We’ve had our dog with embrace since she was a few months old. We had a lower end plan that had a $5k yearly cap, at the time a *vanishing* healthy pet deductible of $750, and no preventative care with 70% reimbursement. Each year dealing with tolerable increases of $3-5 a month. Last year we had our first and only health concern that required veterinary intervention. A small, non-cancerous, fatty tumor(lipoma) that had unfortunately caused some light bleeding through her nipple. We did all of the recommended steps for diagnostics and surgery. Zero complications and back to perfect health minus one nipple. My first red flag of their financial greed was that when I called to submit a claim for the first time I found out that the vanishing deductible was only a few weeks away from expiring and I had not received any correspondence of the change nor an explanation of why. Fortunately we were able to take advantage of it and the claim processed without incident. Then our policy renewal came. We’re slapped in the face with a 100% increase in our monthly premium. It felt like we were being punished for daring to use the insurance we’d paid into for almost 9 years. Fast forward a year to present. Dog is still in perfect health and hasn’t been back to the vet aside for booster vaccine and a teeth cleaning. The audacity for Embrace to not just double but damn near triple our monthly rate for the same mediocre policy was insulting. Cumulatively, a 360% increase in just two years. With one incident in her lifetime. We’ve paid hundreds more into her policy than we requested back. Disgusted doesn’t even begin to cover how we felt. When I called to cancel I was asked if I wanted to adjust her policy instead by increasing her deductible and lowering her coverage which would have effectively rendered it useless and still would have been more than we were paying now. All of this to be placated with the canned “increased costs” message I keep seeing in these reviews. Do better Embrace. Make an effort to fix the issue at hand instead of passing your costs on to the consumers. We’re in San Diego California for anyone worried about their rates going up.

⭐ Review: Embrace Pet Insurance via USAA – A Cautionary Tale I used to trust Embrace through USAA. They were once top-rated, scoring 4.6 or higher, and I believed they offered real protection for my pets. But that trust unraveled quickly. One day, my pug was in excruciating pain—screaming when I tried to touch him. I rushed him to the vet. Bloodwork didn’t reveal the issue, so we did an x-ray. That’s when we finally found the problem. I submitted the claim to Embrace, expecting support. Instead, they denied it, calling it a “pre-existing condition.” How could it be pre-existing when I didn’t even know it existed until the x-ray? Their six-month orthopedic waiting period is a trap. It punishes pet owners for seeking answers and forces pets to suffer unless you wait out their arbitrary timeline. I appealed. They denied it again. This isn’t just poor service—it’s a system that gaslights pet owners and dismisses urgent care as a technicality. And now they’re sending marketing emails asking me to come back. No thanks. I’ll never trust them again.

After I got my quote, I had to try several times to enroll my pet. I don't know if there was an issue with the system itself, but I would enter my info again and again and the actual enrollment section or button wouldn't appear. After quite a few tries and days, the system finally took my info and completed the enrollment process.

I have held a nationwide pet insurance policy since 2019, all was great until a couple weeks ago. When I had an emergency with my Labrador that unfortunately ended in goodbyes. I had discovered that the policy was canceled due to an expired debit card. I never once received any notification from their billing department via mail, phone or email. We are now stuck paying an insane amount out of pocket. In an attempt to reinsure my remaining pet, I rushed to reapply. To my surprise, Im receiving email and letter notifications with these time sensitive requests. Clearly something has changed on their end. The lack of communication almost seems intentional. If youre thinking about utilizing Nationwide for anything, DONT. I will not trust them with our business, our policies or out pets ever again.

Absolutely abysmal - a total scam. (Just read the zillion awful reviews on the BBB pages) Had accident coverage for my cat who threw up blood one day. Vet did bloodwork and examined him and determined he’d eaten something weird and was fine (which he was, thankfully). Spot denied my claim (over $600) repeatedly saying he was ill. He’s never been ill a day in his life - which my vet tried repeatedly to dispute (as did I). The bloodwork was clear and there was literally nothing that would lead to that false conclusion. Did they care? Nope. BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

I've had embrace pet insurance for years. Never had a claim...never missed a payment. Rates started going up, $80 became $130...terrible..everything's going up..I get it... my dog is now getting older now and they just increase his coverage to $336 a month, if I change to lowest coverage its $160 a month for basically no coverage. Pricing my dog out of care. They know what they just did, that's why they sent me a letter saying what they did is legal in the state of Colorado. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY Please read the lies they sent me as a reply before you sign up for this company, because thats what you will get if you give them money, LIES

I wish I could give zero stars. I have 3 pets and now have all of them with Lemonade. Fetch has been the worst pet insurance company I have ever dealt with. The are expensive and the reimbursement is terrible. It is like have a bad car warranty that doesn't cover anything. The customer service at Fetch is absolutely worthless. If you are looking for a wonderful pet insurance, consider Lemonade Pet Insurance. Lemonade is fantastic.

It is terrible denied my claim because they said his symptoms started in the waiting period where I had already paid for the insurance but was not covered???? Even though it did not and I don’t know what that information is coming from seems like a scam do not recommend waisted 100 dollars for the months I’ve been on not to mention it took them a month to process my claim said I needed two years of vet history or my claim would be denied when I just got the dog a couple of months ago

I fortunately haven't needed to submit a claim for my pet so I cannot speak to how they process claims. However, the rates went from $29/ month to $73 for my single cat. I cancelled on August 28th via email, received a response on September 2nd that the cancellation was backdated 8/29 and yet was charged 9/8 the full premium amount. I filed a complaint with the Colorado AG due to how the company handles cancellations as both California (where the policy was started) and Colorado (where the policy was most recently active) require companies that have autorenewal, allows customers who sign up online be able to cancel online which Pet's Best doesn't offer. In violation of both CA and CO law. To rectify this, I ended up calling in, 1st rep was great, I really wish I got her name because she was wonderful. Second rep Erin had an attitude from the get go like she personally was affronted that I wanted to cancel my account, said she couldn't give me a timeline for cancellation. I obviously had questions, because there hadn't been clear communication on the cancellation process but Erin started getting angry and when I asked her why is she so upset when it wasn't her money she started crying which was crazy. I've never dealt with someone customer facing get so emotional, like out the gate started the call with an attitude. I the customer shouldn't have to ask a rep 3 times to check their tone and not to get upset because a customer has questions. Luckily a supervisor was able to join the call with a clear head, immediately processed the refund and the made sure the cancellation was actually completed effective immediately. Will never go with Pets Best again tbh, I don't want to deal with crazy increases and hard to reach/confusing customer service department. Big shout out to the supervisor Sebastian, he knows how to deescalate and communicate clearly with customers. Erin, please take a few days off and reset, it was too early in the morning to already be that worked up about customers. I'm so serious when I say that the day literally just started.

I keep sending all required medical records for Sabrina. However, I continually get emails that you haven’t received them and eventually have my claim denied!
