I highly recommended Trupanion
My puppy was 3 months old when he had his 1st accident, ( a broken paw in 2 places ). Trupanion notified me via E-mail as soon as they received my claim, which was within 24 hrs of the doctors visit. The check was soon to follow. His 2nd accident was an accidental ingestion, which again was handled quickly and professionally. Wish my health insurance was as quick as Trupanion.

Rates Got Raised Big Time After Surgery
Overall the AKC/Pet Partners insurance group is very good about reimbursements based on your policy. However, after having the policy for 3-1/2 year, my dog required ligament surgery (TTA) of which they did pay 80% based on my policy but upon the next year's renewal, they increased my rates by $100 each month!! I've kept the policy but will be moving to another carrier. After researching, other carriers have the same benefits and hopefully won't be a devious.

Wonderful Pet Insurance Company!
There are many scam pet insurance companies that gladly take your premium but will find any way possible to avoid paying claims. So when I decided to look into the possibility of getting pet insurance, I was very careful and I did quite a bit of research. In my research, it was Embrace that consistently came up with the best reviews both by policyholders but also by independent reviewers. I also really liked the variety of plans and that they pay claims based on the cost of the vet bill instead of "reasonable and customary" charges. I took the leap and decided to try Embrace. I have loved them from the start. They are always nice and friendly. Then my cat developed a blockage and when I needed Embrace most, they were there for me on the phone. I even called after hours while rushing my cat to the vet and they answered and helped me even though it was time for that particular person to go home. Unfortunately I didn't get her name but she was wonderful and assured me that Embrace would be there for me.
After all the medical bills, I waited a bit worried wondering if Embrace would be like so many typical pet insurance companies and try to get out of the claim. Embrace stayed in touch with me while the claim was being reviewed to let me know that they were looking at it - even though they had not reached their estimated turn-around time, they still stayed in touch with me (without me prompting) to make sure that I knew they were working on it. Today I received my EOB

Glad I have it but...
Molly had a growth in her throat. The issue required an emergency vet visit, a follow up and then surgery. Trupanion was quick to respond and to pay the claims. The representatives were always friendly and informative. I chose a higher deductible for the policy; my out of pocket expense was $505. plus $394 for services not covered. When I add up the premiums paid plus the out of pocket, I am almost even.I am not sure in this case the insurance was ideal. My complaint would be that Trupanion does not cover exams. The explanation that I was given doesn't make sense. "It is Trupanions way of making sure that people are not taking their animal to the vet for exams in order to satisfy the deductible". I am not sure I will keep the policy.

Couldn't do it without them!
Our little pug has had four surgeries in her first year. Both of her knees gave out at about 4 or 5 months and then she became a rock eater! Thanks to Healthy Paws we were able to have surgery on her knees (one works great now) and she's perfectly happy to have three good legs. She's had surgeries to remove rocks from her stomach and intestines.If we didn't have Healthy Paws I don't know what we would do. We would never be able to keep this adorable little tripod alive.

Yet another visit to the vet
Skin issues with a bulldog always seem to pop up and sometimes stick around for a while. I am thankful to have Embrace to cover parts of their treatment. If only they would cover the expensive shampoo required. But having most of the medication and visit covered is better than none like other carriers.
Our claim was processed quickly and check was issues fast within 2 weeks.

Healthy Paws Insurance - Reliable and Responsive
My dog had to have surgery, and the final bill was over $2,000. I submitted my claim to Healthy Paws, and the checks were in my mailbox in less than a week. They called and emailed to follow up and make sure the little guy was feeling better. It was a weight off my mind while he was in the hospital, knowing that Healthy Paws was waiting in the wings. So there was never a question of whether or not to proceed with a treatment. Highly recommend.

That was easy
Embrace was great about contacting my vets directly and obtaining all of the information they needed. This was so helpful as I could focus on my sick girl and not have to worry about obtaining paperwork. Further they are very communicative about their process and what is happening step by step. They have been wonderful.
