Great value

Everyone was so very helpful and you get a lot of coverage and the price is very reasonable, I insured both my cats for under $100 and was able to get the coverage I needed.

Pet insurance help me give my cat the best care possible

My cat, Callie, was diagnosed with small cell lymphoma cancer. I was so relieved to have pet insurance that helped me be able to give her the best treatment possible. They pay the claim very quick and the customer service is superb.

I've been a customer of Embrace for 5 years and am angry at their service

I've been a customer of Embrace for over five years and I'm disgusted at how they delt with me. I filed a claim because my dog was diagnosed with arthritis in his spine. Not only did they refuse to cover the diagnostics (x-ray), but they also refused to cover any of the treatments. I've cancelled my policy and will NEVER renew. EVER.

Hello Roger,

We sincerely regret that your experience with our company has not met your expectations. We strive to be as transparent as possible about the coverage regarding the exclusion of pre-existing conditions, defined as anything noted as symptomatic or diagnosed prior to the start of the policy and through the initial waiting or exclusionary periods. We understand your claim did not turn out the way you anticipated, and we're happy to address any additional questions or concerns you have. Please feel free to reach out to embracesocial@embracepetinsurance.com with your full name and policy number for further assistance.

Personal service and fast claim payments

Embrace isn’t cheap, but the peace of mind is worth it. I appreciate the personal service and how fast and efficient the online claims process is—from submitting a claim to receiving payment. It makes dealing with vet bills easier and lets me focus on Cooper. Very happy with my experience!

NO LONGER RECOMMEND EMBRACE PET…

NO LONGER RECOMMEND EMBRACE PET INSURANCE! Have a cat that has been insured with Embrace for 15 years since she was a kitten. Our premium last year was $1,218 and Embrace recently advised that the premium for the coming year was to increase 4-fold to $4,914. Embrace explained that the increase was due to inflated veterinary costs nationwide and to the age/health of my cat (cat has glaucoma requiring eye medications but seems to be doing fine at present). But, from our perspective, it seems like Embrace is begging us to cancel our policy so they do not have any potential future losses. We plan on accommodating them by letting our policy expire; to advise our friends and associates of Embrace’s customer treatment; and to write the CEO of USAA (who owns Embrace) to let them know of Embrace’s policies and procedures. USAA has never adopted or embraced similar practices in our 50+ years insured with USAA. Based on our recent experience, we NO LONGER RECOMMEND EMBRACE PET INSURANCE!

Hello Ronald,

We understand that premium increases are challenging, and we truly regret any disappointment you experienced with your renewal quote. We know that as a customer of Embrace for multiple years, you have experienced a premium increase before and in light of that, some of this information may already be familiar to you, but Embrace conducts a data analysis each year, and it is these findings that help us to determine increases in premium pricing for all policies for the term ahead. Our team focuses on multiple factors, including the age of the insured pet, the tenure of the policy, and veterinary inflation. This includes not only rising veterinary costs but also the recent advances we are seeing in veterinary care. We strive to find a balance in maintaining quality coverage for the pets that we insure, while also factoring in changes in the marketplace, but the reality of the premiums is that they do go up over time as our pets get older to account for the increasing risk of illness and injury. However, we do structure our policies to allow you to change coverage parameters to adjust the premium based on what you feel is best for your individual pet and situation. Our goal is to work closely with each policyholder to explore personalized solutions and adjust coverage as needed to support you during this time, so if you would like to explore these options further, please feel free to give us a call at 800-511-9172 and we're happy to help.

Poor 1st experience

I had my dog in for a vet visit on Aug 24,2026. They asked for his medical notes and they were provided 2 weeks later. I called on October 5th and was told they received the paperwork and had not reviewed them yet. Shortly after I received an email stating it would be reviewed in the next 5 days.
Here I sit still waiting for them to review so I can be reimbursed. This pet insurance is absolutely awful I DONT RECOMMEND THEM to anyone and I will be switching shortly.

Hello Rhonda,

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.

Failed to advise me regarding their policies regarding the death of my dog and his cremation bill. Very disappointed in embrace insurance and definately would not recommend or refer them to anyone. I will be contacting USAA and my vet regarding Embrace Insurance.

Reply from Embrace Pet Insurance

Hello Bette,

First and foremost, please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved dog. We know this is an incredibly difficult time, and our hearts go out to you as you navigate it. We strive to be as upfront as possible regarding what we can and cannot cover, both under our insurance policies and our Wellness Rewards plan. Embrace has a set list of exclusions as part of the Terms and Conditions for the insurance, and cremation costs are not eligible for coverage under the accident and illness insurance policy. Those costs are eligible for reimbursement under the Wellness Rewards plan, but if your Wellness balance has been fully maxed out and reimbursed back to you for the current term period, we are unable to reimburse more than your chosen annual allowance. We see you already spoke with a representative regarding your concerns, but if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care Center and we're happy to assist as we are able. Our goal is always to support our policyholders and their pets, so we appreciate your feedback and will use it to continuously improve our services.

Best regards,
The Embrace Team

It’s a complicated format unless you…

It’s a complicated format unless you are apt at medical terminology for your canine in which that is all I have. The wait appears to be indefinite after a phone call. It appears the denial is on its way. So all I can say, it appears that they’re great at collecting premiums and denying claims. I will recant if any of them are paid. I did file five at one time, never filed for the year. The site is confusing again if you do not understand medical terminology. I made a mistake. They would not remove the mistake when I called customer service, though they were very, very nice.

The Embrace policy is based on a reimbursement method, meaning you pay the vet directly, submit your claim, and we pay you back for any covered conditions (subject to your chosen coverage parameters). This allows you to visit any licensed veterinarian, specialist, or emergency hospital you like!
