Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

We are the owner's of Annie, a beautiful 3 1/2 year old Golden Retriever. We have owned a number of Goldens but had never taken out pet insurance. After extensive study of the many offerings on the market, we chose Embrace because of their extensive coverage including hip displacia, a common ailment with Goldens. Since then, we've had a number of claims (no displacia!), all of which have been more than satisfactorily resolved by Embrace. Their response time is quick (usually within 48 hours of receipt of notice from our vet) and always with a complete explanation. Further, in our communications, there is a personal touch. They like animals! Most recently, Annie suffered an accidental tear of her ACL necessitating surgery and a long recovery. The total cost ran into several thousand dollars. She is still under doctor's care but Embrace has already reimbursed us for our claims. Our vet tells us that most of their customers complain bitterly about the treatment they receive from their insurance companies. They marvel at the positive response we've received from Embrace. We are so grateful to have this coverage and unreservedly recommend Embrace to anyone looking for pet insurance. Sharon and Larry Sargent

I too have changed over from VPI insurance. I guess VPI uses the money they save on reimbursement to advertise and so they are well known.My older dog was covered under VPI and I was very disappointed with the reimbursements. I'm sure had I just started a savings with my policy payments I would have come out ahead! After putting my first dog down. (She was very old)I got a new puppy. We got her from a shelter at 8 weeks and 2 days from getting her she came down with parvo. Fortunately, the shelter fee included a 30 day policy for shelter dogs. Her treatment was mostly covered. I had already signed up for Embrace before she came down with Parvo but was still in the waiting period. She now has some periodic bouts with GI bacterial imbalances and I have used the embrace policy to cover her vet visits. Everyone at embrace has been so wonderful. The communication is great. They send an email when they get the claim, when they process the claim and also when they send the payment. With VPI I had to hunt them down and usually call several times to get answers to my questions. Bottom line is the payments back are better then the others!! I tell all my friends to get embrace!

As we face a rare lymphoma diagnosis in our 2 year old German Shepherd Dog, the immediate response by Embrace Insurance to our claim at least made the very difficult and sad situation one where we did not have to fight for reimbursement. Embrace Pet Insurance was extremely prompt. I am very thankful for the service as well as the coverage, though I would prefer never having to use it!

I am new to Embrace. I was hesitant to purchase pet insurance because I had a bad experience with a competitor, VPI. I signed up for insurance and routine wellness benefits on October 15 with Embrace. My Malti-Poo had a wellness exam on October 18. I faxed the claim for wellness benefits on the 18th and have already received notice that the refund has been approved. There is no set schedule to follow for wellness benefits. This is very unique! Their customer service is amazing and far superior! I am very glad I made the decision to select Embrace. I wish I knew of their existence sooner.

I submitted wellness claims for my three dogs and within a week have my refund. Excellent customer service.
