MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

thank you working well happy thanksgiving

I did not understand of the language. It says up to three pets it should be specified that you are talking about dogs and cats. I have a breaded dragon also.

Very easy to apply

I would strongly discourage anyone from using MetLife Pet Insurance. I insured my cat Leo with their illness & injury plan in June 2024. A few months later, he was diagnosed with GI lymphoma after an ultrasound, endoscopy, and biopsies. MetLife has denied almost every claim related to his cancer treatment – including advanced diagnostics, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, emergency hospitalizations, and oncology follow-ups – by labeling everything as a “pre-existing condition” because he had occasional vomiting before the policy started. Even after we provided full medical records and filed an appeal, MetLife upheld the denial using a single sentence from a July 2024 vet note and treated all later cancer care as excluded. When we tried to appeal the newer 2025 denials (including thousands of dollars in chemo and emergency care), MetLife refused to even review them, saying we had missed a 90-day deadline. Their own appeal form says we “may request a second review” within 90 days or as reasonably practicable after receiving the denial, but they still shut the door on us. We have paid many thousands of dollars out of pocket while believing we were covered for exactly this kind of catastrophic illness. The way MetLife has handled our case feels misleading, rigid, and deeply unfair – especially to pet owners who buy insurance specifically to protect their animals and families in situations like this.

Thank you so much
