times I call, nothing gets resolved. Then my Pomeranian has surgery and it's STILL pending an entire month later because of some documents from her first visit to the vet which I already submitted two weeks after I purchased the insurance, because Embrace has you make an appointment and submit those forms from that visit within a specific timeframe.

    Now all of a sudden they need these documents I know they already have. I am getting so frustrated with this company and I am starting to believe the positive reviews are not even real. I cannot be the only person this has happened to. These people are NEVER going to reimburse me for my pet's vet surgeries and visits. They make you wait through a waiting period because they don't want to get scammed, but what are they doing to me and my pets? Then paying them my hard earned money for free? So, I'm just paying this bill for no reason?

    Once a month I pay them money for them to play their insurance tactics to reduce, lag, deny, and reject my claims when I finally do need them to have my back? This is ridiculous and HORRIBLE. My next move is to write to the California Department of Insurance Claims Service Bureau. I do not believe this company ever plans on helping me, but merely hoping that I give up. I cannot STAND selfish companies like this. It's too much drama.

    I have insured three pets with Embrace. All of my pets were adults when I adopted them and by then each had their own pre-existing condition that I knew wouldn't be covered. But in spite of that, as my dogs entered their senior years, Embrace was always there for their regular wellness, for an accident one dog had that caused a dislocated hip, and the other ailments that came up in both dogs' geriatric years. But I have never had to ask myself if I should get a dental cleaning, or schedule a surgery, or take my dog to see a specialist, or have an MRI done because I knew I could submit the claim to Embrace.

    My dogs got the best care the doctors could provide, up until the very end of their lives. My cat is still enjoying the benefits of Embrace. And the peace of mind that I could rely on Embrace to process the claims quickly and efficiently helped me get through that uniquely special and heart-breaking late phase of each of my dogs' lives.

If you have USAA insurance you will be given a dedicated telephone number for USAA members, and the representative answers the phone quickly for personalized customer service. I highly recommend Embrace pet insurance.

    This company is more about data collection than insurance. I've had to submit more paperwork for my animals than I've ever had for myself. Currently I'm trying to get reimbursement on a vet visit for my dog. I've submitted everything that they have asked for 4-5 times and am still getting asked for more. At this point I don't think that they will ever pay.

    I have been with Embrace insurance for over three years with my first dog. I never had any issues when I filed a claim. I now have Embrace insurance with my new dog and I am very happy with it. The claims people that I worked with always explain everything in detail to me if I need it. I would recommend Embrace insurance with every new puppy that you get.

    I was a bit disappointed because when I first enrolled I was told that I wouldn’t have to worry about pre-existing conditions with any of my 3 pups due to the fact we started the policy on them when they were 8 weeks old, this wasn’t the case when I had to file. The request for paperwork from birth was required, that was not what I was first told. I was then told that if it was an emergency visit, which it was, the cost would be covered. Again that wasn’t the case! Items were not paid for because they were “regular” visit procedures. They WERE NOT done under a regular visit, it was all due to the emergency visit. Very disappointed because I was told one thing upon starting the 3 policies and then something else was done.

    Hello Kelley, we are sorry to hear you are disappointed with your policy. We see your claims were mostly covered aside from the items that are only eligible for coverage under our Wellness Rewards program which reimburses for things such as routine and preventative care as well as supplements since they are not an FDA approved prescribed medication. If you'd like to discuss the results of your claims further, feel free to give us a call at 800-511-9172 and we are happy to help!

    This is our first time using pet insurance and thus far it has been extremely frustrating. Our puppy had an emergency vet visit several months ago and the claim has still not been processed. We received the occasional email stating the need for more vet notes and details so I contacted our vet office several times to have the information sent over only to receive the same notice from Embrace a month later. I have tried asking for help via the app with no response. I finally spoke with a customer service representative and they were friendly but still unable to explain the issue. They stated that they needed information from further back and I explained that we had not even adopted our dog during those dates. I have heard good things about this company so I do hope they are able to do better in the future.

    We are sorry to hear of your frustration with the claims process, Sean. Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, sometimes it can take longer to process the first claim if there are accident or illness related charges as we gather your pet's complete medical history. 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. I see you recently reached out to us with an update on your pet's medical history and your claim has been processed. The good news is once your pet's medical history has has been established, the claims submission experience should be easier and more straightforward with our standard processing time being 10-15 business days. Always feel free to reach out to us at 800-511-9172 to check the status of a claim and we are happy to help!
