Worst ever,
Purchased puppy, came with 1 month insurance which needed to be applied for within 48 hours, this was done. At vet visit for puppy shots, diagnosed with kennel cough, which eventually evolved into pneumonia 4 days later. Insurance claims were rejected, "preexisting condition". All we got was rhetoric when asking to reconsider. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Thank You Thank You Thanks You
We have been having quite the run with this 11 month old puppy...With tests, food changes, meds and now surgury....But throughout it all Trupanion has been there and at least that's one less thing to worry about is not being able to afford her treatment...Thanks Trupanion

Great experience so far!
I've never had a pet, therefore I had no need for pet insurance and honestly, I was a bit sceptical about how it would work so I'd thought I would purchase it for my first kitten "Banana". Online process was smooth and user friendly. My 1st claim was for my kittens 1st vaccines & Exam, I faxed the claim to Embrace on Monday morning after Bananas 1st vet visit and I had an email from them Thursday stating how much my reimbursement would beand that I should receive my reimbursement within 2 day. I highly suggest that when you first purchase your pet(s) plan, that you call them atyour earliest convenience to give them your bank account info for quicker reimbursement. My experiencehas been pleasant so far and after reading over so many pet insurance companies and Embrace had good ratings and so far have prooved it. Thanks Embrace!

Impressive
I'm new to Embrace. I have a 3 year old Husky with no health problems. I had health insurance through another company and decided to switch to Embrace because of their wellness plan. I took my dog to the vet on Saturday and my vet faxed over everything to Embrace. Today I got an email saying my reimbursement has been deposited. I already recommended Embrace to my co-worker. I can't believe how quickly and easily everything worked out. I talked to the Customer Service rep a few times before signing up online, and each time they were extremly nice and helpful! SO FAR SO GOOD!

I love embrace
the wellness plan is so affordable and wonderful. I do not need to sweat about the cost of care for my pets. I have had Embrace now for only 2 months, and each month right from the beginning I have been reimbursed. thank you so much Embrace.

Very fair, knowledgeable and responsive
This is the first time we've had Pet Insurance. It is offered at a discount through my place of employment. So far, Trudy has been covered for about a month and I've submitted one wellness claim which was reimbursed very quickly! The folks I have spoken with have all been incredibly responsive and helpful. I wish I'd had the foresight to take it out sooner. Take my advice - if you're even thinking about it - DO IT - it's short money for piece of mind and a great company too! Employers - please see if you can affiliate and offer a discount to your employees. It's a great no cost benefit!

Fast, friendly service.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quick and personal service provided by the people at Embrace. I never expected the claim to be processed as fast as it was. I also didn't expect to get an e-mail specifically to me about my dog. It sure is better than human health insurance. Maybe they could learn something from Embrace.

Thank Goodness for ASPCA
One day my Bentley started vomiting. He started doing this several times in one week. Hiw bowels were also very soft. You could see he was losing weight and he was moping around, not normal for him. Usually he is very playful. I took him to the Vet and they ran all kinds of tests, which you know are very expensive. With the visit, the tests and the medicine, the charge was over $500. I submitted my claim by faxing in the papers. A few weeks later, I received a check for part of the expenses. What a relief. Seems like everytime I take Bentley to the Vet, the bills are so outrageous.....and I am so happy to be with ASPCA. We insure ourselves, and we must insure our pets. They are part of our family and we love them dearly. We chose the plan that covers neutering, so Bentley is being neutered this Friday and will probably have his teeth cleaned while he is under the sedation. Very comforting knowing that part of this will be covered by the ASPCA insurance. I tell all my friends with pets that we have this insurance and encourage them to look into it for their family pets.

Embrace Was Good Until I Tried To Rejoin
Sure, it’s all roses until you cancel your plan and try to rejoin…… I was a satisfied Embrace client, having enrolled my pup with Embrace since the age of 4 months. Happy with the premium cost which was about $50 a month w/a $200 deductible for his breed/NYC. I was shocked one day to receive a waiver that required my signature. Essentially the waiver stated I understood if I signed, Embrace was not chartered in New York state and I would not be able to pursue an unpaid claims in New York state claims courts. Thousands of dollars in bills potentially unrecoverable? Not impossible scenario but very scary so as a concerned pet parent, I didn’t sign and switched firms. Went to Petplan. Am really unhappy with Petplan despite great reviews. Now I want to return to Embrace. Figure my dog is still young, Llyods of London is a reputable underwriter and all should be fine. Until, Embrace quotes me a premium of $89/mnth $1068/yr and informs me they WILL NOT be covering conditions they had previously covered since his coverage beginning at 4 months because my dog would be classified as a brand new customer with no history at Embrace (his medicial records would need to be reviewed as if he were never an Embrace client). Now, all the things that were NOT pre-existing in his policy since he was a pup are now considering pre-existing since I had taken a 3 month break from Embrace even though he had insurance coverage elsewhere with no claims. Really? I am outraged that Embrace is using a tec
