MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

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.

I am incredibly disappointed with MetLife’s pet insurance service, particularly their customer service and claims process. I attempted to file a claim for my cat, providing all requested documents, but their app repeatedly flagged missing information, delaying my claim without clear guidance. When I contacted customer support to clarify, I was told I needed a “benefit document” from my previous pet insurance provider. This requirement is unreasonable and poorly communicated for several reasons: I am no longer a customer of my previous insurer, making it extremely difficult to obtain such documents. MetLife never mentioned this requirement when I switched to their policy, leaving me blindsided. If MetLife were my first pet insurance provider, would I be unable to file a claim simply because I lack a prior insurer? This policy feels designed to obstruct claims. The customer service team offered no solutions, and their app is frustratingly unreliable. This experience has been the worst I’ve encountered with any insurance provider. MetLife’s lack of transparency and poor treatment of customers has left me deeply dissatisfied. I will not use any MetLife products again and strongly caution others against choosing their pet insurance.

Horrible. They take their time to process your claim. Customer Support doesn't care or help with your claim. They clearly offer 5 to 10 days to process claims but somewhere withing your policy it says 30 days, where you can't see it. To me they offer time frame that they are not in compliance with. Submitted my claim on 4/2/2025.

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.

Ive been very pleased with the claims I have sent to the insurance for Karlie. They have really helped me afford her upkeep on her health and dental care.
