Scam

It's a scam. They engage in predatory business practices. I signed up for this insurance. When one of my cats got sick and needed emergency treatment, I was so relieved that I had made the choice to get insurance... Until they denied the claim. They never responded to any of my e-mails, just sent vaguely-threatening "submit these unclear documents or else" automated e-mails. Then they denied my claim saying it was "pre-existing condition," even though it was not. Stay far away. They want to take your money, but they don't want to fulfill their responsibility when a claim arises.

Happy Customer

I couldn't be happier with MetLife. Little did I know that our 16 month old lab would end up with yeast and bacterial infections in his paws, followed by a serious ear infection. The vet was trying their best to find the right treatment to make Max better. We were at the vet weekly for awhile. MetLife paid for everything. Sometimes there was a little delay in getting them the doctor notes, but once in hand, everything was processed very quickly. Thank you!!

Satisfied with MetLife Pet Insurance

I have had MetLife for a few years now and it is easy to submit claims, I have always received answers in a timely manner and have never argued with any of their decisions, everything has been approved except for one small item and I understood that. MetLife has been a good company for my pets.

Easy to work with

When my sweet dog reached 8 years old, she was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, not only does this entail several blood work ups every year, but also a monthly medication that cost $90. I never had an issue submitting or being reimbursed for a claim. Metlife was always prompt with payment. When she was 10, I found out unexpectedly that she had an inoperable brain tumor. I chose to not have her suffer and had her put to sleep and cremated. The staff was so kind when I called with questions. I submitted the paperwork, and they did need additional paperwork, but they were prompt once I sent it. They were very understanding. I would definitely insure future pets through MetLife.
