Love MetLife!

I currently have 5 standard poodles with MetLife Pet Insurance, and have had my policies for several years. I have been very happy with MetLife, and have had all of my claims paid for over the last several years. The length of time for reimbursement on illness claims has increased, but all have been settled within 30 days or less. My wellness claims are reimbursed within a week usually. I have had several different pet insurance policies over the last 12 years and MetLife is my favorite, so far.

Great Coverage, Especially for Multiple Dogs

Very happy with my MetLife Pet Insurance coverage. It is great that we can cover both dogs with a single plan that means we reach the deductible more quickly and can make the most of the benefits. I haven't had any issues with claims being denied even though one dog had to have some pretty serious surgery. Claim processing has been a bit slower than they said it would be, but overall, I've been pleased with their service.

Very Poor Company

MetLife denied my claim for vet recommended testing costing $2488 for my new rescue dog. MetLife sent me a short note saying my dog's issue was pre-existing based on notes prior to my taking in the rescue. I had received no information on the dog, purchased MetLife before my first vet visit but they found information from the previous owner's vet (that I did not have when I purchased the insurance) and refused my claim.

Will deny expensive claims

I rescued another dog in 2024. Received no information so purchased MetLife Pet Insurance before any vet visits. Visits went to my deductible. My vet received vet notes from prior owner and I submitted everything. My vet recommended tests for an issue that cost $2488. MetLife let me pay down on my deductible but when this would go into reimbursement, MetLife denied the claim saying "pre-existing". They can, and will, claim anything expensive as pre-existing in order to not pay out.
