Best Pet Insurance

I have had dogs all my life and have gotten insurance for them. By far, this is the best insurance to date. Starting a claim is super easy and my reimbursement goes right into her account. Yes, she has her own account so I can track how expensive she is :) Also, if you need to speak with a person, they are always very courteous and knowledgeable. I am not sure how anyone can give this company only a rating of 2. Some people just expect entirely too much from everything in life. Met Life will give you good value for your money and protection for your pet. Their rates of reimbursement are also much more comprehensive than other companies I have dealt with. I recommend them to all my friends with fur babies.

Great Experience

I’ve submitted 3 claims in the past year and it easy to submit them online and I received my payment pretty quick. Customer service has been great as well.

Great Insurance...

My pup had to have eye surgery to remove his eye. I called to see if they cover this procedure and hey told me that it would be covered and that put my mind at ease. The people at Met Life were quick to respond and very courteous. The claim was reimbursed quickly. Would recommend this company for all your fur-babies. Thank you, Met Life for taking care of Andy.

Awesome job

I have nothing but great things to say about MetLife pet insurance. I have 6 dogs all insured with MetLife. It's easy to submit claims and they pay quickly even when the claim is large (TPLO surgery) and to date have approved all claims. I couldn't be happier with MetLife only wish I had signed up years ago.

Don't do what they advertise

I made a total of 3 claims since paying over $1000 for my annual policy when I got my puppy. Only one of the claims, which is was very simple, processed in the 10 day window they claim on their website. I had to call to ask them to process one of them after 14 days and will now have to do the same for my third claim. There is no other way to get a response outside of calling. The live chat on their website is never open, even within their stated operating hours. They do not respond to emails or inquiries submitted using the contact form. They do not appear to have enough staff to operate according to their stated procedures. To their credit anyone I have spoken with by calling has been very helpful. EDIT: The person I spoke with today verified that complicated claims often take up to 15 days and that the policy fine print states up to 30 although that is very rare. Now that I know this, I can adjust my expectations and stop wasting my time calling. The company should change the website to reflect actual practices. There is no point in stating a 10 day window online if it's not true. Likewise, there is no point in having a "live chat" or email option if they are not functional. Pretending to offer what you do not reflects a lack of transparency and fosters mistrust. EDIT, response to company: I've already given clear feedback here and in multiple emails to you that you ignored. There is no mystery. If you want more of my time, you'll need to pay me.
