    Lemonade pet insurance is extremely expensive when you consider you are dealing with an AI agent 90% of the time. My dog was recently diagnosed with Cushings disease after several years of testing for Cushings disease and having normal test results however Lemonade is still considering the Cushings a “pre-existing condition” in spite of him having years worth of blood tests showing normal results while covered by their policy. Their reasoning? His ALP liver levels have been rising over the last 5-6 years (which happens often in older dogs with no disease or illness, according to my vet). So in reality, they’ve denied my dogs new illness because they’ve decided he must have had it before (in spite of several tests proving otherwise during his coverage period). Do yourself a favor and get a pet insurance company that actually pays humans to review claims and doesn’t just run things through AI.

    Lemonade finds any reason NOT to cover a claim. My dog had ACL surgery on her right leg in August, we then got pet insurance because we didn't want anything like that to happen again. In March she tore her left ACL so now they won't cover it because they consider it a pre existing illness, lol. That's like telling me because you have something wrong with your right arm then your left arm is going to go out too. 🤣🤣 What a SCAM!! DO not get pet insurance from them, save your money.

    Response from Lemonade Pet Insurance

    Most pet insurers treat cruciate/ACL conditions as bilateral, meaning an injury to one knee can make the other knee considered related and therefore pre‑existing for coverage purposes, even if it happens later.

    If you email help@lemonade.com with your claim number, we can review the decision with you and confirm whether any waiting periods, medical records, or policy terms might change the outcome.

    My experience with their claims department was terrible service, they requested records never ordered them I had to. I wrote to them three times. No response other than to tell me they received my email and they are reviewing my dogs claim. As of this writing I still have not heard a word on my claim, been about 2 plus weeks. If you buy pet insurance buy it for major illness or accident only, not everyday services. That is a rip off. They will add pre-existing conditions whenever they can and they limit your benefits payable as much as they can.

    If you took your pet to the vet for any reason before getting insurance don’t bother. They will deny your claim if you take them back years later with symptoms even slightly similar and call it pre existing on set even if they never had a diagnoses. Because I took my cat in for accidents outside the litter box they seemingly won’t cover any urinary issues in the end. They’ll use any vague prior symptoms to deny your claim.

    I signed up for the most expensive plan to ensure my pet is covered $1600 a year plan. Chookie is a 7-month-old kitten. Once I submitted the first claim (blood test, check up) Lemonade dragged me back and forth, continuously asking for documents which were all the same but they wanted them in different versions. And of course said to us through email that we are not eligible for coverage (refund)! Lemonade is a fraud. Do not buy this insurance! I simply will not claim anything anymore since it simply isn't worth the headache.

    The only way to file a claim is with their completely AI and bot-driven app. There is no other secure method offered to submit a claim. There is also no human to contact, just more bots. The app forces you to record your voice and/or video. Lemonade offers no security to ensure your voice or face is used without your permission; this is how identities are stolen. Due to these security concerns, and no other options available, I cancelled the claim. Complete waste of your time and money.

    I have used Lemonade 3 times. My puppy is only 8 months. My 3rd vet visit was a sick visit, very simple, no blood tests, x-rays. Just an injection. I laid out quite a bit of money. Lemonade said they needed some more information from the vet and as of today, the 4th business day they still have failed to contact my vets office or reimburse me. I asked to speak to a manager and escalate this, however there is nobody to speak with. It will take another 24-48 hours to hear from someone. It’s been very frustrating.

    I am giving Lemonade a one star because of how they abuse their pricing renewals. Second year, my costs went up over 20%. I just received the renewal for 2026 and it went up 43%!! They provided a boiler plate response about inflation, etc. The fact is, they are abusing the trust of their customers. I thought Lemonade was a better option but turns out they only care about their pockets. Do your research and find a company that won't take advantage of pet owner's love for their fur babies.

    DO NOT get your dog or cat Lemonade Pet Insurance. It is cheap for a reason and you truly get what you pay for. I have been with Lemonade since 2019 and have had to fight them repeatedly for payouts over the years. What happened this week with one of my cats was the last straw. I filed a formal complaint with the California Department of Insurance and submitted all of my documentation for review. Lemonade Pet Insurance has started another medical history review for this cat even though they already completed one five months ago and already have his full records.

    This time they contacted twelve different veterinary offices. Many of these clinics are for my other cats or for my dog who sees multiple specialists. Some clinics are closed. Some have never treated this cat. None of them have any records that relate to this claim. I am now receiving calls from confused veterinarians who are asking why Lemonade Pet Insurance is reaching out to them, and several expressed concern once I explained what was happening. This pattern of delays, unnecessary requests, and improper handling is exactly why I filed a complaint. Pet parents, please research carefully before choosing Lemonade Pet Insurance.
