Unhappy with Yet Another Premium Increase
I have been with Trupanion (formerly VetInsurance for about 2 1/2 years. I have found their claim processing to be very timely and have never had a problem with them denying my claim. But, my premiums started at about $37/month and have gone up every year. The latest increase is from $47 to $58. And, my vet clinic has not increased their costs, so I find it hard to believe that these premium adjustments have nothing to do with either my pet aging or claims I have made.

Not such great insurance...
In one year, I had 12 different "insurance specialists" respond to my claims. None of them know my pets well, each one comes with different requests. 90% of my claims are rejected!!!The problem is that all insurance companies are the same, this one is one of the worst.

Good customer service
I recently signed up with Embrace with the arrival of my new puppy. I knew that my first claims would center mostly on Wellness issues like vaccines. All in all, I am happy with the speed of the customer service and how responsive they were. There was a small admin glitch which delayed the direct deposit of the reimbursement but that got resolved quickly, otherwise they'd get a full 10. I like Embrace and would definitely recommend them to future pet owners.

Claim Paid Direct to My Bank Account
My 9 year old Shepard was injured by a bigger dog. I paid my Vet with Visa credit card, submitted the the bill to Pets Best and the claim payment arrived in my bank account before the credit card bill was due. Unbelievable service. Thank you

Very Happy Customer!
My mini doxie (4 yrs old) has IVDD that has required expensive emergency visits & neurology appointments. Pets Best has reimbursed our claims every time. Their customer service is bar none the best. They are so helpful, polite and prompt. I am truly a happy customer.

What a ripoff!
They rejected my claims stating that my dog's bacterial skin infections were a pre-existing chronic condition based on the fact that the prior year she was observed chewing her feet. They don't seem to know the difference between allergies and infections. This was after two months of runaround repeatedly faxing documentation to them. VPI was much more reasonable in their claims processing.

Piece of mind for your "babies"
I have had Embrace on all four of my dogs since December 5, 2009. The week before Thanksgiving of 2010 my daschund all of a sudden became sick. She was diagnosed with leukemia. Within 2 weeks I had already met my $500 deductible. I was a ball of nerves especially during those first couple of weeks after she was diagnosed. Having insurance is & was a blessing. All the guys at Embrace were & are very helpful in answering any questions I had. It never takes more than 2 weeks and not even that long all the time to get an answer back on your claim. I very happy to have Embrace Pet Insurance for my "kids". It is a great investment every month. Piece of mind!

The best financial choice I ever made!
I can never thank my vet enough for recomending Truanion. Signing up for Trupanion has been the best financial choice I have ever made! Trupanion is reasonably priced,fair, and quick. My puppy has had a series of illnesses that I never could have afforded to treat. I'd hate to think what would have happened if we didn't have Trupanion.
