Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

I've only submitted two claims to Embrace so far, but each have been reviewed in well under two weeks (more like a couple days). The company e-mails me when they receive my claim, and then again with their decision. Their customer service is great when I need to call, and of course when they e-mail. They seem to know what they're doing, and actually care about your pets. It doesn't feel like they're trying to "cheat" you. It was made perfectly clear to me that any pre-existing problems documented in my pet's record would not be covered, and that was understandable. They cover any breed-specific conditions, which a lot of companies won't (Example - Cocker Spaniels are prone to ear infections). I love Embrace, and although I (fortunately) haven't had to make a large claim with them yet, I feel like I am getting my money's worth and am confident that should a large claim situation arise, Embrace will be there to help me.

I simply cannot say enough about this company! If only humans could have this level of customer service, care, premium cost and compensation! Our dog was abandoned and 'walked' into our life with no collar and underweight. We hadn't had a dog in 10 years and I had no idea of current costs. At the dog park there were several people talking about their experience with pet insurance companies,(I had never heard of it), so I researched AT LEAST 7 companies, compared rates but was sold when I called Embrace. I spoke to a 'live person' who answered questions I didn't even know I had until she started informing me of all they offered. Kodo (mixed Rotty & ?) developed an allergy that involved many visits to the vet within the first few months of coverage and they covered it so well. But the most surprising and most AMAZING fact is they are also covering Kodo's accupuncture treatments!!! He has a possible torn ACL and after researching all the pros & cons of surgery, I knew there had to be another way. I found a terrific new, ultra-forwarding thinking vet whose methods are working without surgery. I was concerned Embrace wouldn't cover the charges and was worried how to fit these treatments into our budget but that isn't a concern anymore!!! I am so confident in Kodo's coverage that a lot of stress has been alleviated. I wish Embrace would advertise more or at least send out promo material to every vet they receive a claim from. I talk about them everywhere there are animals and owners! We chose the premium coverage & it is still less than a tank of gas for my vehicle! You can't receive better insurance anywhere else.

Working with Embrace has been one of the most pleasant experiences I've had with any business. Our bulldog developed a severe limp when he was only 11 months old and after consulting with a couple of orthopedic specialists, came to the conclusion that he would need to undergo surgery to repair a patellar luxation (make sure you get a second opinion...the first surgeon wanted to do some exotic TPLO surgery to fix a cruciate that turned out to be perfectly intact). After surgery (which went very well) we submitted our claim for the initial X-ray with our regular vet, the consult with the surgeon we went with, and for the surgery itself. The claim took a little while (~2 months) to process, but that was entirely due to the delay in getting detailed records from the different providers. Embrace kept me in the loop the entire step of the way about what additional items they still needed and how I could help in getting them, and ultimately the claim was accepted - very fair and transparent. Can't say enough about how customer-oriented and caring they are. While I hope not to have to submit another claim for our boy, it makes it much easier knowing that we have a policy with such a great company.

When my 15 month old was diagnosed with luxating patella, I was shocked. When I had the consultation and got the bill I was devistated. The doctor told me my insurance would more than likely not cover it. I did my footwork anyway, and Embrace kept me posted almost daily on what they needed from me, and what would be left to do. It brought me to tears when my puppy's surgery was authorized. I am eternally grateful for the financial load they lifted off my shoulders. That left me with the ability to focus on my pet. They even asked for pictures so they could see my puppies! I really felt like they cared about my puppy, and when surgery was done, I got an email with well wishes. They are top notch, and amazing.

We are very pleased with Embrace. Previously we has VPI pet insurance. When we made a claim with VPI the amount we received was much less than we had expected. In the last month we made two claims one for Enteritis and one for a Urinary Tract infection. The Enteritis claims was processed right away and we were very pleased with the amount we received. The second claim is being reviewed at this time. When we had VPI if a claim was denied that was it they would not take a second look at it. Embrace is willing to work with the pet parent. Embrace is an excellant company for any pet parent.
