MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

I adopted my Dogs at the local humane society and they were pushing MetLife Pet insurance with their welcome packet. I knew insurance was a good idea so I got a decent plan and thought I was good. Wrong, filing anything and trying to get a correct "Explanation of Benefits" where they detail how they "honor" your vet charges is like pulling teeth. Had a scare on the first week where one dog decided to eat a leather toy at night and had an ER trip and the filing was awful. I gave the entire adoption history with the vet notes and they denied the claim because I was missing 6 years of medical history on a dog I adopted 2 weeks ago. Not to mention the company is setup so you cant actually contact anyone on the claims team who could simply correct the the fumbled information, you have to contact a dedicated customer service rep. who can email the claims team for you and "contact" you in a week when they hear back or you have to fill out an appeal form that has your vets signature and stamp on it (yes a stamp.) Sure, one time would be bad but its like the claims team is either toddlers or is in India because they cant report the right vet visit dates or read the receipts that say what the vet has or has not prescribed. I think they have fallen to a new level of dysfunction and I'm joining a new company at the end of my plan. PET OWNERS BEWARE 2024.

I have a new puppy and a new customer. I have only filed one claim but so far no complaints. App is user friendly and their communication is good and timely.

We have been very pleased with all aspects of our pet insurance with MetLife. We have 2 cocker spaniels. 10 months and 4 years. MetLife is a great company to work with, that first puppy year is very expensive and everything has been covered. Great customer service and very easy to file claims and get reimbursement. We were with another company that doesn’t even compare with MetLife. I recommend Metlife to everyone.

I've had a Metlife pet insurance policy since my puppa joined the family a little over a year ago and it's been an absolute pleasure. Customer service is top notch and claim reimbursements easy as pie! Do yourself a favor, at the very least, make an inquiry and see if if it works just as well for you.
