Easy to use

I filed a claim for an emergency visit and it was easy, communication was great and basically after submission and one request for more information with review, I received a claim approval.

Great Pet Insurance

I have tried other pet insurance companies before and they were mediocre compared to my experience with MetLife. The claims process is flawless, the coverage is excellent and the customer service is wonderful. I highly recommend this company. You will be surprised at how efficient this company is.

Claim Response

I have had Met Life Pet Insurance for Riley since he was 6 months old. He has always had issues with his allergies condition and any claims that I submitted to MetLife were paid within a month at most after I sent them into their claims department. Their representatives always called for any clarifications that they needed on the claims and my vet's invoices were approved and paid to me after I had paid the vet up front.

Works for me!

I got Polly pet insurance a few weeks after I got her. What I didn’t realize was how often we would be going to the vet. French bulldogs have a lot of health issues and I happened to fall in love with one who has very bad stomach issues. She has been on prescription dog food, has had ear infections, etc etc. although my deductible too a while to hit, I am finally being reimbursed- and it’s great to know I have MetLife to fall back on. Dogs are just like another part of the family, and insurance is imperative for these four legged babies. I am beyond happy with my choice and will continue my services next year.

Terrible

Terrible. They claimed my dog throwing up once was a "preexisting condition" and refused to cover his hospital stay for pancreatitis. My policy was in effect several days before the hospital stay. I'm disputing the claim but I will absolutely be switching pet insurance providers.
