Completely Satisfied Olde English Bulldog, "Howie"
I encourage all pet owners to insure their beloved pets. Howie became a client at three months of age. In the first few months of his little life, he was wonderful, beautiful fur, soft, unblemished belly and loved his dog food. As he was approaching his first birthday, he broke out with pimples and sores all over his belly. To make a long story short, Howie is allergic to chicken and turkey, his thyroid level is low and he has canine alopecia. I honestly don't know how I would have survived the financial aspects of testing and treating if not for ASPCA Pet Insurance. As Howie approaches his second birthday I can say that we have his issues under control. Thank you so much ASPCA Pet Insurance. It is a great investment.

This company is a scam.
Our puppy has struggled with severe bouts of diarrhea on and off for several months. As such, we have needed to run several diagnostic tests, and considered an endoscopic procedure or a biopsy of his large intestine to find the root of the problem. However, these problems started well after the 2 week waiting period for our insurance to take effect. Unfortunately, during one of his routine vaccinations within this 2 week waiting period, our vet noted "occasional soft stool." Despite this note, no tests were run as it was not a matter of concern and a test had been done for parasites just a week prior, which had turned up negative. Embrace has not reimbursed us for ANY of our puppy's tests since his stomach problems began, stating that the "occasional soft stool" was a "pre-existing condition." Our vet was nice enough to write a letter explaining that his subsequent stomach problems were not related to the note about soft stool, however, our appeal was denied. Everyone I have dealt with at this company has been extremely unhelpful and unapologetic. They will go to great lengths to find a reason to deny a claim and I would highly recommend looking elsewhere when considering insurance for your pet.

Healthy Paws keeps my pup healthy
Getting Healthy Paws for my little girl was the best decision we ever made (next to actually adopting our goldendoodle). The claims are processed extremely fast (often times the claim is processed and/or approved the same day the vet faxes the claim over, and the check is in the mail shortly thereafter), and we have never ever had a problem with getting a reimbursement for something covered by the policy.
In fact, over the course of our first 15 months, we have more back in reimbursements than what the premiums would cost us over the next 10 years. So right there Healthy Paws has been a return on my investment, and then some. More than anything, having health insurance has given me the peace of mind to take my girl in for any medical problem (large or small) without having to worry about the vet costs.
Also, I feel like Healthy Paws as a company actually cares about my puppy. Whenever I call, a person picks up and is actually very pleasant to talk to. And when we submit claims for an illness, I get an email a few days/week later asking how my puppy is feeling. That's just great customer service!
I only wish my human health insurance was as good!!
As an FYI, my 15 month old girl is a relatively healthy goldendoodle. When she was very young, she had a sensitive tummy, and we just needed to rule out any pathogens, and more recently she suffered from a nasty UTI and struvite crystals.

Amazing
I cannot say enough great things about embrace. They have exceeded all our expectations. There has been none ( ZERO) of the typical insurace carrier nit-picking. They give us timely updates on our claims, have issued quick reimbursements and even follow up with us making sure our puppy is feeling better. I wish I had coverage this good for myself. I highly recommend.

I am pleased with ASPCA pet insurance but......
Due to problems with her ears, my cat, Betsy, who is 6 years old, is on prescription canned and dry food and so is my kitten, Jenni, who is almost one year old, since it wouldn't be easy to feed each of them a different diet (rabbit and peas.) Both of them are doing fine with the food....they both love it! I wish that the insurance would cover some of the cost of this prescription food as it is necessary for their health and well-being. I hope the ASPCA will reconsider at some point in the future. Also, I wish I had had this insurance for my beloved cat, Annie, who passed away last year.

A+++ Service from Embrace! Highly Recommend
I purchased Embrace last March for my English Bulldog puppy. We have never purchased pet insurance before, and researched many companies thoroughly online before deciding on Embrace. Their fair pricing, reimbursement based on cost rather than someone else's opinion of what is "reasonable and customary," and coverage of genetic conditions convinced us that Embrace would be the best choice. And after a rough first year for my Lola due to a bum knee and a fondness for eating bees she is allergic to, Embrace's prompt response to our claims has reinforced our decision. We will always choose Embrace and recommend to all!

Embrace is the best!
I have tried other pet insurance companies in the past and I must say that Embrace is excellent. They kept me update and informed me promptly on the progress of my claim. I have peace of mind now knowing that if God forbid I have a big vet bill, I have a reliable, trustworthy insurance to help me through it. I highly recommend this insurance company to other pet lovers out there.
