Great communication & Super Please so far

I have a new puppy and from my older dog I learned pet insurance was a NECESSITY, not an option. After reading the reviews I went with EMBRACE and so far am VERY pleased with my choice. The process has been very easy and payments very quick. My vet (Governor Animal Clinic in San Diego, CA) deserves a mention since they have completed all of my paperwork and made the process even easier for me! I am super pleased so far and am hopefully the process will continue to be as smooth as it has been.

never enough reimbursement to satisy

Every time we have a big bill from our Vet, it turns out hardly any of it is covered by Embrace. Very frustrating to say the least. Its all in the exact wording by the Vet himself. If there is even the tiniest chance there could be some association with anything pre-existing, or if a physical exam for say dermatitis also included some regular wellness exam procedure... then POOF- there again we have lost our chances of getting a deduction! This has been going on for over a year now! Very very very frustrating. The dog has had like 4 exams for varying problems and every time Embrace manages to weasel out of paying, because it looks like a wellness exam or some fluke possible thing from a "possible" tick (which there wasnt even any proof of...) on and on and on.... I am glad others have had some good luck, but definitely not us.

MUST HAVE!!!

THE BEST, I KID YOU NOT, THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE AS A PET OWNER IS GET EMBRACE INSURANCE. I have owned dogs all my life and they can always come up with some unexpected health issues, no matter what the age or type of dog. Since I have had Embrace, they have covered a rough onslaught of medical conditions that neither of my rescue dogs were ever forseen to have- and Embrace did it without ever objecting, making my life difficult, or capping benefits. The payments are prompt and the people there are delightful to deal with- they take a personal interest in your dog and they always follow-through on being sure you received your money. My one dog, only 1 1/2 years old, recently went through approximately $15,000 in medical expenses for an unknown illness that was causing her to waste away. Because of Embrace, we were able to pursue all the treatments she needed and she is now recovering, happy and healthy again. In addition, the specialists found two conditions that we can now do preventative treatment for so they never become a large issue later in life. This on top of the more than $10,000 they have put out on my other dog who needed extensive oral work and ended up with a neurological disorder, another young dog. I am so fortunate to have spent the time researching these pet insurance companies. Embrace is the one and only who will cover you for everything, do it completely and do it with a smile. Unbelievable blessing for those of us who love our furry famil

Prescription Coverage

I was very pleased with the initial communication with the Embrace staff and after Ellie's first accident.It seems that prescription coverage is an additional cost even if there is an emergency. My dog doesn't require daily prescription drugs however she was bitten by another dog which required stitches and an antibiotic for wound care at the cost of 537.00. The cost for the drug for this claim was not covered. I am still very unhappy about that incident. I have also been comparing other companies and their policies before I renew with Embrace for the following year. Not sure I would recommend Embrace to other pet owners.

Pleasantly Surprised

I used to use a different company for pet insurance - on that was well known and reputable. I didn't renew that insurance because it felt like I gave them an awful lot of money for nothing. Very little from my annual wellness visit was reimbursable, and failing an emergency, it felt like throwing money away. I did some more research and found Embrace. I was hesitant at first because in signing up, some of the paperwork made me wonder if I was basically giving my premium to a company that would leave me in the lurch. Well, there was absolutely no need to worry! I just took Kira to the vet. She got vaccinated and checked out, and I bought some Advantage. The entire bill was $295. I expected that I might see $80 - $100 back, so imagine my surprise when Embrace emailed me to let me know I was being reimbursed $200! That covered everything except the Advantage. The check arrived within the week. I was so impressed, I've been telling everyone, even my non-pet owning friends and family. Thank you, Embrace!
