  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.

This used to be a legitimate pet insurance company

This used to be a legitimate pet insurance company. In the last few years they have shown ZERO interest in covering our pets, and 100% interest in finding ANY reason to deny claims. They are a waste of money.
We have experienced this SEVERAL times recently, but the latest is beyond belief!
We had a ROUTINE dental cleaning performed on our our dog Sunshine, which is "preventative maintenance" and SHOULD be covered.
MetLife found a three year old note by our old vet, which we dropped because they cared little about our pets care, but were attempting to justify anything to rack up a bill. The vet claimed that Sunshine showed periodontal disease; which Met Life jumped on to claim a pre-existing condition (which they will about ANYTHING now).
I appealed this idiotic denial and my present vet wrote a very accurate, quite compelling case that HE FOUND NO PERIODONTAL DISEASE, and he ONLY performed a ROUTINE tooth cleaning, which is PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
MetLife denied the appeal!!!! These guys care ZERO about fair and honest business, and will apparently deny ANY claim that they can find ANYTHING, whether substantiated, or speculative (yes we have had "speculative" issues before) to deny claims. I would love a PROVABLE set of data on what percentage of appeals are denied; but I would guess the number is close to 100%, and the justification is pretty close to zero.
A once reputable company is now just a scam, and their coverage a myth. These people are the anti-Christ and will deny ANY claim they can find ANY reason to, no matter who dubious; then these a__holes will send you an email denying your claim telling you how much they care about your pet, and how they are doing?!?!?
I would really like to talk to someone in this company that matters as all you get on the phone is some poor soul destined to take your animosity while their superiors cash your premium check...

It was easy to sign up online

It was easy to sign up online. I had coverage through a company at one point and had no problems. The price was comparable to others and better than most. Now I pay monthly through my own account and not through my place of employment. Easy!

MetLife is hands down the best Pet Insurance policy. I’ve heard of horror stories and Hugo is so glad we chose MetLife. Your quickness to questions via phone or virtual assistant is amazing. Well worth the money we spend for the coverage we have!
