Easy to work with

I like working with the Embrace Pet Insurance adjusters and team. They are easy to talk to via email and on the phone.

predictable insurance at a good price

With my previous dog, I had VPI insurance, and was extremely dissatisfied with it. The reimbursements were arbitrary and pitifully small, and the rate increases after she had several claims were enormous. So, I dropped the insurance when she was about 3 years old, and paid out of pocket for her rest of her life. With my current dog, I’ve signed up with Embrace pet insurance, and so far I’m very pleased. The reimbursements are totally predictable (you choose the percent of the bill to be paid, based on your premium level and annual deductible), and they promise not to increase rates based on any claims that you make. That doesn’t mean rates won’t ever increase… they do allow for increases based on age of the dog and inflation… but it does mean that if my dog has 3 claims in a year, her premium rate won’t double or triple at the next renewal, like they did with VPI. So far I’m very happy with Embrace, and anticipate staying with them for the life of my dog.

The customer service is Purrfect!

We have many pets, and put off buying pet insurance for years because it seemed so overwhelming. When it came time to make a decision, the people at Embrace were very patient answering all of our questions. We decided to purchase insurance with Embrace, and have been pleased with their customer service. Recently one of our cats had an emergency situation with a blocked urethra and required several nights stay in the ER as well as daytime care at the vets office. At the same time one of other cats hurt his paw. All of our claims were processed efficiently and timely!

Better than my Dental Insurance.

I wish that I hadn't had to file some claims, but that is what the policy is there for.Eventually, all pet owners face a crisis with their animals and sometimes waiting even twelve hours can make a difference in the outcome. I did not hesitate knowing that I had a policy in place with no preexisting conditions. One little glitch, but quickly and easily corrected with one phone call to the company representative. Checks were quickly mailed out and it will help with the overall veterinary bill. I really didn't know if Embrace would out since this was my first claim in five years. I have had poor experiences with another insurance company, but I am so glad that I went with Embrace back in 2010. Please pay attention to the fine print like deductibles and exclusions when looking at different insurance products.

Thank you for making this so easy for me!

My dog has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. I am so glad i have pet insurance, or i probably would have had to put my dog (who is my life) to sleep. I have to take her in weekly ($50-$60 a visit, and i live paycheck to paycheck), until they figure out how much insulin my dog needs every day. It is sooo frustrating.I appreciate that embrace allows me to take a picture of my claim and e-mail it to them, right from my phone. That is all i have to do. I then get a follow up with all claims. Thank you embrace! I wouldnt have my dog anymore, if it weren't for you!
