The only reason I’m not giving Embrace 0 stars is because the sign up process was easy, and I was able to get only a 14 day delay after submitting my Vet’s exam before the orthopedic portion of the policy became active. My dog has no preexisting conditions nor did I submit any claims during the policy year. Then I get a renewal notice that my policy is going up over 50%. I’ve cancelled Embrace. I’m updating my comment based on the Embrace reply. If I modify my coverage further, it’s definitely not worth having. The Embrace reply is the standard language all pet insurance companies give everyone. I’ve contacted the State of Maryland department that handles pet insurance in the past and was told they can’t do much to deny the rates as the paperwork these pet insurance companies submit to justify their rate and claim decisions is hard for the State to argue against. Not a lot of State resources to deal with pet insurance these days.

Embrace pet insurance gives me peace of mind. I can take my Westie to the doctor and not pay an arm and a leg for medical bills. The process for submitting claims is user-friendly.

Embrace is a scam

In January of 2024 I got Embrace pet insurance for my dog, after he had knee surgery on his left knee. The policy stated that there would be a 6-month waiting period before any orthopedic claims could be made. They requested and received in February of 2024 my vet records clearly showing he had knee surgery. In February of 2025 my dog required surgery on his right knee, it was over the 6-month waiting period, so I submitted the invoice. After 5 weeks they said it was a preexisting condition and sent a list of other issues that would not be covered. At no point in the year since they had his medical records did they send me a note that his left leg had anything to do with his right leg. I bought the insurance for peace of mind - they should have said once they got his records what they considered a preexisting condition. I would have shopped elsewhere for insurance. This is not only poor business practice but fraudulent since they had the information about his left leg operation over a year ago.
