Emergency surgery claim

The process to submit a claim was simple. I think that one thing that could be improved is communication. There was some missing documentation and instead of being alerted via email I had to dig around in the app to figure out why the process had stalled. I'm still awaiting approval of the claim, fingers crossed.

180 from the previous insurer

Having 3 dogs is already expensive, and finding affordable coverage was mind-numbing. We had another company for a few years but could only afford accident/routine care. Even then, they found a reason to deny or lowball almost every claim. Since switching to Met Life we've had one dog hospitalized and another begin treatment for lymphoma. Met Life has reimbursed exactly what we expected without nickel-and-diming us. The claim submission is easy, the communication is prompt and we don't have to fear spending 20-25 thousand out-of-pocket as we did in prior years.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank goodness I changed providers to Met Life. They are very professional, very accommodating and very easy to submit claims. I tell all of my friends and family to get Met Life for their pets.

Extremely satisfied with MetLife Pet In’s.

It’s been a year since I signed up my precious St. Bernard with MetLife, and I glad I went with them! They are very courteous, friendly, and extremely helpful. Their claim processing time has been for 95% of the time in a timely manner. I have and will continue recommending them to family, friends, and at the vets office!

Bad Puppy = Great Met Life Coverage

New puppy. Everything goes in the mouth - despite being crated and watched like a hawk. Well, something hurt her delicate little GI tract and she had fluids coming out of both ends (when she wasn’t eating grass to stop tummy ache). An emergency hospital visit and 4 days later the vet bills were over $5,000! Thank goodness I had MetLife insurance! Once I submitted a claim on line and uploaded documents (a breeze) they paid nearly all of my bills, allowing me to eat again. I’ve had other pet insurance over the years, and MetLife far exceeds my experiences with the previous companies.
