I have had Embrace for a couple years now and have not really had to use it until this year. Note you really need to understand what pre-existing conditions mean, to a certin extent if it has been noted in you pets chart before you had insurance chances are it will not be covered. BUT this year my dog had several instances of needing to go to the ER for an infection or something we don't really know and the total bill for my first visit was around 600 and Embrace sent me a check for like 540, then my dog needed to go again bill 500 I think I go a check for 450 or something like that. All and All I am very happy with the service and if I get another pet I will have Embrace for him as well.

After getting emails for several months from a Pet website touting how "wonderful" VIP insurance was, I decided that maybe having "doggie insurance" might be a good idea. But ever the skeptic, I decided to GOOGLE "dog insurance" and research which company had the best reputation. This was how I found out about Embrace. It was one of the few Pet insurance companies that actually had a very high rating in all areas of customer satisfaction. Embrace has a variety of policies from which to choose from. I found the best fit for us and insured my three dogs. About six months later my beautiful healthy American Bulldog was diagnosed with Mast Cell Cancer. Without this insurance my dog would have not stood a chance as the treatment was far too expensive for us to consider. I filled out the claim forms and faxed them off (and said a prayer). Embrace contacted me immediately and told me what they needed in order to process the claim. They provided excellent communication while I waited, processed the forms quickly, and I had my check before I knew it! Embrace explained things very clearly and I know exactly what to expect in the future. Thank you so much Embrace! Sometimes things aren't too good to be true! Sincerely, Sharon Hunt

One comment I must make has to do with review sites in general. Negative reviews will always be the worst cases imaginable and usually outnumber positive responses because it is human nature to complain rather than praise. Anyways, we have had ASPCA for our 3 dogs for just about two years. We have filed numerous claims and most have been accepted. The denied ones were for reasons stated in the policy. Even the ones that were accepted were reduced somewhat as it always is with insurance. But over the last two years we have been reimbursed 3.5:1 versus our premiums. We have had claims for infections, viruses, cancer and bloat all reimbursed proportionally. In my opinion, any reimbursement over and above the premium is a good investment. Would I get pet insurance for one animal, probably not. I would rather save money in a pet emergency fund. But when you have multiple pets, insurance is a great safety net especially if more than one pet gets stick at the same time.

To the Petshealth Customer Satisfaction Department:Thumbs up to Petshealth for providing such good service during the past year, which has been a tough one for my cat Heathcliff. I thought I'd take the opportunity to report back to you with the good news that he's bounced back from his three illnesses and is doing great now. On the renal failure front, he's been asymtomatic since a re-check on 07/07/09 (confirmed in a regularly scheduled check-up on 10/30/09), and his last treatment for it dates back to 07/07/09. As for his ulcer, he has been asymptomatic as of that same 07/07/09 re-check (also confirmed in that same regularly scheduled check-up on 10/30/09), and his last treatment for it was 10/23/09 -- we had continued with treatment as a defensive measure since July. Finally, he's been asymptomatic re his gastroenteritis/pancreatitis since that same regularly scheduled check-up on 10/30/09, and his last treatment was 11/27/09 -- again, we had continued with it as a defensive measure since October. Petshealth's service has helped to defray a significant part of the costs associated with these three illnesses. I am very glad to have had this help, and wanted to share the good news of Heathcliff's recovery on all three fronts. Sincerely, Dean

I have a 2 yr old black lab, have had this ins since she was 8 weeks..they are the worse, they recently got bought by another ins co. I am still wating for a claim i filed in Dec. they faxed the vet wanting every single medical record on her WHY????They won;t return my calls, they apparently did not get all records from previous underwritier..DO NOT BUY THIS INS!!!!!!!!!!

To keep it short, I have had 12K in medical bill in the past 12 month and almost 4K were covered. The other was only not covered because the injusry occured before the insurance started. They are efficient, VERY FAIR and extremely friendly - Thanks so much!!

After committing to a long term treatment for my pets allergies I was notified that the treatment would no longer be covered since it had occurred in a 'prior' plan period. In other words, they only covered ANY condition for the first year of coverage. ALL conditions are then deemed preexisting at the time of renewal. Is this not the complete antithesis of our understanding of medical insurance?!?!?!?!

We recently signed up to insure our new puppy. We included the Wellness plan to our basic policy,and within 5 days( we were told it could take 10-14)of filing our $60.00 claim, we received the full compensation in the mail!! So far so good....

We enrolled our 6 year old cat George in the pet health insurance plan. He was doing well but we had had such major expenses with his sister Gracie (unfortunately we had not enrolled them when we got them) that we knew we might need help in the future. George developed some gastrointestinal problems and it has been such a blessing to have the coverage. We were so pleased that when we adopted our rescue dog Toby we immediately enrolled him, too.

I decided to take out pet insurance on our new rescue puppy. We have had him 4 months and he managed to cut himself severely resulting in an emergency vet visit and surgery. I sent in the claim form and the bill and Embrace quickly reimbursed us for the amount that they said they would. They were very professional and courteous and I would recommend them to any pet owner.
