Over the years we've had numerous dogs and cats who lived to be quite old, and we've never hesitated to spend whatever was necessary to provide them with needed medical care. When our female Akita became very ill at the age of 13 and a half, it took a toll not only on our family's emotions, but also on our finances over the course of the last year of her life. In just the last month, we spent over $3,000 for her care, before the vets found an inoperable brain tumor that ultimately was more than she could fight. When we adopted our next dog, a border collie mix, I decided to find coverage. After looking around and comparing, I began with ASPCA, though my mother had a different company. Now, almost five years later, we have three border collies covered with ASPCA Pet Insurance. I've always found the service to be responsive and prompt, and the representatives are all so friendly that I never mind calling with questions. The insurance has paid for itself - in peace of mind and in reimbursements. I noticed that one reviewer mentioned the pre-existing condition issue, and I'd just like to add that there is a simple (not very expensive) rider that takes care of that. By all means, get ASPCA Pet Insurance for your best friends!

My experience with Pets Best is fantastic. I tell everyone I can how much a pet needs insurance these days given the cost of vet care and the great service provided by Pets Best (it far, far, far exceeds that of VPI). It is by far, the best investment I've made for ever!

I've been a client of Embrace for the past two years and I have had no issues with getting my reimbursements in a timely manner. I don't have to call to find out the status of my reimbursements because their claims department keep me up to date. Thank you EMBRACE for all your help and support and for your continued excellent customer service!!!

I need to tell you my story, Maddie our Minature Schnauzer was insured for almost 4 years with VPI. She came down with Vaginitis which would not clear up so our vet did additional lab tests and found out that Maddie had MERSA. VPI refused to change any payments to us other than the Vaginitis even though the diagnosis was changed. I cancelled VPI insurance because of a rather strong disageement.I changed insurance companies to Embrace. I did everything that Embrace requested including giving Embrace all of Maddie's medical records, an orthopedic exam and Maddie was checked by our vet again. Several months later Maddie was diagnosed with MAST CELL CANCER. Our vet bills have sky rocketed and Embrace sent me a check within 15 days or less for approximately $1780.00. I paid a $300.00 deductabe and Embrace sent us a check for 80% of the balance and the bills continue. I fully expect Embrace to continue taking care of Maddie through her illness.

Embrace is the first company I've used that hasn't bent over backwards trying NOT to pay claims. Petsbest denied every single claim I put through. My dog had a yeast infection in his ears when we first got him, prior to getting insurance. When the infection returned 6 months later, they said it was a pre-existing condition. My cat what drinking and urinating alot. The vet checked her out and said she had never seen a healthier 16 yr old cat. Petsbest denied the claim, again saying it was a pre-existing condition. She not only never had the problem before, but, how was it a pre-existing condition WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG! So far, Embrace has been good.

I have a 3 year old Westie that seems to always get herself in trouble and Pets Best has been there. At 6 mos old she swollen 3 copper pennies and had to be kept over night in the hospital. The bills were unbelievable but Pets Best was right there. This year Britnee gave me a horrible Mothers Day, she swollen a raw hide bone. Once again she spent the night in emergency & pets best respond quite fast. I have recommend Pets Best Insurance to several of Britnee's friends and all are more than pleased.

When I call with a question, the CS staff are always friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the Superior customer service!

After 10 years without claims, insuring two dogs at a time, and not always the same two (they come and go), I finally submitted a claim for $240. After the $100 deductible, I called about the "co-insurance" of 20% ($48.00). What's the deductible for then! I get $92.00. They get $148! I paid about $12,000 in premiums over the ten years, and the only other accident claim I submitted 5 yr. ago (dog broke a tooth trying to chase a squirrel under the fence) they refused to pay b/c it wasn't "on the list of perils". Don't bother with insurance! If you have more than one dog, just self-insure. It will be cheaper in the long run, by a lot! I give them a "2" b/c at least they paid something, but I cancelled the policies, and I will self-insure from here on in.

My cat, Stormy, is generally heathly but getting a little older. She's had some dental and skin problems but nothing dramatic. I am reassured having pet insurance for her - just in case. My other cat, Thunder, died of IBS a couple years ago. It came on rather suddenly and he was sick for several months before he died. If I didn't have ASPCA pet insurance, I would have had to get a second job to pay his vet bills. ASPCA is a respected company and the pet insurance is good quality and priced right. Thanks.

I am a big fan of pet insurance. We have had AKC for both of our dogs for six years. My company offered VPI at a discount so I switched one of our dogs to VPI to try it.In short, from VPI, the amount I spent on insurance would have easily covered my output for the dog bills. Bottom line, AKC has paid nearly every claim with little to no hassle. I am so sorry I switched. I would recommend AKC to everyone.
