Embrace - Increased our premium 46%
After one year they increased our premium 46% on our 3 year old healthy dog. We did not use our insurance at all that whole year.
When I called to ask them to justify this ridiculous increase they cited inflation and rising vet fees…I’m sorry, I know for a fact neither of those things have risen that high.
Stay away from Embrace, they’re just out to rob you.
Embrace - Won't pay claim
Submitted claim. Embrace wanted more details from the vet, also from the first vet that they required a wellness check when we adopted the dog from the shelter. Paperwork submitted but they wanted more. There is no more. Dog with us less than a year, from a shelter, got wellness review when purchased policy for which I pay for one year coverage up front. They keep saying they want more paperwork. There is none and so they just have not paid anything on the claim and I am reviewing to suggest others stay away from this compay.
Embrace - Wellness coverage
I asked why Embrace cannot provide wellness coverage in Rhode Island and was told that R.I. law prevents such coverage.
I plan on contacting my state legislator, but wonder why Embrace isn't doing anything to address the problem.
Embrace - Bait and Switch on premiums with Embrace
The first year I signed up for Embrace for our 7-year old Maltese, our premiums were $93/month for unlimited annual and lifetime coverage, with a $500 annual deductible and 90% coverage. When it came time to renew for year two, I was notified that my premiums would go up 52% to $141/month for the same coverage. I had to significantly cut our coverage to reduce our policy back to the same $93/month. This felt like a big bait and switch, but we already invested a year in this plan so we opted to continue at the lower coverage level. The customer service agents are friendly and helpful but the company seems set up to provide increasingly fewer benefits for more money over time.
Claims process is a pain in the a....
Trupanion is 1 click email not so with this.
Embrace - Don't pay attention when reviewing
I have had a lot of trouble with getting claims processed correctly. Often they process for the wrong pet, or don't pay correctly (i.e., pay more for the wrong pet, less for the other). The new claims issue is they state my cats' receipts aren't legible. That's impossible - clear as can be. Their email says to check out the claims in the portal, but neither claim is there for either pet, and there is no correspondence in the portal. I just resubmitted 2 wellness claims from Feb! I don't know if they're working from home and getting interrupted
Embrace - Company more than doubled my pet…
Company more than doubled my pet premiums with little notice. No explanation and I had to call in to find out why. I couldn’t get an acceptable answer. Now I’m stuck with this company due to pre existing conditions which really upsets me as a consumer. I thought my premiums were stable.
Embrace - Fast payment; slow & unreliable website
Embrace Pet Insurance pays my claims reallyt fast. My complaint is with the website--it is very slow and crashes. I end up unable to file claims and have to try some time later. Then it's slow again.
It happened 12 May 25 and then 20 May 2025
Embrace - Repeated charges a year after cancellation.
In June of 2024 I cancelled my policy and moved to another company because my monthly nearly doubled with no warning. All seemed fine until April of 2025 when I was suddenly charged $93. Then I was charged $600+, then another $93, all within a month. I called in and they reversed the charges, but a couple days later I received an email telling me a charge for nearly $900 would go through on 6/15/2025!! It had better not... I've emailed them and all I've gotten back so far is an email asking how they did, so here I am, telling them.
Embrace - This is a scam
This is a scam. I am having the exact same issues as the other comments on here, however, I am filing a class action lawsuit as this is a clear “bait and switch” strategy that is wrong. Taking advantage of people’s emotions to want to help their animal and then stealing, stating as well that you have a waiting period of 14 days before you can even use the insurance yet it says you also only have 14 days to request a refund. If anyone sees this and is dealing with the same experience, my father who is an attorney in contract law is assisting me in a class action lawsuit. If you want to join please email me christinascioli34gmail.com. It’s time things change and I’m going to make time because this is evil. Same pattern in their response, they appear to lean on fine print and loosely interpreted policy clauses to deny coverage—suggesting that a required veterinary exam was missing (when in fact it was submitted) or implying that cancer falls outside of covered conditions. These tactics deflect accountability from their own clear marketing claims and the actual policy language, which explicitly state that coverage applies to diagnosed illnesses and does not exclude cancer.
I have reported them to them to the:
- The State Department of Insurance;
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for deceptive business practices;
- The Better Business Bureau and relevant consumer platforms.
I recommend everyone who is dealing with them just trying to wear you out and give you a run around and hope you quit - don’t. Report them to the above and contact me. There is power in numbers.
