Regret Switching to Embrace Pet Insurance
I am a 20‑year USAA member and chose Embrace only because it was backed by USAA. That trust was misplaced. My experience has been nothing but frustration and obstruction.
My 7‑month‑old puppy broke her leg and required surgery. When I submitted the claim, Embrace denied it, citing a hidden “orthopedic form” requirement I had never been told about. How could anyone anticipate their puppy breaking a leg? That’s the whole point of insurance. Now I’m left with a $7,400 bill and no coverage.
On top of that, my claim for medication has been rejected multiple times. First they said the invoice was “not legible,” then later claimed it was missing my dog’s name. I resubmitted four times before getting this explanation.
I pay $350 a month and have had only one claim approved. The hoops Embrace makes customers jump through are unreasonable and feel designed to avoid paying legitimate claims.
I regret switching from Nationwide to Embrace, even with the so‑called USAA discount. This company has been a complete disappointment, and I will be reporting these practices to USAA.
Disgusted and regretful customer.
