Unexpected severe price hikes
I had insured my rottweiler mix for 4 years with Embrace, and never filed a claim. Each year, my premium went up by 12-17%, which is expected. The 5th year, my premium went up by 35%! I was on an auto renewal plan. I looked on their website, which listed an email address to contact with complaints. I emailed that address 3 days before my auto-renew. I didn't hear anything back. They withdrew the annual premium from my bank account. When I called several days later after seeing the withdrawal from my bank account, they told me they had no idea what email address I was talking about; I had to tell them where it was listed on their own website. They said they never got my email. They did refund my premium when I said I was cancelling. They said that the price hike was because of my dog getting older, and that they'd adjusted their prices due to market changes. But 35% is crazy! My policy went from six hundred and change per year to nine hundred dollars per year in one jump. If you use them, look very carefully at your bills.
