RUN! DO NOT BUY this pet insurance

I’ve had a profoundly disappointing experience with MetLife Pet Insurance and I want to save others from the same frustration. On paper, the coverage looks great, and the marketing hype is strong—but the reality of actually using the insurance is completely different. Whenever I have submitted a claim, MetLife seems to default to denying it, frequently citing "pre-existing conditions" for issues that are clearly not pre-existing. It feels like they are looking for any excuse to avoid payment rather than supporting the health of my pet. The claims and appeals process is an absolute disaster. When you do have to file an appeal, you are entering a black hole. They don’t provide confirmation when they receive your documents, so you’re left wondering if your appeal was lost or simply being ignored. The process is incredibly long and arduous, forcing you to do all the heavy lifting to prove their own mistakes wrong. I am essentially paying for a service that refuses to fulfill its end of the bargain when I actually need it. If you’re looking for peace of mind, look elsewhere. This has been nothing but a headache and a waste of money. Do yourself and your pet a favor and find a more transparent and reliable provider.

It was very simple registering my dog for insurance.

Very simple process and seems like a very good insurance.

Fast reimbursement

Very easy now that the account for my pet is set up. Very fast turnaround. Was reimbursed for preventative meds within 48 hours of turning it in.
