Greatest pet insurance experience!

As with all insurance, you always hope you won’t need to use it! But when my cat, Joey, needed surgery, MetLife insurance was there! They covered Joeys medical bills, medications, and follow-up therapy under my policy. The representatives were always kind and caring.

Experience with Metlife Pet

I have had no issues with Metlife Pet. Claims have been handled in a timely manner with maximum reimbursement. Only thing that hold be included is microchipping since that is highly recommended. We got our malamute at almost 4 months old and he had continuing problems with parasites and required treatments over 3 months. Vet said it might have bn the warm weather where he was born not killing off the worms. Metlife paid all the claims and has continued to provide excellent claim service. I would recommend them over other providers that I've had.

The linger and decline payments for NO reason

I adopted 2 healthy 4mo kittens from a shelter and paid $750/yr to insure two kittens and added preventative care add-on option. They declined my first vet visit for “pre existing condition “ no explanation. Then they declined my 2nd visit doing routine vaccines (which should be covered under the add-on). No explanation this time. The app just says it was mailed to me but I didn’t receive anything . Also this took weeks for them to do. Really frustrating process which makes no sense. Complete waste of money and time.

VETERINARIAN: 121 Animal Hospital

Its been Good

Clain Process is pretty simple, send in the required documents, and wait for the reimbursement to post in my account. Processing is a little slow, shows 5-10 days, has taken a little longer than that, maybe 15 days +/-. questions answered. I haven't used the online vet, our vet is 24-hour animal hospital. has some good articles and good notifications. Metlife has been a good experience so far.

My Experience with Metlife Pet…

My Experience with Metlife Pet Insurance was as follows: Easy claim submission, document uploads through the app or email and a quick review period. But if you are a first-time claim submitter, I will warn you about the SOAP NOTES HELL LOOP. You can submit everything, but if you don't submit soap notes and previous medical records for your pet's entire life, the claim will be delayed or denied. That part was frustrating, but after all documentation was sent in, my claim was approved and paid fast directly to my bank account.
