MetLife Pet Insurance is the Best

Hello, We've had to use MetLife for a few injuries or illnesses for two of our fur-people kids. One had knee surgery that cost several thousand out-of-pocket. MetLife covered the procedure and paid-out in a matter of a few weeks. The online process is straightforward and their Customer Service is superlative. Thank You!

Good insurance

I’ve had good experiences with MetLife Pet ins. It’s easy to submit a claim and I always hear back within a few days. Their price is good also compared to what I was paying with a different company

Very pleased with Metlife claim processing

They do require quite a bit of paperwork from the vet, but it was worth it to me in the processing of paperwork for a back problem my Dachshund, Wally, had which lasted almost a month - but he is now all well, thanks to meds and advice from my vet. My policy has a zero deductible with a 90% reimbursement if the claim is approved. Wally's claim WAS approved, and I received 90% of what all I paid to my vet. It appeared in my on line bank statement this morning, so I would recommend Metlife.

Great Pet Insurance!

MetLife did an awesome job processing my claims and reimbursing me any money that I paid out of pocket. But please keep in mind 1: You have to pay out of pocket the day of the visit. 2: the claiming process states 5-10 business days for processing but takes more like 15-20 business days (just have some patience). 3: Having a pet is expensive so have a rainy day fund just in case. Other than that the customer service representatives are amazing and very understanding. You get what you pay for so a good tip: Don’t pay for a cheaper premium plan. Pay for a more expensive one so you’re not paying so much out of pocket during your pet visits. The reimbursement will come in handy later on so you don’t feel like your pockets are completely empty.

What happened to good old fashion customer service in our country?

MetLife pet insurance is the worst. It takes forever to get paid on a claim. As soon as i get my money back I will be finding another pet insurance co. Their customer service is lacking, and it takes FOREVER for them to answer the phone. On two separate instances they have misplaced our claim and had to start all over. What's the most important thing about a pet insurance company? Reimbursement. They should be ashamed of themselves for taking almost 6 weeks to pay a $650.00 claim. Never again. NEVER AGAIN!!! They sure have the part about withdrawing from your bank account every month down to perfection.
