If I could have given a zero I would have. I have never done pet insurance in the past so I was willing but skeptical to try the 30day trial from trupanion offered through my vet. My dog is 6months old and in perfect health. In my first visit with my vet, I mentioned to the vet tech I would like the vet to take a look at his skin and ensure there were no allergies or illnesses of any concern since he scratches more often than my previous pup did. My vet gave him the all clear with no issues or concerns whatsoever. Upon his 2nd visit 2 weeks later for another round of vaccines the vet notice he had the start of an ear infection, giving him medication and ultimately submitting the claim to trupanion. I received an email notifying me the claim was denied due to "a preexisting condition". When I contacted trupanion they stated that the vet tech records stated my concern of itching and therefore my dog has allergies which is preexisting to the insurance. I informed them he has not been diagnosed with any kind of allergies and an inquiry to my vet shouldn't allow them to self diagnose my dog with an illness they feel he has. I informed my vet regarding the issue and they created an addendum stating my dog had no allergies nor any signs of allergies and he is in perfect health. They than recommended I appeal the decision. I spoke with a new agent who stated they don't accept addendums. She also stated they don't diagnose diseases or illness. Seeing how my vet never diagnosed nor mentioned the possibility of allergies to me or in his notes, trupanion took it upon themselves to label him as having allergies to get out of paying anything that can "fall under the umbrella of allergies". This seems to do with anything that can cause a dog to have an itch. I am grateful this occurred during the 30 days trial, but am very discouraged from pet insurance as a whole.

HORRIBLE!! Stay away. I had canceled my policy earlier in the year and they were still wrongfully charging my card and after hours of trying to talk to a supervisor no one would help me. They were not able to give me a refund even though they could see my account was inactive and had not been used. a complete scam.

I keep getting emails saying my claim is missing information. I submit that information, and I get the same email telling me the same information is missing. The email isn't clear to begin with. A real human (I assume) reaches out to tell me the claim will be processed ASAP, then I get the same original email saying information is missing. Have never had a problem until MetLife took over. Get your act together!

If I could give it a zero I would. Every time I turned in a claim they denied me. Said it was preexisting. But my pet’s condition was curable & was not prexziting

I literally cannot get in contact with anyone.

I was pleased with AKC insurance when I first signed up (and, even recommended it to my fellow dog exhibitors), but competence has taken a steep nosedive over the past few months, with claims adjusters denying claims made less than 30 days after a covered event as having exceeded the 180 day limit. I strongly suspect they have either instituted the use of AI to deny claims based upon the inability of their AI software to accurately process claims, or they’ve hired employees who don’t understand how to read a calendar.

Jon was so incredibly helpful and attentive! He found me the lowest possible monthly payment he could on my car insurance, searching through so many and spent so much time explaining everything without even a hesitation! If I could give Jon 10 stars, I would!

I called because I am nervous about pet insurance. The guy said "im not going to answer all these questions for you because you will know once you file a claim". I said I am really nervous about buying and want to know what will be covered etc. before paying. He just kept asking for my method of payment and said "Listen you wont know what is actually covered until you submit a claim and its up to who is reviewing whether they deem it covered or not so lets just get you signed up so we can begin coverage today. What method of payment are we using". Like excuse me??? so you want me to just sign up and its basically just a guess at the end when I submit a claim whether its going to be covered or not. Yes, I can read what is put online but I called for a reason. I wanted to speak to a representative of the company so I could feel more secure and get more clarity. I did not call just so you can get my credit card info, I would have simply done that online. I was so set to buy embrace pet insurance too! I just wanted to feel like I understood the coverage completely so when I do file a claim in the future I am not blindsided. All the person did was read exact what was on the online portion then say "I wont know until I file a claim in the future if its actually going to be covered or not". How can anyone feel safe giving their money to an insurance company who speaks to them like that???? Oh I then asked him to transfer me to another person and instead of transferring me he just put me on hold forever. I hope he gets fired or has to deal with someone who treats him the same way when he is asked for clarity from another company.

rewarding experience, payment refunded as stated. I recommend

I was told by my employer when signing up with Metlife pet insurance that there were no pre-existing condition exclusions. But you have denied several claims based on this. SO DISAPPOINTING :-(
