MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

I bought this insurance because they claim to cover hereditary/congenital. Well that is a load of garbage. My dog had a very rare skeletal muscle hamartoma - it was congenital (as he was born with it) as well as Von Willebrand. Now at the time I got the insurance I was only aware of the Von Willebrand's but they told me it would be covered. Well we submit for his surgery to have his throat mass removed after waiting on a final histopathology only to be denied. They deemed it PREEXISTING. of course it was preexisting it was congenital. He was born with it.

I am so glad the Nevada Humane Society told us about MetLife Pet Insurance when we adopted our cat. This is excellent. Within the very first month I had to get my cat surgery for his teeth, and they reimbursed quite a lot. I was hardly expecting anything. This was my first month after all. But the claims filing was quick, and they reimbursed me very quickly. The options for receiving the reimbursement were quick and through. I filed my claim on Nov 27. I was notified about the reimbursement by Dec 9. I am so glad I got this insurance. My benefits were clearly explained, and I am very satisfied. Thanks to this, I will be able to take good care of my cat.

I've had pet insurance since my dogs were puppies. I switched to metlife because my husband got a discount through his work. I had healthy paws, and they were great! Metlife? I feel scammed. I filed a claim back in Feb of this year and the bill went towards the deductible. Now, I filed a new claim, and again, this bill went towards the deductible? How and why? I've emailed them asking them, but I get no responses. About to call them, but I'm sure I'll get the run around. So far, in definitely not happy with this company.

They asked for me to contact them further to my review but nothing changed. It is like talking to a wall.

It has been the worst pet insurance company. We also purchased wellness coverage for both dogs. They claim to cover so much until you file a claim. This crap company denial rate is through the roof. They have no staff to help, your claim sits for 4 to 5 weeks before they deny your claim. Customer service is for sh_ _. After another denied claim even my vet wrote in letters correcting them and hey denied it again. It cost us $129.00 a month, we spent $3,800.00 at the vet's office and received $33.60 back with a $500 deductible. Everything comes back as PREEXISTING CONDITION. My dog has an ear infection 2 YEARS before this insurance and they label it as preexisting. MetLife salespeople told us items such as vitamins were covered. Their claims department denied vitamins again with the term PREEXISTING, preexisting because she was on them before the insurance start date. RUN away from this company and just think what they do with their other lines of insurance. The experience and service beyond terrible. I recommend that you never use MetLIfe Pet insurance.
