No problems so far

I've only submitted two claims to Embrace so far, but each have been reviewed in well under two weeks (more like a couple days). The company e-mails me when they receive my claim, and then again with their decision. Their customer service is great when I need to call, and of course when they e-mail. They seem to know what they're doing, and actually care about your pets. It doesn't feel like they're trying to "cheat" you. It was made perfectly clear to me that any pre-existing problems documented in my pet's record would not be covered, and that was understandable. They cover any breed-specific conditions, which a lot of companies won't (Example - Cocker Spaniels are prone to ear infections). I love Embrace, and although I (fortunately) haven't had to make a large claim with them yet, I feel like I am getting my money's worth and am confident that should a large claim situation arise, Embrace will be there to help me.

Better than my human insurance!

I inherited Bailey, a 9 year old mini dachshund, when my mom died and the first thing I did was look into insurance for him. After comparing various providers, I found that Pets Best was the only one willing to insure a dog over 7 that had a history of seizures from over 5 years ago. I took out the insurance for my piece of mind, but quickly found I needed it when Bailey went through a series of ailments and mishaps, including a broken toe! The real challenge came a couple months ago when he was diagnosed with kidney stones, hypercalcemia, and hyperparathyroidism. Over the last six weeks, he has undergone a series of treatments and surgeries to correct the situation and the vet bills were astronomical. After all the trips to the vet, he is now recovered from his ailments and was given a clean bill of health! I am happy to report that within 24 hours of submitting my claim for reimbursement, I received an e-mail informing me the claim was approved and I would receive a check within 7-10 working days. I couldn't be happier with this company and highly recommend them to anyone who owns pets.

Watch out for incident limits

I had a Pets Best policy for 3 years. My wonderful boy has allergies and will have to have them treated for the rest of his life. The per incident amount on the plan is $2500 I used that amount in two years. Pets Best considers the incident to be anytime that problem happens so in reality they only cover chronic conditions up to the limit. I have changed to a VPI plan they won't cover the allergies (they are pre-existing) but they let me know exactly what I am getting and honesty is important to me!

They are not too bad for the money

They are reasonable-the monthly fee is affordable. They only pay 80% of what they feel is fair and reasonable. My last claim they did not pay any thing bacause they said it was hereditary, although all the tests came back normal. I think they are trying to say that my dog has boxer myocardia. But there was no sign of it found. So therefore I am very dissapointed with them right now, and I have appealled their decision, I just wish I would have found this web site before I picked the insurance company.

We LOVE Embrace!

I simply cannot say enough about this company! If only humans could have this level of customer service, care, premium cost and compensation! Our dog was abandoned and 'walked' into our life with no collar and underweight. We hadn't had a dog in 10 years and I had no idea of current costs. At the dog park there were several people talking about their experience with pet insurance companies,(I had never heard of it), so I researched AT LEAST 7 companies, compared rates but was sold when I called Embrace. I spoke to a 'live person' who answered questions I didn't even know I had until she started informing me of all they offered. Kodo (mixed Rotty & ?) developed an allergy that involved many visits to the vet within the first few months of coverage and they covered it so well. But the most surprising and most AMAZING fact is they are also covering Kodo's accupuncture treatments!!! He has a possible torn ACL and after researching all the pros & cons of surgery, I knew there had to be another way. I found a terrific new, ultra-forwarding thinking vet whose methods are working without surgery. I was concerned Embrace wouldn't cover the charges and was worried how to fit these treatments into our budget but that isn't a concern anymore!!! I am so confident in Kodo's coverage that a lot of stress has been alleviated. I wish Embrace would advertise more or at least send out promo material to every vet they receive a claim from. I talk about them everywhere there are animals and owners! We chose the premium coverage & it is still less than a tank of gas for my vehicle! You can't receive better insurance anywhere else.

Poor customer service

I have had my elderly lab insured with them for almost 10 years. The premium has continually increased with decreasing coverage (most recently $102/month). They also have a manifest clause in the coverage that does not cover a condition from one plan period to another for 6 months. Basically, an existing condition is only covered for six months such as osteoarthritis. The customer service representatives are courtesy but are not knowledgeable about the details of the policy. Lastly, they charge a 10% cancellation fee. I

Outstanding in every way!

I have 3 pets signed up with Pets Best. 2 cats and 1 dog. 2009 has proven to be a very trying year with all 3. The dog had developed a violent cough. After seeing the regular vet he was off to a specialist. $1568 later we have a diagnosis of "allergic chronic bronchitis". Multiple claims were put through for this dog. Every single one was paid at the 80% after deductable. Checks were in my mailbox in less than 10 days. My out of pocket expense? $333. I've called several times with questions and have had great support from the customer service team. The cats have gone back and forth this year with Irritable Intestinal disease. One had to have a barium sweep. Both have cost me hundreds of dollars! Pets Best again paid the 80% after deductable in record speed. No questions asked! I have heard stories from friends and colleagues about other pet insurance companies. I am so glad I went with Pets Best. I have nothing but good to say about this company. Smartest decision I ever made.
