MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

I have submitted claims for my Golden Retriever Dixie multiple times for ear infections, and a broken tooth which she needed surgery. Submitted claim the bill and the Dr's notes, and was paid every time in about two to three weeks. Never had one problem Met life. They paid 100% with a $250 deductable for the year. If you follow instructions on your claim you will be paid. It's best to take out the unlimited policy with them.

MetLife pet insurance is a scam. I first had them in march of 2024 and filed my first claim taking my dog to check for ear infection but got denied because in Feb 2023 when spayed vet checked ears and needed cleaning wasn’t treated for infection in Feb but because had vet checked ears that was considered pre existing issue. I canceled policy however in August I signed back up . In April 2025 I took dog in the have ears checked and no infection just gave wash for ears but guess what it got denied saying pre existing condition dates back to 2024. I will never do business with MetLife and I suggest to anyone find another provider who cares and doesn’t deny for something that wasn’t diagnosed and then to deny a year later saying pre existing. Dogs get things like humans do we get ear infections etc but we don’t get denied by our insurance for something that wasn’t diagnosed a year ago as pre existing. Beware as I spoke to both representative and manager who told me I had to go through this appeal process and have my vet also write something. They are not helpful and manager I spoke to Dianna shouldn’t be a manager. I’m going with another provider who will care about my dog and the fact that I pay my bill monthly. Companies like met life shouldn’t be in pet insurance

My company moved from Nationwide to MetLife this year and it has been a AWFUL experience. Its been 1 month since I filed my claim and I weekly get emails of them asking for more information on a simple straight forward short vet visit. They have medical records, charts, receipts and continue to ask for something new each week. No one has ever been available in their "Chat" online feature. Some how my plan is more expensive and the coverage is nonexistent. Would not recommend to a friend. The only reason Im giving a star is because the lady that set up my plan initially was very nice on the phone. It was all down hill from there though.

Hello, I have MetLife Pet Insurance for over a Year now, for my 3 Jack Russell's, I have nothing but good experiences with MetLife Insurance, the first year we got Odie and Koba( puppies), all claims were reimbursed almost $5000 the first years, was quick and easy and YES they made ask for Vet Notes with is no big deal Vet will provided it for you. I will definitely recommend this Pet Insurance to Pet Owners

Very pleased with this insurance. We have had health issues with our puppy since we got him at 4 months and MetLife has been excellent with paying almost all of our claims in a timely manner. I have had to provide some additional information from our vet on occasion but now I know what to ask for before we leave the vets office. I am also just learning about the 60 to 90 day rule about submitting a claim which they do not make you aware of up front. Otherwise pleased with overall service and would recommend this insurance.
