Sad in Nebraska
Typically, I’ve been happy with Embrace, this past experience I have not. I have four dogs I had sent in all the paperwork soap, notes, invoices, etc. and yet they are dragging their feet saying they do not have everything they need so now I’m having to wait for them to say that they need to get additional information from the doctors office which is simply redundant.

Hello Mary,
We sincerely regret any frustration you've experienced with your claims. Although we try to process claims as quickly as possible, they can take longer to complete if we are missing any required documentation (medical records, a complete invoice, clear diagnosis or reason for the visit, etc.). Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team at 800-511-9172 and a team member will be happy to provide further clarification and assistance with any questions you have.

Rates went up from $578.80 a year in 2025 to $1088.35 a year in 2026. My dog has had coverage through embrace since he was a puppy and he is perfectly healthy. He’s not even that old he’s six. No significant claims or health issues this year, just pure greed.
Scam. Do not buy insurance from these people, look elsewhere.

Hello Sean,
We understand that premium increases are challenging, and we truly regret any disappointment you experienced with your renewal quote. As a customer of Embrace for multiple years, 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 assist you.
Best regards,

Terrible experience
My experience with Embrace has been frustrating from beginning to end, particularly when it comes to transparency, claims processing and customer service.
First, it feels as though Embrace actively discourages customers from speaking with someone by phone. Wait times are extremely long, and when you finally reach a representative, the first-level customer service staff often do not seem to have the information or authority needed to actually resolve an issue. Instead, you are told that your information will be passed along to someone more senior who will call you back. Sometimes that happens, and sometimes it doesn’t. The experience is inconsistent at best.
This is particularly frustrating because Embrace makes it very easy to purchase a policy online, yet I found the online marketing and explanation of coverage anything but clear. I believed I was purchasing a standard policy that would cover non-routine veterinary care for my dog, aside from medications. I reasonably assumed that if my dog became ill and needed to see the veterinarian, the visit itself would be covered. Only after submitting my first claim did I learn that the visit for an illness was not covered under the policy I had purchased.
I do not believe this limitation was made sufficiently clear during the online purchasing process. If an illness-related veterinary visit isn't covered, that is significant information that should be presented prominently and unmistakably before someone purchases a policy, not discovered after filing a claim.
The combination of unclear online information, lengthy claims processing, extremely long phone waits, and first-level representatives who are unable to provide meaningful assistance has left me with very little confidence in Embrace.

When I submitted my first reimbursement…
When I submitted my first reimbursement request by email, I never received my reimbursement. After following up a month later and calling customer service for assistance, I was finally told that my photo was unclear. The problem is that nobody ever contacted me to let me know there was an issue or give me an opportunity to resubmit it. I had to chase this down myself.
As a senior who has difficulty navigating computers, I specifically appreciated being told that the process was simple. Instead, it has been unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming. I am now considering dropping the rewards program at renewal because the effort involved is simply not worth it.
I hope my experience with medical claims will be better, as I have not yet had to submit one. However, my first experience has certainly affected my confidence in the company’s customer service. Embrace needs to do a better job communicating with customers, especially when a simple notification could prevent so much frustration.

This company doesn’t care about customers. I haven’t filed a claim in 3 years and my insurance just went from $90 a month to $233 a month for the same coverage. What a joke. Vet costs and inflation haven’t more than doubled since last year. Hahahahahaha VVV what a joke. You need to get better data analysis. I cancelled embrace and will never return. I got twice the coverage from Lemonade for $80 less a month and I’m a new customer. Also I called the listed number for embrace and they didn’t care and didn’t help me. Stop lying about personalized solutions.

From $10 to $200 Per Month- Premium Skyrockets
I have used Embrace for 8 years, and am a USAA member. My two cats were insured as kittens, and initially their premiums were about $10 a month. One of them has just had his premium increased to $200 **a month**, and he is going to have to be put down, because I can no longer afford his insurance. Mr. Fluffalump was healthy, no issues, until he came down with a UTI. Embrace assured me that I could use his policy as much as I wanted, but the amount of claims would never affect his premium. They flat out lied. I have been in touch with the Executive team, as my other two dogs are also insured with Embrace, and at first they denied that his claim history had anything to do with his skyrocketing premiums. I have pointed out to them that Christine, my other kitty, has been insured for the exact same length of time, but her premiums have never skyrocketed. They say they record all calls, but they will not grandfather his lower premium, even though I was misled by the Embrace reps.

Hello Clyde,
We are sorry for any disappointment you experienced with our company. The first accident or illness related claim submitted typically takes about 30 business days to process as we work directly with you and your vet providers to gather any additional medical records needed and review your pet's complete medical history. We look for the detailed chart notes from any exams/visits that occurred within the 12 months prior to starting the policy and through the initial waiting or exclusionary periods. Please note this does not mean we need a full 12 months of records (for example, if the pet is a new addition or born 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.
We work as quickly as possible, but this timeline allows us to maintain accuracy and quality in processing your claim. Once the review is complete, your pending claim will move forward for processing and it's a much smoother process moving forward. 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 assist you further.

I added a second dog and got denied coverage
I had one dog on Embrace and then added another dog. I did NOT get a new policy just added a second dog That process was simple and they accepted my premium. Me the and months go by.
I NEVER heard from anybody at Embrace that they needed any further information
about Dog #2 so I assumed we had full coverage. They did accept my premium payments just fine and have had the payments for a LONG time with no claims ever filed.
On 8/8/26 had an emergency vet visit for sick dog and found out Dog #2 has cancer. We did the treatments and paid the vet and submitted claims. All claims were denied as “pre-existing” because they said Dog #2 coverage only started 8/8/26 therefore all claims were for pre-existing cancer. They even said euthanasia would not be covered if it was related to the cancer!!!!
I believe customer service is all AI. NOT Human.
They have no compassion or empathy. I am trying to get my policy cancelled so I never have to deal with them again.

Hello Cindy,
We understand how stressful it can be when a pet experiences an unexpected illness, and we sincerely regret that your expectations were not met. Our only requirement in order for the coverage to take effect at the end of the initial waiting or exclusionary periods is a documented physical exam by a licensed vet either within the 12 months prior to the start date of the policy or within the first 14 days. We strive to be as transparent as possible regarding the coverage, and this condition of the policy is noted in the acknowledgements that have to be agreed to upon purchase and in our onboarding emails. We understand this was not be the outcome you were hoping for and you've spoken with a representative regarding your concerns, but if you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out and we're happy to assist as we are able.
