Extremely Timely
I took my dog to the vet on Friday and I just got an email saying that the reimbursement was posted to my account. This is the second claim that I've made with Embrace and I have to say that they are amazing. Extremely quick and thorough. They always keep me updated on the status of the claim and detail out everything in the statement.

Never know when your pet will get hurt.
We last used our pet insurance when our two year-old White Sheppard/English Setter mix cut her leg while on a walk in the woods. The laceration didn't look too bad, but would not stop bleeding. We had to take our dog to the emergency animal hospital near by, whom upon examining her, realized that the laceration wasn't a simple cut. Apparently our dog stepped on something that actually went up into her leg - hence she needed more than just a few stitches. Needless to say, I was very happy to have pet insurance.

I'm not the best writer,but I wanted to say Trupanion is the (one of )best things we did as a family for our dogs. Jesse our youngest dog got hurt rough housing/playing with our other dog.Trupanion came through for us and saved us alot of money. We are not rich people and pet insurance we didn't think we could afford, but we got a duductable we can afford. Never thinking we would really use it . But guess what !! Life happens .. Jesse hurt his jaw and the costs would have left us to borrow money from family and friends if it wasn't for Trupanion. We our so greatful. My poor writing skills can't express enough. If you have a pet please call trupanion you won't regret it and it's worth every cent. yours LisaN. owner of Jesse.

Skeptical about Pet Insurance-Don't Be!
I was so skeptical about Pet Insurance, (my husband said-SCAM!) but upon purchasing my Doberman from a breeder, I wondered if I could afford to take care of him if something went terribly wrong, after spending so much money to initially buy him. On top of that, one of the other "new puppy parents" was talking about how this was his 10th Doberman, and how one of his former dogs they called the $10,000 money pit, because he ate everything from pantyhose to socks and had to have multiple surgeries.
With this story in the back of my mind, I researched and researced, and decided Embrace was going to be the best choice of coverage for me. Little did I know, that after having Bosco for only a month, he would =swallow a large piece of palm bark and require emergency surgery...to the tune of $2900.00. Now I REALLY prayed that Embrace would come thru for me and that I really WOULD be reimbursed-or if my husband was right, and it was a scam.
After filing my claim, and receiving email responses right away, I was reimbursed exactly what I was hoping would be covered. I ended up with 1/3 of the bill, and had only made one months payment!
I have definitely recommended Embrace to all of my friends now. Don't worry-you'll be glad you have it if God forbid, you ever need it!

Excellent customer service & coverage
We have 2 German Shepherds covered by Embrace. We have always been very pleased with the services covered by Embrace - not to mention the super customer service. We plan to keep our coverage for a long time!

By Far the "best" insurance payout
I have a 8 year old Yorkie who has had no health problems. I purchased insurance over the years from two different pet insurance companies and have had nothing but problems. With bogus payouts that were not even worth my time of submitting the claim to the most rudest employees i have ever dealth with. A friend gave me Pets Best insurance and i figured what could i loose i will try them. Well after being with Pets best for 4 months my little yorkie got sick. Unknown what was making him vomit, itch and be very lathargic. The bills kept adding up along with the hospital stays for him and all the testing. After changing vets multiply times they finally found it was a parasite. My bills were up in the $4000.00. Now it was time to see if this Pets Best insurance really would do what they said it would. I downloaded the form, coompleted it and faxed it to the number on the form. 3 HOURS Later I had a confirmation saying that my claim was being reviewed. Two days later an email saying that they needed to get some more records and by the 5th day a check for 80% was sent to me. YES THATS WHAT I SAID 80%. They covered exactly what they said they would with no hidden clauses (about up 80% of the allowable cost) The Customer Service people are so nice and very helpful. One employee is nicer then the other. I have called and asked questions and they are always willing to go above and beyond to help me. WHAT A GREAT PET INSURANCE place this is. Do not go anywhere else f

A Curve Ball
I recommend for everyone to look into pet insurance before they even purchase a pet. I waited a couple of months before I got it and now I wish I hadn't waited. I did not anticipate all the problems with my Pico but my pet insurance sure has helped tremendously lighten the load.

85% Increase in Premium!!!!
I had been using the AKC Pet Healthcare Plan since I first got my dog in April 2006. Every year I experienced an acceptable increase in the monthly premium as one would expect to incur. The normal increase was between $5-$10 per month year to year. Yesterday I receive my renewal notice from AKC PHP and they want to increase my monthly premium by almost 85%. They expect me to accept a rate increase from %75.00 per month to $138.00 per month. Needless to say, I am looking for a new carrier and would not recommend the AKC plan due to this unnacceptable increase.

Happy with the coverage
I have had my dog insured for about a year with Embrace. They have paid most claims to my satisfaction, most importantly I have noticed that they are fair and transparent in making their decisions.
I shopped around and did my research. I found that Embrace was one of the only companies that had favorable pre-existing condition provisions. This is extremely helpful for those of us that rescued our pets or got them later in their life.
The representatives are extremely responsive and really take their jobs seriously. You can tell that they love animals. I also like that they email you when they have received a claim and keep you informed of the claim status throughout the process.
