Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

We just signed up for Embrace for our pet. I had a few questions, so called and was sent to an agent (Jody) who answered all of my questions. I had to confer with my spouse, but I called Jody back with a few more that he answered. We signed up and it is giving me piece of mind.

Excellent customer service. Agent was knowledgeable took time to answer all my questions prices were good

Good at first. But so difficult to connect with customer service. I need log-in help, otherwise I would refer to the app. Called twice and waited too long. I'll have to call again. Hopefully without a long wait.

I like the claim process. It is straight forward and easy, with a quick return in my bank account. They are helpful over the phone. I took away 1 star, because more often than not, I have issues with the website. It will give me an error before starting a claim and sometimes in the middle of submitting a claim. This happens about 75% of the time. I called the number on the website, and they were unable to fix the problem (pretty much just wanted me to try a different browser), but emailed me a way to still submit the claim. I waited a few days and was able to use the online claim service. I don't know if there are website issues during high traffic times, but it is extremely frustrating.

⭐ Review: Embrace Pet Insurance via USAA – A Cautionary Tale I used to trust Embrace through USAA. They were once top-rated, scoring 4.6 or higher, and I believed they offered real protection for my pets. But that trust unraveled quickly. One day, my pug was in excruciating pain—screaming when I tried to touch him. I rushed him to the vet. Bloodwork didn’t reveal the issue, so we did an x-ray. That’s when we finally found the problem. I submitted the claim to Embrace, expecting support. Instead, they denied it, calling it a “pre-existing condition.” How could it be pre-existing when I didn’t even know it existed until the x-ray? Their six-month orthopedic waiting period is a trap. It punishes pet owners for seeking answers and forces pets to suffer unless you wait out their arbitrary timeline. I appealed. They denied it again. This isn’t just poor service—it’s a system that gaslights pet owners and dismisses urgent care as a technicality. And now they’re sending marketing emails asking me to come back. No thanks. I’ll never trust them again.
