Embrace | Pet Insurance Review

We added a Saint Bernard puppy to our family almost a year ago and discussed purchasing insurance. I did a little research and came across Embrace. Having a "giant breed" dog, I knew we were probably going to be looking at potential problems as she aged. In December, I chose Embrace because I thought they would be a good match since they would cover genetic conditions, unlike some of the others. Little did I know how soon we would be encountering problems. A few weeks after taking out our policy, our puppy had her first real "playdate" and began encountering obvious pain later that night. A few days later she was scheduled for sedation for another minor procedure and her vet recommened x-rays of her hips while we were there. The results were devastating-bilateral hip dysplasia in our 10-month old baby. We were told she wouldn't be able to walk by the time she was 2. Fast forward to now-she has already had a triple pelvic osteotomy on one of her hips (which was not cheap) at a specialty facility more than 100 miles from home and is recovering beautifully! Embrace has been absolutely wonderful during this process. They have processed our claims in a timely manner and their customer service has been very pleasant to work with. I would recommend Embrace to anyone considering insurance for their pets. Thanks to Embrace, our "big" puppy now has a chance of living a normal life!

Dobie is a 6 year old terrier mix who managed to rupture a disk in his back. Injury happened on/about Jan. 22. I had full coverage reimbursement, final check on March 2!! Dobie needed back/spinal surgery and you just can't go to the doc down the street for that. We ended up at the Vet Neuro Center......and of course the best and most expensive place in town. Dobie has a puppy mill rescue sister and breaking in a new buddy was just not in our plan so we got Dobie fixed, and they did an excellent job. The "Embracers" checked on us via email regularly (which is right up my busy alley) and did an outstanding job in caring for us and paying our claim. Dobie is out of claim money for the year, but promises to behave until at least next year.

Embrace does a really great job of following up with you to make sure you get everything in they need to get you started filing claims. Sounds great right?!?! Too bad they will not cover anything that could REMOTELY relate to any treatment given to your pet prior to your policy with them. So, if your pet has taken an allergy pill before they will not cover any subsequent allergy problems. Don't fall for it like I did!

I switched from VPI to Embrace after VPI refused to insure my year old Aussie because of IBD. Though his condition is excluded, Embrace had no problem insuring both my dogs, and it's a good thing! About a month after joining, the same dog was diagnosed with heartworm, which he contracted prior to me getting him. Embrace has been wonderful in responding to my inquiries and in sending the reimbursements with best wishes for a his speedy recovery. All of my emails are answered quickly and the agents are a pleasure to talk to. Definately the best choice in my opinion.
