Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

Embrace is easy filing, & a quick refund is made. I especially enjoy the very helpful and patient people when you call to inquire about how to do it or what to expect. Very helpful and very patient. Thank you so very much!

Embrace takes great care to make sure you have the best insurance for your baby. The wellness program will repay you in claims. You will have peace of mind when an emergency comes.

DISHEARTENED BY THE SENIOR PENALITY AFTER 9 YEARS OF LOYALTY. As Dakota has aged, our premium has doubled with no leeway provided. What is most shocking is that our total premium for 2025 ended up being higher than the total amount that embrace actually paid out for her care. it's disheartening to feel that after nearly a deade of sonsistent payments we are being priced out just as our dog enters her senior years and needs the protection most. The financial jump is simply unreasonable for non-term customers.

I’ve had Embrace for almost 8 years and I can’t begin to find the words to describe how much I appreciate them! There have been some issues with my GSP (Cooper) over the years with allergies, a couple surgeries and some fairly expensive Vet visits. In all of the years and claims (and there have been many), Embrace has always been there for Cooper and I! They’ve always gone “above and beyond”! The turn around on the pay time frame is exceptional. I put two claims in on 3/6/2026 and received emails on 3/7/2026 stating they were approved. With all of my animals, I’ve never had pet insurance, but since I was retired when I got Cooper, it seemed like a good idea to have some coverage on him. Little did I know or even begin to imagine how fortunate I have been with Embrace. It’s my mission to tell everyone that will listen about Embrace Pet Insurance and have received many thanks from my “pet owner” friends for recommending Embrace!

I’ve purchased pet insurance for the past 5 years for 3 different dogs… I’ve had polices with Spot, Pets Best, Embrace, and Fetch, and Embrace has THE most predatory contract language I’ve EVER seen! It’s extremely vague so it can be interpreted to benefit the company… which in itself is normal practice for insurance companies to protect against fraud… however, Embrace routinely EXPLOITS that vague jargon to deny LEGITIMATE claims, which is something only predatory companies do! Seriously READ through their BBB complaints before you even think about buying a policy through them! Embrace will use ANY excuse possible to deny claims as preexisting or congenital/hereditary, even against the word of the EXAMINING and/or treating veterinarians… if your pet has ANY vague symptom documented (ie a one time incident of vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose, inflamed skin, etc) in their past medical records Embrace adjusters WILL link those past symptoms to their current condition somehow, even if your vet outright states they’re not related… mark my words! I purchased a one year policy from Embrace for one of our puppies and paid for the entire year up front… luckily I saw how horrible they are first hand (we only submitted 2 total claims, both to only count against the annual deductible w no reimbursement requests and it took over 2 months to process, getting one denial and one partial reimbursement and I RAN) and switched to a better company as soon as renewal time came! I consider myself lucky they showed me who they were before any harm was done… our puppy was < 1 year old when we got that policy and we ended up getting another puppy a year later and thankfully knew to stay far away from Embrace. However, a couple months ago our (young adult) daughter purchased a policy through embrace for a senior shelter dog she adopted, and as soon as she told me where she got it I made her cancel immediately and purchase a Pets Best policy instead! It’s lucky she did, because months later they finally completed the “medical review” she requested upon purchase (guess they didn’t realize she had canceled the policy), and that language was even MORE predatory than their general contract language if you can believe it! The way Embrace’s medical review was worded would’ve made it possible to deny ANY claim they wanted to! Seriously, she might as well have purchased an accident only policy at that point because her “illness” policy was absolute GARBAGE… she thanked us profusely after seeing that and said she’d tell all her friends to stay away from embrace too. Also… as for their alleged high payout rate, don’t forget they include PARTIAL reimbursements! It’s yet another shady practice of theirs. But if you submit a claim for a $5,000 ER visit and they pay the $80 examination fee and deny the rest, I really don’t think the fact they covered that one small fee will be much comfort now will it? Ask what their FULL reimbursement % is, I guarantee it’s probably a FRACTION of their partial payout rate. STAY AWAY from this predatory company!! Because if you still choose them after reading our reviews (and rumor has it they have embrace employees write good reviews too btw, read BBB complaints/reviews) and get ripped off then it’s on you. Embrace is as shady as insurance gets! Go with Pets Best, Spot, or Fetch…I’ve had all three and they’re ALL way more trustworthy!! Spot’s the best as far as customer satisfaction, but they’re also one of the most expensive… Pets Best is the best compromise between affordability and customer satisfaction, imo.
