Disappointed
I am disappointed with Trupanion's service. I bought the insurance for my cat at beginning of 2024. I provoded all of her Vet record with their request. About 2 month ago, they emailed me requested the record during 04-2022 to 09-2023 otherwise they may affect my future claim, I email back stated that my cat was very healthy and I was busy with family issues so my cat did not go to any vet in that time. I requested them to confirm if this is OK for my cat to continue the insurance for future claims. I did not get response. I sent two more emails to follow up within 2 months however there is no any response! I am disappointed with they are keeping me pay monthly but do not provide the simple answer by 'Yes or No'.

Excellent care and customer service
Can’t say enough good things about the exceptional customer service, the ease of filing claims, the quick response time, and the coverage. Thank you very much!
Fantastic
This has been the best purchase as a pet owner I could have made. The first year it covered itself. My dog is 2 and recently had a bad experience. The bill was an unexpected $1700. Right after Christmas AND a needing a new oven. 😂. MetLife pays fast! Typically within 7 days. Their Customer Service is amazing and our fur babies have great care. I will always choose my pet over, well pretty much everything, but makes the stress less, especially when worrying about their care, that I can still play the mortgage after an unexpected vet bill!

This is a warning from a member with 4 pets over 10+ years
This is a warning from a member with 4 pets over 10+ years I have been a menber with Nationwide pet insurance when it used to be VPI pet insurance. I had a plan that was grandfathered in which was 90% covered with no CAP (this means no matter the treatment they covered the full cost) They tried to push me out by raising the cost the that plan year after year so I played ball with them and dropped it down to 70% covered with no CAP. They always stress to insure the animal since they were a puppy or kitten so everything can be covered through their life without any exempt. So this year they decided to write me that they are canceling my policy becuase the cost to them are too high to cover his plan even though they havent offered this plan in over 7 years and I was grandfathered in. I was told they will move me to the 70% plan and a 10k cap so if my animals had any thing serious over 10k i had to put the money up. Or other wise I can go kick rocks. Even though I have been paying over 10 years of premiums for 4 animals and they were so selfesh and could wait maybe another 5 years until all the grandfathered customer fur babies passed and crossed the rainbow bridge. Instead this $60.3 billion dollar in sales for 2024 company decided to be selfish and not cover and honor the pet plans they gave customers. Its really sad and disgusting that they used the phrase they are loosing money as an excuse to hurt theese animals. I will say over the past 10 years nationwide has been amazing with quick payouts and customer service. But that dose not fix how they handled this selfish situation.

Tooth Extraction
My 4-year-old dog had a broken tooth on the upper right side, which required surgery. I submitted the claim to PetsBest immediately after the procedure. The following week, I received an email with a coverage explanation, confirming that 50% of my expenses were covered. Just a few days later, I received the reimbursement. Overall, it was a great experience!
Our kitten Bagel
We had to put my husband's "soulmate" cat to sleep earlier this year. He had been lost without him and our other 2 cats were not stepping up to fill his paws…. Enter this tiny orange ball of purrs…. It was love at first sight! It has been a longtime since we had an actual kitten, but some of the memories of what Holy terrors they can be led us to the search for an insurance company and plan. We decided on Pets Best accident and illness coverage ….little did we know that our little Bagel was going to need that sooner rather than later!! Pets Best was excellent from the ease of filing a claim, to communication with Bagel's Dr and us. The claim took a couple of weeks to settle, but holidays were involved, but after our deductible we received 90% of our total bill directly in our bank account! We hope we don't ever need to file a claim again,but if we do we know we are covered! Bagel is thriving and Pets Best helped us make that happen! "
OUTSTANDING - 10+ stars if I could!
This insurance company actually has heart and a passion (clearly) for customer service. I can't say enough amazing things about them. They are efficient, SPEEDY payments on claims (usually same week!), thoughtful, caring, explain everything easily and the rates are great. They have literally saved my cats life, we have had to use the insurance quite a few times in the last couple of years, if it wasn't for them, there is no way I could have afforded to care for her. Now... she's 11 and in great shape! Happy, playful herself again for many years to come. THANK YOU EMBRACE for everything you, from start to finish, consistently for years!

Extremely Easy
I've had to make 2 claims for my dog in the past 15 months. Each time I simply went onto the Pets Best website, opened a new claim, uploaded the applicable document(s) from my vet, and hit submit....took all of about 5 minutes. A few days later I received an email from Pets Best notifying me of their decision, and how much money I would receive in reimbursement. Too easy.
Pet's Best Helped Me Save My Service Dog
Over the last year, I have had to deal with Copper Storage Disease with my 8-year-old yellow lab that is a service dog. She holds a special place in my heart and we have been a team for over 5 years. With her diagnosis came a lot of unknowns and treatment plans that were overwhelming. One thing I did not have to worry about was the bills. Submitting them to Pets Best was simple. And they paid according to the plan benefits. I am thankful for Pets Best and have recommended them to friends and family. Thank you Pets Best for being part of the care team that saved my service dog's life!
This is a scam
I submitted my puppy's emergency vet claim on December 8, 2024, and since then, I have contacted MetLife daily, only to receive inconsistent answers regarding the status and processing time of my claim. Their app and website misleadingly state that processing takes 5 to 10 days, but it's clear that this is far from the truth, as I have received no updates after that period. My dog had a follow-up appointment and is due for another one, but I cannot afford this additional cost while MetLife holds $2,200 of my emergency funds. This situation is unacceptable, and I am deeply frustrated with what appears to be a scam. I am concerned that when they finally review my claim—likely in six months—they will deny it altogether. I expected better from this insurance, especially since I pay my premium automatically through my employer. At this point, my only option is to wait the official 30 days and then escalate this matter to the State of Michigan and pursue legal action if necessary.
