Astronomical increases (1500%) but Good insurance
We had embrace for two of our dogs, about 11 years. I am very grateful we decided to get insurance for our 2 Great Danes. The claim reimbursement process is really fast and easy. There was one claim they denied, we spoke to them on it and they changed their mind. What I did not like (and I know all of us with all insurance can relate) is that my 2 dogs started with Accident & Illness plus Wellness for $75 for 2 dogs. Then as time went on the premiums would increase some years by 125%. Initially I canceled the Wellness to account for my budget and the increase. But year after year the increases were eye popping and if not at that 125% amount very close to it. I was so sad because we had paid for the insurance all of the years but finally with my one girl left they wanted to charge me $600 / month. I just could not afford it. So in the end, when I really needed insurance they astronomically raise my rates to get me to leave the plan (that's how I viewed it). Now that I am looking at getting another dog I am researching other companies. Had Embrace not done that at the end I would have used them for my new dog without question.
So again
Started at:
$75/month $800 deductible 80% reimbursement
2 Dogs Wellness, Accident & Illness
To:
2 Dogs with above Removed Wellness
Escalated over 8 years to $450 /month
Then: 1 dog passed
1 Dog with Accident & Illness
$600/ month (when I finally had to cancel my policy because I just could not afford it.)
2 dogs $75 ending with 1 dog $600
1500% increase in monthly premium (and removing the wellness benefit)
