MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

I’ve submitted 3 claims in the past year and it easy to submit them online and I received my payment pretty quick. Customer service has been great as well.

My pup had to have eye surgery to remove his eye. I called to see if they cover this procedure and hey told me that it would be covered and that put my mind at ease. The people at Met Life were quick to respond and very courteous. The claim was reimbursed quickly. Would recommend this company for all your fur-babies. Thank you, Met Life for taking care of Andy.

I have nothing but great things to say about MetLife pet insurance. I have 6 dogs all insured with MetLife. It's easy to submit claims and they pay quickly even when the claim is large (TPLO surgery) and to date have approved all claims. I couldn't be happier with MetLife only wish I had signed up years ago.

The wait time to start the plan was a little long and I had to follow up to make sure it was active and the first claim took a bit longer because I had to set up the process to receive the funds but after that all other claims were processed quickly and the payments were very quick. All communication has been great. I would have given a 5 if the customer onboarding was a bit better.

There was a near-death experience for my 4-year-old cat in January. I was fortunate to have planned ahead buying insurance for him. I regret buying it through MetLife. In order to verify coverage and the timing of claim settlement, I contacted MetLife and was told that that filing claims was simple, and that payments would be processed promptly. After nearly three months, I have finally got his $5,000 claim payment. The app gave the impression of being both user-friendly and informative at first; after all, it informed me that my claim had been granted and that my funds would be paid within days. On the first contact, there was some misunderstanding and the person gave the vague instructions to "check my mailbox" because they were unsure of where the payment had gone. Following a second contact, I was informed that additional documentation from his visit was required, which I promptly provided. On the third attempt, I was informed that the vet had made a mistake in his record regarding the timing of his last vaccine, even though he was experiencing an acute pancreatic episode. I was told to submit more paperwork that day to clear things up. The next call confirmed that the last instructions were in error and that the funds were en route. The next call was to clarify that it would take 45 days for the appeal to be reviewed. On top of the $10,000 vet cost, I have already paid about $400 in interest. The app provides inaccurate information and requires persistent follow-up, which significantly prolongs the claim process. It is their carelessness that has caused all of this, so I wish they would pay my interest charges. This has the potential to completely devastate someone's life.
