Hands down EMBRACE is the BEST!

We have been with embrace since 2010 and I am beyond SO ETERNALLY grateful for this amazing company and family! Without them, I’d never have be able to afford to give my 4lb tea cup yorkie (little angel in a doggy body) an amazing life that every pet and animal deserve. When I got 8 week old Bella my mom told me to get pet insurance. Hands down, Embrace seemed like the best across the board. They were clear on their annual cap and reimbursement percentage per claim so that’s who I went with. I would have never expected to need to them as soon as I did when Bella was viciously attacked at just 3 months old. Without Embrace, I wouldn’t have been able to afford Bella’s life saving ER care after the owner (of the white Malamute which was off a leash while she rollerbladed) took off leaving me with not just a disheartened heart in humanity, but also left me with a hefty medical bill followed by a year of intense home health care, medication, re-integration therapy, and doctor visits for Bella. Embrace annual fee is worth every single penny!

I was paying them 2 years. But once I had a claim - they rejected it

My dog has damaged her leg. We went to an urgent care and did an X-Ray. Embrace Pet Insurance said they need a medical history from that urgent care. I never been to that urgent care before so we had no history there. Embrace said it will take longer time to process. And they never paid the claim off. Why do I pay them if they don't do their job? I regret that I was paying them for 2 years.

Unethical Business Practices

People should be aware of the way Embrace does business. Here is some context: My dog is 6ish- I got insurance for her about 4 years ago. She has no preexisting conditions, is not on any medication, and I have never filed a claim with Embrace. The premium for the first year of coverage was low (for my dog, it was $33 for the year). The second year it went up 30% to $43/month. The third year (2020) , it went up 95%. Yep, you read that right. My new premium was $85 a month- my reimbursement rate was 80% and my deductible was $750 with a max payout of $10k. The company sent out a letter claiming that they apologized for such a large increase in premiums, that they had their book of business reviewed by actuaries and needed to make adjustments. (I would be willing to bet that a lot of other people have received this letter... but at different times, not just 2020- some 2 year customers problably got theirs this year) I increased my deductible and lowered my reimbursement rate so I could afford the premium which I got down to $63 a month. This year, they have increased my premium again 24%, up to $78.30. I cannot make my deductible any higher, but I did lower my reimbursement rate, once again to get it back down to $62.00 a month. If I got to the Embrace website and request a quote as a new customer, I get a quote of $33 a month. The same rate I had as a first year customer... strange. The company blames everything but themselves when you complain about the premiums: the state you live in, how the Department Insurance doesn't set caps, etc. They know what they're doing is shady. I really hope people will stay away from Embrace. If this review deters just ONE person from buying a policy with them, I consider taking the time to write this, a win.
