Best decision I’ve made
The wait time to start the plan was a little long and I had to follow up to make sure it was active and the first claim took a bit longer because I had to set up the process to receive the funds but after that all other claims were processed quickly and the payments were very quick. All communication has been great. I would have given a 5 if the customer onboarding was a bit better.

METLIFE HORROR STORY
There was a near-death experience for my 4-year-old cat in January. I was fortunate to have planned ahead buying insurance for him. I regret buying it through MetLife. In order to verify coverage and the timing of claim settlement, I contacted MetLife and was told that that filing claims was simple, and that payments would be processed promptly. After nearly three months, I have finally got his $5,000 claim payment. The app gave the impression of being both user-friendly and informative at first; after all, it informed me that my claim had been granted and that my funds would be paid within days. On the first contact, there was some misunderstanding and the person gave the vague instructions to "check my mailbox" because they were unsure of where the payment had gone. Following a second contact, I was informed that additional documentation from his visit was required, which I promptly provided. On the third attempt, I was informed that the vet had made a mistake in his record regarding the timing of his last vaccine, even though he was experiencing an acute pancreatic episode. I was told to submit more paperwork that day to clear things up. The next call confirmed that the last instructions were in error and that the funds were en route. The next call was to clarify that it would take 45 days for the appeal to be reviewed. On top of the $10,000 vet cost, I have already paid about $400 in interest. The app provides inaccurate information and requires persistent follow-up, which significantly prolongs the claim process. It is their carelessness that has caused all of this, so I wish they would pay my interest charges. This has the potential to completely devastate someone's life.

Thank You Healthy Paws!
We have a beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is our best buddy and a bundle of unconditional love and joy. However, he is a bit of a troublemaker and has found himself in need of vet care from time to time. He recently had surgery and Healthy Paws made the claims process very easy. They also reached out to ask how he was doing. I don't know what we'd do without Healthy Paws - Thanks you!

Extended Waiting Period with MetLife Pet Insurance
It's been 15 business days since I submitted my claim to MetLife Pet Insurance, and yet it remains unresolved. My initial optimism upon enrolling in MetLife's pet insurance has been overshadowed by a frustrating experience with their claims process. At the outset, I was led to believe that claims would be processed within 5-10 days—a timeframe that seemed reasonable. However, I later discovered that this duration specifically refers to business days, a crucial detail omitted during enrollment. This lack of clarity left me feeling confused and increasingly frustrated. Furthermore, when attempting to file a claim for my pet, who had not required veterinary care in the past year, I encountered another obstacle. MetLife's requirement for a complete medical history spanning the previous 12 months was not communicated upfront, resulting in additional delays and complications. Contacting customer service for assistance yielded little empathy or support. Instead, I was informed that an extra 3-5 business days would be necessary to process the claim under these circumstances. Consequently, what should have been a straightforward process has stretched into a waiting game nearing 30 days. Such inefficiency is unacceptable, particularly concerning the health and well-being of our beloved pets. Enduring an extended wait without clarity on the claim's status is undeniably frustrating and stressful for any pet owner. In light of this disappointing experience, I have made the decision to sever ties with MetLife Pet Insurance. I cannot justify investing in a service that fails to fulfill its promises and lacks transparency in its operations. For prospective pet insurance customers, I strongly caution against choosing MetLife. Instead, I recommend exploring alternatives such as Nationwide Pet Insurance, which is reputed for its prompt and straightforward claim process. Learn from my mistake and select a provider that prioritizes efficiency and customer satisfaction. In conclusion, MetLife Pet Insurance's protracted claims process and inadequate customer service have left me deeply dissatisfied. Proceed with caution, as the frustration and disappointment may outweigh any potential benefits.

Denied ALL claims
I am leaving a negative review for this pet insurance due to them denying all claims submitted for my baby boy Lucas. He is a Frenchie who gets into everything. His vet suspects he got into cat poop and as we have several feral cats around the block, it seems reasonable he did. The vet recommended insurance as he said this breed is very subjectable to parasites (giardia is what he was diagnosed with). He was treated for this several times, getting better, then re-infecting himself. We had to stop letting him out and be himself due to our concern he would get sick again. He was also eating his poop, which of course did not help. But, he's a Frenchie so we went with the flow and advise of what we could do to address it. Finally decided to get him insurance. He starts getting sick again, giardia was the diagnosis along with coccidia. Treated him and he is now better. The 4 claims that I submitted were all denied due to his condition being deemed "pre-existing". It's not cancer! He did not have liver problems! How is this pre-existing if he gets better and then gets into things he shouldn't (accidental if you ask me). I read other reviews on Instagram and people share the same issues with this company. Also, please be advised I personally submitted my baby's medical records as I received emails from the company indicating they reached out to the vet and did not get a response. When I checked with the Vet, they indicated they received no such request. I personally submitted the records, then received an email weeks later, stating they were waiting for records from the vet. This is crazy! I canceled my policy as the cost for the insurance, is half my vet bill. Just be careful when shopping for insurance, not just because the price is good, does it mean they will provide you adequate service.

PETS BEST s/b named PETS WORST
I had several dogs and always buy insurance. Pets Best is worst one. It;s takes them forever handle the claims and they reject without valid reason. No wonder so many people complaint to BBB. I purchased insurance for 3 Year dog on 9/26 and on October 3 she got ear infection. Claim was denied as preexisting condition. Another claims in 2024 also denied because of the same reason. I will report their practice to BBB

Healthy Paws incredible service!
I wanted to leave a review because this is truly the best pet insurance company I have ever had. They not only are personable, but reliable and caring, you are not another number. If you are looking for an insurance that you can count on for timely, responses and caring individuals behind the scenes, this is it. I would recommend Healthy Paws to all my friends and family members over any other out there. My dog recently had TPLO surgery and I submitted the claim, within 24 hours I was surprised and grateful to see the automatic payment in my account. Not only that, but they followed up to see how my girl was doing after her surgery. Thank you to all the people at Healthy Paws you have been truly awesome!
