Pleasantly surprised

I was very hesitant to get pet insurance, but after having a poodle that lived to be 18, I decided it would be the best idea with our new Chihuahua. After reviewing the other insurances out there, I did the math and Embrace with 10% co-pay and a $200 deductible seemed to pay for itself with only 3-4 vet visits per year. I also added the Wellness plan, it's like getting $50 back free. Plus they have a lot of nice reviews and only one bad one that I could find. I received an email telling me that I needed a vet's exam to start the insurance coverage, so I thought "Oh boy, here goes! This is the FINE PRINT!" So I took Nutmeg in, and had the vet fill out the forms, as well as give her 2nd puppy shots. I submitted it, thinking that they would kick it back, because it was the initial exam. But to my surprise, they paid the entire thing! Quickly and with nice sincere emails that did not seem to be forms, but really written by a human. We'll see how it goes in the future, but they are starting out great.

True (and efficient) customer service.

We just had our female bulldog puppy spayed. Our policy with Embrace includes 'wellness' coverage, which provides $200 annual benefits for $180 in premiums. This was our first claim experience with Embrace, and included a policy adjustment (health insurance discount after spay or neuter). Both the claim reimbursement and the policy/premium adjustment were handled with perfect efficiency, including correspondence to ensure satisfactory handling before, during, and after processing. That sort of customer service is rare in my experience lately. Good work Embrace!

Stayed In Touch

Embrace stayed in touch about my claims and records review. They answered my emails within 24 hours and provided very helpful information. Coverage for the claim was as stated in their policy and all was processed in a very timely way and professional manner. I recommend Embrace to anyone who asks me.

dont waste your time and money

I bought this policy after reading some of the comments here. Got the coverage and thought it was great when they paid my dog's wellness claim. But then a week before his 'waiting' period was up my dog jumped off the deck (20" high). He didnt seem injured at first but the next day he didnt jump up on the bed or on his stool. I took him for x-rays and although they showed no signs of any injury other than a sprain his claim was denied. Apparently you have to have the vet fill out a report card and I didnt do that until he was having x-rays. Since I submitted the report card with my claim, his injury was deemed pre-existing. Not only this claim but now he also cannot have any other claims for similar injuries. So I canceled this insurance and have purchased another company who realize that my pet isnt perfect and that I may have to actually make a claim.

First claim was painless

When I came home to find our dog holding one eye closed, I immediately took him to the emergency vet. The last thing on my mind was filing a claim. Four days later, after more vet visits and minor surgery to correct the issue, it occurred to me that we had insured him for just these times. I was pleasantly surprised at how effortless it was to file a claim and how promptly we received our money. I would strongly recommend your company to other pet owners.
