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.

ASPCA Pretty Decent

My 1 1/2 year old tcup yorkie was recently very sick and passed away. The vet bills from her 5 day hospital ordeal were over 1800.00. After submitting my bills I was pleased to be reimbursed for 900.00. The vet was unable determine the cause of illness and wrote a few things that could be considered genetic so I was concerned that they would not pay for her diagnosis. Much of her treatment included medicine which I do not believe I was covered for. I found their customer service very helpful and payment was quick and easy. I was also pleased that they cancelled my policy without charging me additional premiums since my pet passed away.

Very good company unless you really need it.

I was one of the first customers with this pet insurance company (my original policy number was 195) starting in 1989. So, over the past 20 years, I have paid a lot in premiums. I had the misfortune of having two diabetic cats in a row. Pet Secure (formerly Pet Plan) did provide excellent service for a lot of years. But, with my last diabetic cat (who also had kidney disease), I started to have a lot of problems. I would have fights with the reps, including one woman who wouldn't let me say a word and was yelling me down. Then my claims started to be paid on a sliding downward scale (down to 50%)as I was making too many claims. Well, I paid 10 years of premiums on that cat with the expectation that if he became ill, his vet bills would be paid. Unfortunately, Pet Secure didn't have the same expectation.

Simply the best!

I have 2 cats (we lost the third late '08), 1 dog and two 60 gallon fish tanks. Having insurence was always in the back of my mind, but I never seemed to do it. I was the lucky winner of the Petsecure Pet Month contest and 1 year of pet insurance was just one of the many wonderful prizes I recieved. I count my blessing that I have never had to use it, but have a small dog(Pomeranian) in what seems to be a big dog world, it sets my mind at ease. It was easy to register and they sent me out a complete package outlining exacty what was covered. There are not many things they don't cover and at a reasonable price. When I called them they were very friendly and helpful. Petsecure has my vote for a top notch company with excellent customer service! I will continue to keep insurance on my dog with Petsecure even after my year has expired! I would reccomend anyone with a pet to explore Petsecure's options. I did a little exploring prior to winning the contest and was not very happy with what I found as other companys did not meet my needs.

Phenomenal Customer Service

Working with Embrace has been one of the most pleasant experiences I've had with any business. Our bulldog developed a severe limp when he was only 11 months old and after consulting with a couple of orthopedic specialists, came to the conclusion that he would need to undergo surgery to repair a patellar luxation (make sure you get a second opinion...the first surgeon wanted to do some exotic TPLO surgery to fix a cruciate that turned out to be perfectly intact). After surgery (which went very well) we submitted our claim for the initial X-ray with our regular vet, the consult with the surgeon we went with, and for the surgery itself. The claim took a little while (~2 months) to process, but that was entirely due to the delay in getting detailed records from the different providers. Embrace kept me in the loop the entire step of the way about what additional items they still needed and how I could help in getting them, and ultimately the claim was accepted - very fair and transparent. Can't say enough about how customer-oriented and caring they are. While I hope not to have to submit another claim for our boy, it makes it much easier knowing that we have a policy with such a great company.
