A very happy customer

I've had Embrace for both my dogs for a few years now, and have always had an easy time with claims. Now one of my dogs has Cushing's Disease, which requires a lot of testing and treatment. I'm astounded at the incredibly fast turnaround of claims, the easy access of agents, and the kindness and thoughtfulness of everyone I've dealt with at Embrace. It's wonderful to know that I can afford to get treatment for my precious pet thanks to insurance. I'm recommending Embrace to all my pet-owning friends.

Made a bad situation better

I was grateful that I had an Embrace policy for our little rescued Boston terrier. She was diagnosed with a tumor near her ear drum and after surgery, suffered a life-threatening artery rupture requiring a stay in the veterinary hospital. I submitted my claims and Embrace immediately responded and sent a reimbursement check. Very impressive. They continued to follow up to make sure I had received the check and to inquire about the continuing recovery of my little friend.

As promised... though not quite as expected

My dog has a recurring ear infection for which we've repeatedly seen a vet. I knew that medications weren't covered by my particular policy, but I did not realize that that includes not only prescriptions but all shots and drugs given at the vet's office. Basically, the only things reimbursed are the actual visits and procedures. Other than that, service is excellent: I get emails to acknowledge receipt of my claims, and reimbursements are given quickly and without a fuss.

Great benefit plans, even better customer service

We had previously been using Pets Best for our cat 3-year-old Evie. I chose it based on price and the fairly good reviews it received on here. They seemed better than what I had heard about with the big name ones, like VPI, but Pets Best's deductible structure sucked. It was a per-incident deductible (like car insurance), so the reimbursement was rarely worth it (unless you jacked up your premium to lower your deductible). Ex: We had a biopsy done that cost $600. After the deductible and 20% copay, I got back roughly $300, which was a little less than what I paid annually in premiums. If it were an annual deductible, I wouldn't mind eating that because I'd be set for the rest of the year. But I felt like I was pouring money into a hole and was intent on finding a pet insurance plan with an 80/20 reimbursement, annual deductible and decent customer service. I thought there couldn't possibly be a provider that met these requirements (they're all in this to make money and this is a bit of a boutique industry, right? why would they structure it actually pay out generously on claims??) until I read the reviews on here and looked more into Embrace. It's all true - they're awesome. The annual deductible makes a big, big difference. I just met mine after a blood test and exam, so it's a huge relief to know that if anything else comes up that requires a trip to the vet (or the ER), I've paid my fair share into the system and will be compensated appropriately.
