  1. Pet Insurance Company

Written by the company

MetLife was founded over 150 years ago to help families navigate life’s twists and turns with financial protection. But then in 2020 we realized something: who rounds out a family better than our pets? And thus- MetLife Pet Insurance was born. Backed by a group of pet lovers determined to treat your pets as if they were our own, MetLife Pet Insurance strives to help you make sure your furry family members are protected. Our comprehensive pet insurance policies for dogs and cats help you cover the cost of injuries, illnesses, pet meds, holistic care, emergencies and more- allowing pet owners to help give their pets the best care possible. We also offer a unique family plan,1 which allows pet parents to cover up to three pets on one policy, and even offer a 0-day waiting period on accidents and optional Preventive Care benefits.2 That means no matter what your pets are getting into, they can be protected by midnight on the very same day you enroll in a policy. This commitment to helping provide pet parents with the best pet insurance possible, may be part of why MetLife Pet Insurance has won the “Pet Insurance of the Year” award 4 years in a row. 3 But that’s not all. Here at MetLife Pet, our passion for animals extends beyond the home. That’s why in addition to offering cost-effective pet insurance for dogs and cats, we also work with hundreds of animal shelters across the country to help our furry friends find their forever homes. Because at MetLife Pet, our pets are more than just animals. They’re family. 1 Coverage options may be limited for certain ages. 2 Family plan policies are limited to dogs age 12 and under and cats age 14 and under.
