Embrace Pet Insurance review
I love Embrace. Indeed, my dog had an unexpected surgery after a complication from being neutered, at the same time that I had back surgery. Both surgeries were successful, but reimbursement from Embrace was a breeze, while dealing with my insurance company, not so much. Thankfully, I now have Medicare, but I recall sending a note to Embrace saying my only disappointment was that they didn't insure people. I would never go without insurance from Embrace for my dog. It just makes fet decisions so easy. Do what is best for the dog and don't worry about paying.

We’ve had Embrace for four years, never had a claim denied and every time we’ve submitted a claim it has been processed and any money coming back to us has been in our bank account within less than 5 business days. We love it!

Embrace Pet Insurance review
I have 2 10yr old Labs. Embrace has covered all things they have said they would withing the guidelines of the policy. They went out of their way to get my pups medical history and any additional information from the vets office. I don't know if the have the best overall coverage but i'm very happy with the coverage I have and the customer service that I receive. I absolutely recommend Embrace. And no, I have nothing to do with the company other than them being my chosen canine insurer. Have a blessed day

Review regarding online quoting system: + allows for seemingly every modification to the quote you would like to make + doesn't appear to have a one time administrative fee + definitely the best quoting site for pet insurance I've found so far
