fetch denied all our claims for a foot infection and claimed it was a pre existing condition. even after the vet wrote a letter stating it was not pre-existing and we provided a full 2 years of medical history they denied our claims. our cat died from the infection. never use this terrible company

Do not sign up with this company. They will deny claims for "pre-existing conditions" even though the health issue is unrelated. They will badger your vet for the pet's complete medical record, even though they received it as I personally sent it. Then they will ask for it again. Clearly a stall tactic or they are very disorganized.

DO NOT EVER GET THIS INSURANCE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE! HAD SUCH A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. APPLIED FOR PET INSURANCE MAR 3 AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS "APPROVED" BUT THEN SENT AN EMAIL SAYING MEDICAL REVIEWERS NEED TO REVIEW HIS BARE MINIMUM HEALTH HISTORY (HEALTHY DOG) AND THAT COVERAGE HASNT STARTED TOOK THEM 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE STARTING COVERAGE SO COULDNT GET 1 OF HIS HEALTHY APPTS COVERED. THEN ONCE THEY ACCEPTED IT NOTHING WAS SENT OUT. TRIED TO CREATE AND ACCESS AN ONLINE WEB PORTAL AND COULD NOT AGTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. AT THE TIME I COULDNT LOCATE A PHONE NUMBER OR CONTACT US FORM AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING. NEVER COULD FILE A CLAIM OR ACCESS ANYTHING. THEY HAVE KNOWN PROBLEMS CREATING ONLINE ACCESS WHICH I FEEL LIKE THEY DO INTENTIONALLY. ALL THE WHILE I PAID A DEPOSIT AND WAS GETTING MONEY TAKEN OUT FOR 3 MONTHS. I finally contacted my bank to stop payments because I couldn't figure out how to terminate the insurance. I asked for a refund because they stated if the insurance hasn't been used then you may be able to be refunded they switched it to say Marylands says you only have 10 days from "approval" which doesn't make sense because coverage doesn't start until 14+ days later. I was with Pet Embrace for 3 years and never had 1 issue like this. Their customer service was absolutely rude and said "well I pay auto insurance and I'm never credited back even though I'm not in accident" which is not the same type of situation. You get pet insurance to cover their wellness expenses it's more of a form of Healthcare than it is for a car. Save yourself the time DO NOT sign up for their Insurance go someplace else. Their coverage isn't even that great to begin with. If the pet insurance is this bad I can't imagine how any of their other insurance is.

Poor clarity of coverage on website. Misleads customer into believing routine or preventative vet visits would be covered. Customer support staff is not sensitive or understanding of customer’s perspective. Generally just a difficult and misguided experience.

I was never told what records you needed. And I can’t find it on the site.

When choosing dog insurance be aware that these companies want your business as long as your pet is young and healthy. As they get older and you use the insurance more frequently to cover your pet's medical expenses, they will start denying claims and raise your premiums in order for you to cancel or they will flat out cancel your coverage.

Misleading in full coverage benefits, and when you try to cancel full coverage, they do not give you the option to do so.

I never once filed a claim and yet they continued to hike my premium, getting to a blinding $100 bill this year. I made a request to cancel in May of this year, which they countered with lowering my coverage, so I accepted. A new policy was underwritten and enacted in June. They wrote me in July to say they cancelled my policy anyway. I asked why, they cited the May request. Okay, fine. I don’t understand why THEY reopened the request after it was ALREADY resolved through a compromise they proposed. I’ve just wrapped up another round of unnecessary discussion because now, in August, they’ve reopened the ticket AGAIN to say “they’ll look into my inquiry and respond promptly.” So I answered that this was a futile attempt, which then they responded with a condescending email stating that since the policy was cancelled, they cannot reinstate it. Good grief. Overall I’m exceedingly disappointed in their service, and especially their mismanaged, disorganized “inquiry system.” Save yourself the headache. Don’t go with HealthyPaws.

I decided to go with Lemonade for my dog's pet insurance. I chose a deductible and a percentage of reimbursement. When it came time, the first time, to get reimbursed, I was amazed to find out that I would not be reimbursed for any examination. In other words, I knew I would not be reimbursed for routine wellness exams, like once a year; however, if my dog were sick, or in an accident, of course the first treatment would be the examination. If the examination is not included, then what exactly are we being reimbursed for?? I find this absolutely mind-boggling, almost like as a policy holder I have been completely cheated! Stay clear of this pet insurance!

Just so disappointed with the actual coverage. When we had an actual emergency, including prescribed medicated food—very little was actually covered by this policy. After a yearly expense of $1,500 for coverage i expected better. We had around $900 in vet expenses, the “80%” back that we’re getting is around 150 bucks. It’s fine but- Why did we spend this money on emergency coverage when we could have saved it instead and come out on top? We had this for a few years now and the cost is going up an additional 50$ a month—so a yearly cost of $2100, and pittance for emergency coverage in compensation. Turns out it’s smarter to save what we’d pay in a high yield savings account and hold to accrue interest than pay somebody else to barely cover anything. I feel ripped off by this.
