Filing Claims is awful, request excesive amount of information for small things
My company moved from Nationwide to MetLife this year and it has been a AWFUL experience. Its been 1 month since I filed my claim and I weekly get emails of them asking for more information on a simple straight forward short vet visit. They have medical records, charts, receipts and continue to ask for something new each week. No one has ever been available in their "Chat" online feature. Some how my plan is more expensive and the coverage is nonexistent. Would not recommend to a friend. The only reason Im giving a star is because the lady that set up my plan initially was very nice on the phone. It was all down hill from there though.

MetLife Pet Insurance
Very pleased with this insurance. We have had health issues with our puppy since we got him at 4 months and MetLife has been excellent with paying almost all of our claims in a timely manner. I have had to provide some additional information from our vet on occasion but now I know what to ask for before we leave the vets office. I am also just learning about the 60 to 90 day rule about submitting a claim which they do not make you aware of up front. Otherwise pleased with overall service and would recommend this insurance.

Horrible Filing Claims
I had met life for over a year and insured my 4 cats under them. In that one year I went to file a single claim for $148 for my cat who had an eye infection. My vet is amazing and this is not a review on my vet they are amazing. They gave me the typical sheet that they print out with all the costs and breakdown of the treatment. I took a picture and uploaded it to met life. They denied my claim stating they need a doctor's written notes on them, which the vet office has never heard of. The chart was very straight forward they examined my cat's eye, did a stain to check for scratches, and gave me antibiotics. I tried re-uploading it, denied again. The vet office does not have any other paperwork to give me then what they gave me. Will never use this again, I was paying over $120 a month to keep this pet insurance and have a good deductible and am completely over it.

Metlife pet insurance is the worst
Metlife will endlessly ask for records over and over. They will call your vet asking for the same records that they have already received 100 times over. No matter how many times you submit them. They continue to stall in hopes that you will just give up. Metlife is the worst. Don't waste your time and money.

Fabulous
Easy to submit and great communication during claims. They were so kind. Our guy ended up passing away with bone cancer and they were so compassionate. Quick response and payout for all claims. No hassle, great service. We have had 3 policies and no compalints only excellent service.

Basically, No Admin Time!
I have two dogs, one with severe allergies. MetLife makes it SUPER EASY to submit claims. I never need to track, follow up or worry about coverage. One less thing "to follow up on" is fantastic.

Disappointing Experience
I’ve been paying over $120 a month for insurance on my two dogs, and unfortunately, my experience has been incredibly disappointing. My dog, Emmie, has had some mild itching, and when I submitted a claim, I was told it was considered a pre-existing condition due to “year-round” itching. However, I explained that this was caused by a shampoo issue with her groomer, and after changing shampoos, the problem cleared up.
I called and did an appeal, and even had the vet write a letter explaining that there was no diagnosis of a skin condition and that this should not be considered a pre-existing issue. Despite all this, they still denied the claim. They did pay for her food at first but then reprocessed the claim after I asked why they weren't covering her allergy medication—and ended up denying the food too.

They make it hard to approve claims
First of all, they take forever to process a claim. On top of that, they will ask all sorts of history and soap paperwork. They make it hard for you and eventually deny the claim. Will NOT recommend.
