MyEmbrace was great 7 years ago

MyEmbrace was great 7 years ago. Today, humans have been replaced with AI and the very legitimate claims I submit are put on hold for months for review. Like, requesting I send them medical records that do not exist for a rescued dog, before they'll consider reimbursement. Or, because 5 years ago, my dog had a rash on his abdomen and the catch-all word 'dermatitis' was used in 2021, my dogs severe hot spots on his hind quarters were not covered because 'dermatitis' is now a pre-existing condition. What am I paying $300 a month for ?!?

BTW, the reviewers writing to say "5 Stars! Great service!", they cannot possibly be real people who use Embrace today.

Hello Rebecca,

We're sorry for any frustration you experienced and we appreciate you taking the time to share that feedback as we are always looking to improve the claims process. Please note that prior to processing any accident or illness related claims, we are required to complete a Medical History Review for the pet. We need the records from any vet providers your pet saw within the 12 months prior to the start date of your policy and through the initial waiting and/or exclusionary periods. We specifically look for the detailed chart notes (also known as SOAP notes – subjective, objective, assessment, plan) in which the vet has recorded examination findings, pet’s health status, and test results (if applicable). This does not mean we need a full 12 months of records if it's not available (for example, if the pet is a new addition or born more recently), it is just the parameter we set for any pet to make sure there was a sufficient pre-policy exam done and so that we receive the required records.

Pre-existing conditions are defined as anything symptomatic or diagnosed prior to starting the policy and through the initial waiting or exclusionary periods and are determined directly from the notes provided to us from your veterinarian. This policy ensures that pre-existing conditions are accurately assessed and helps us provide fair and consistent coverage for all policyholders. However, any time you feel there was an incorrect assessment, we welcome you to discuss your concerns with our team. We were unable to locate your account to view the specific details, but please feel free to reach out to embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com with your full name and policy number and we're happy to provide further assistance.

My claim for my dog has gone on for…

My claim for my dog has gone on for nearly 4 months. They’ve dragged the claim out. My claim was for an eye surgery, yet they asked for fecal results. That’s when they put a HOLD on my claim (8/24/26). When they got the results, the 3rd time (9/9/26), they said it would now take 30 days for a decision on my claim. When I asked if the claim will be decided on Oct 9th, they said no. The 30 days wasn’t calendar days, they said it takes 30 work days. Terrible customer service and even worse company for dragging things out!!!!! I plan to cancel as soon as my subscription comes due!!!

Hello Kevin,

We sincerely regret any disappointment you've experienced with our company. The first accident or illness related claim submitted typically takes longer to process as we work with you and your vet providers to gather your pet's medical records and carefully review the details to make sure everything is in order. Typically, the first claim takes 30 business days to process, but can take longer if we do not receive the required documentation. We always work as quickly as possible and we understand this timeline can sometimes be frustrating, but it allows us to maintain accuracy and quality in processing your claim. Moving forward, we want to assure you the process is much smoother and our standard processing time is 10-15 business days. We were unable to locate your account to view the specific details, but if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com with your full name and policy number and we're happy to provide further assistance.

Biggest scam ever, do not get this insurance

This company will find every reason to not pay a claim. They will claim the medical records from the annual wellness exam are sufficient then when a claim comes in, magically the records are no longer enough. Also, I moved and they raised my rate $40 more a month claiming that its more expensive for vet visits even though im still using the same vet clinic. This was after raising my rate $180 a month at renewal even though I had no claims. The claim i just put in, theres not enough room here to explain how angry I am. I literally wasted my money on this insurance. AND when I tried to question the claims Adjuster over the phone, she hung up on me and then sent me to voicemail after that. Im so done with this company. My vet clinic said they are equally upset with how my claim has been handled as they had to get invovled, and will no longer be recommending it to pet owners.

Hello Caitlin,

We sincerely regret that your experience with our company has not met your expectations. Our premiums are set by our data team, who conduct a substantial analysis each year, and these findings help to determine premium pricing for all policies in each state. Premiums are partially based on the claims data we have for your pet's details (age, breed/weight, sex) and the location (ZIP code territory) where you reside, so if you move to a new address the premium is subject to change. We do not currently base premiums on where your personal vet provider resides because there are no networks with pet insurance, meaning you can go to any licensed vet you choose anywhere within the US and overseas for up to 6 months if traveling. We were unable to locate your account to view the specific details of your claims, but please know we take your feedback seriously and we're happy to address your concerns. Please feel free to reach out to embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com with your full name and policy number for further assistance.

Embrace pet insurance has been a critical partner for our Sphynx cats to make sure that their medical care decisions could be made on their needs instead of the costs. They maintained coverage when we moved overseas in support of the military.

Claims were completed quickly. And when we had to euthanize one of our beloved cats, they sent notes of condolence. They closed out that claim and issued refunds on remaining policy premiums.

I would love to see embrace raise the amount for the wellness reward certain breeds need to see a groomer every other month and a groomer cost anywhere from $60-$100 with the allowance given you would only be able to take the animal to a groomer seven times that’s not including the other wellness that a puppy or dog would need

I’ve been using Embrace pet insurance…

I’ve been using Embrace pet insurance through USAA. During my initial onboarding, I had to provide my cats’ medical history, which I did. However, two years later, when I filed a claim, I was informed that the history I provided wasn’t sufficient. It’s important to note that the history I provided was enough for our first cat, but not for my second. I urgently need a standard for future claims.

Hello Kenneth,

We sincerely regret any frustration you experienced with the claims process. When a policy is first purchased, we offer an option to complete a complimentary Medical History Review upfront for your pet. It provides you with a detailed report of anything considered pre-existing and not eligible for coverage. However, if this review is not requested by the Pet Parent, we do not review the medical records until the time of the first eligible accident or illness claim submission. This information is also stated in our onboarding emails.

In order to complete the Medical History Review, we need the records from any vet providers your pet saw within the 12 months prior to the start date of your policy and through the initial waiting and/or exclusionary periods. We specifically look for the detailed chart notes (also known as SOAP notes – subjective, objective, assessment, plan) in which the vet has recorded examination findings, pet’s health status, and test results (if applicable).

We see a team member followed up to provide clarification and your claims have finished processing, but if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team and we're happy to help!

Best regards,
The Embrace Team

Embrace made a tough period for the family even harder

My dog had this policy for about 8 months and every claim except a wellness visit was denied. My dog recently died due to high fever and lethargy and after I submitted a claim for his death bill this company says it was part of his chronic dermatological issues. He did not die due to a skin condition. This company made a difficult time for my family EVEN HARDER. I STRONGLY recommend anyone considering pet insurance to STAY AWAY from this company. And for perspective my dog was only 7 years old and NOT in the twilight of old age. I even hate giving this company one star because that is too much credit, in my opinion.

I originally got Embrace when someone gave my husband an Australian Shepherd. I had a little Havanese with CHF which was a preexisting condition, so I waited on her but changed my mind because anything could happen not related to her heart, and it did. She was diagnosed with bladder stones and couldn’t do surgery because of her heart.
The claims took a while but it was mostly my fault because I wasn’t sure how to submit them. Embrace was great in contacting Emergency Vets, her regular vets And getting what they needed
to file the claims. I received my refund once everything was completed. She
passed away suddenly and when I called to let them know, they were very sympathetic and helpful in canceling her policy. I will definitely keep our shepherd enrolled with them and will recommend them to friends and family.

Embrace is Top Notch!!

We have used Embrace since we got our beloved dog 3 years ago. We have had nothing but the best experiences every single time we have submitted a claim. Their submission process is super easy, the decision process is very quick, and reimbursement is within days of submission. We have recommended them to all of our friends. They are customer service oriented in a world where that is hard to find anymore.
