Encourages wellness with the coverage
We have had ASPCA pet insurance on our 7 year-old Lab, Crusoe, for 2 years. We selected Level 4 of insurance which covers a number of wellness procedures. We had dental work done, including an extraction, as well as cleaning and this was covered. They also cover shots and heartworm meds and tests. Having this insurance makes it affordable to keep our dog healthy. He has had a couple of ear infections (common for the breed) and treatment is covered.

Nothing but a scam
I have had Pet Best Insurance since January 18, 2010. My dog, Donald tore his ACL in his rear leg while I was volunteering at a Best Friends Big Adoption Event on November 7, 2010. Their policy is which states "in most cases the acl tear is not paid until a year into your policy. They denied my claim two months before my year. They did not even offer to pay a portion of it. I've been paying for nothing! Your customer service rep was rude to where it was hard for me to stay calm. Donald is my family and we were both treated like dirt. My vet even recommended Pet Best to me. I will not recommend Pet Best to my worst enemy. Matter of fact I will write to the LA Times and to the TV news to have them investigate all pet insurances starting with Pet Best. I will also let everyone I meet at all the adoptions I volunteer with and all the dog shows how terrible you will be treated if you get a plan with them. I will tell anyone who listens to me how bad you are.
If you do not want to pay any ACL's the first year of the policy ......get rid of the "in most cases" phrase.
Donald is my fourth cairn and ACL's are not common with cairns.

this is good insurance
I got Embrace for my lab puppy after she developed a congenital problem with her ankle. although congenital problems are not covered, she has been well covered for her shots and some other problems she has had. The claim review process is simple and quick and the checks are issued without any hassle. I wish human health insurance was this good!

Pleasant and painless experience
My older dog had a tumor on his eyelid that was causing discomfort, continuing eye infections and the possibility of permanent eye damage and vision loss. He had another tumor on his knee. Both were removed at the same time. Based on my health insurance claims experience, I dreaded filing claims on my dog. I was pleasantly surprised. It could not have been easier, the response was timely, explanations thorough and the coverage was much better than I had hoped for. I would not even consider having a pet without insurance coverage. The rates are nominal and the peace of mind is exceptional.

Dreadful - they got out of almost all payments.
I had three cats (one mixed breed and two Balinese) on ASPCA and in all cases of claims except for one they refused to pay anything, arguing pre-existing and/or heridtary condition even though there were no known problems when I first insured the cats. They seemed to view life as a pre-existing condition. I cancelled after having wasted money on ASPCA and being subject to paying large vet bills on my own. Highly dissatisfied to the point of thinking this is a sham / fraudulent company.

Pet insurance is a must!
Should something catastrophic happen to our dear boy, Tyler, I don't want my choices to come down to money. We have become extremely attached to our terrier mix. Some years we have benefitted from having insurance, some years we haven't used it at all. Until the money starts growing on the trees in my backyard, I will keep paying my premiums! Tyler is 11 now, so I feel we could be coming into his stage of life where the big issues could arise. Pet insurance gives me peace of mind, knowing we'll be able to take good care of him until the end. My tip is to get insurance on your pet when they are young and healthy.

Satisfied with service and rates
We researched pet insurance on this website and eventually chose to go with Embrace based on the reviews and price. We bought accident insurance for our puppy as soon as she was old enough and had to make claims for a sprained ankle and illness in the past six months. The claim refunds were recieved within a month and the customer service on the phone was better than I expect (of course I usually deal with horrible companies like the cable and phone company). Seems like a good company so far so I'd recommend them

second great experience
Having lost my 7 year old pointer to cancer, I was quite concerned to find a lump on my new pointer's shoulder. Upon examination it was found to be the residue of her rabies shot and has since disappeared. Embrace took care of the bill quickly. Thank you Embrace.

I Picked The Right Insurance Company
I have nothing but good to say about Embrace. The claims process is quick and easy. The reimbursement checks were delivered in a timley manner. One of my dogs came down with Valley Fever and a few months later he broke a bone in his paw. I estimate that I saved about 80% on the vet bills so far.
I would recommend Embrace to friends or family without hesitation.
Keep up the good work!
Dan
PS: Please add "Puggle" to your breed selection list.

efficient
I am very pleased with the quick and cordial processing of the two claims that I have submitted thus far. I appreciate the "personal" attention and the fact that there appeared to be no strings attached to the reimbursements. My puppies (Benny and June) are very happy too!
