Terrible

Terrible. They claimed my dog throwing up once was a "preexisting condition" and refused to cover his hospital stay for pancreatitis. My policy was in effect several days before the hospital stay. I'm disputing the claim but I will absolutely be switching pet insurance providers.

SO GLAD we had this insurance

When our dog became sick, we learned just how important pet insurance was to have. We spent thousands of dollars dealing with GI issues with no clear root cause. When the vet asked if we wanted expensive tests and treatments, we were able to not think twice. We knew that we were covered and that was the best feeling. MetLife Pet has been helpful and responsive to our questions and claims. I tell everyone to consider getting this insurance for their pets.

Don't buy insurance for your pet without looking at this one!

After looking at a dozen pet insurance companies I came across MetLife, the funny thing is they are not listed on any of the so called "pet insurance review sites" which convinced me that those review sites only post reviews for the companies that pay them to do so. (I found out about fake paid reviews a few years ago when I tried to compare mattresses) Metlife covers almost everything and have a wellness plan that pays 100% of immunizations, dental cleanings, spay/neuter and exams. They even cover pre-existing conditions if you currently have pet insurance and the plan is covering claims involving the condition. There weren't many reviews of it so I contacted them directly with a list of questions and they are legit so I took out a policy with them. Within a few weeks my puppy ate some pills that were toxic to dogs and I ran up a $900 vet bill - Metlife paid it without question in under 2 weeks. By the way I am a current customer, and I don't get benefit in any way by writing this review. The only downside to Metlife is that they aren't available in all states yet.
