Great insurance!

My new rescue pup hurt her leg playing with another dog fairly soon after getting her. Because MetLife insurance has a much shorter waiting period prior to filing for an injury than most companies, they reimbursed 90% after my deductible was met. Another reason I chose MetLife was that they will cover both knees if there is a problem rather than just the first leg, as many companies do. I’m glad I read all the details of the policies instead of just choosing the least expensive. I’m very happy with the coverage, communication from MetLife, and the speed of reimbursement. Great company to work with!

We love our hounds!

Oh my! I wish every pet owner knew about Metlife! Had it not been for the latest rescue group, S.O.S, Saving One Soul who recommended this company, we never would have been the wiser and I have been in the vet field for 17 years! Tremendous coverage with reasonable premium! LOVE MET LIFE!

Worth every Penny

Life has been there for all 3 of our dog , the best and worst of times. Their wellness insurance is worth it because it encourages us to keep our dog healthy and follow recommendation provided by our Vet. Filing claims is easy and if you call staff is friendly and helpful

Customer Service is Call Only

I just adopted a new kitten couple weeks ago and this MetLife insurance was the free package from adopting from AHS. It all started with this lady who helped me set up my account, she spelled my street address incorrectly, when I found out I had to call them twice (not including the first call) to finally get them updated my address. Then after that, I won't be able to update the address in the policy packet. The online chat is definitely a fake chat, it's never worked. I emailed pet_info based on their website and never got a response. Each time I called them, I had to wait on phone for over 30mins. How can they make updating an address that difficult? I just emailed pet_feedback, we'll see if they'll ever get in touch with me or not.
