Pet Insurance — How It Works

We’re Feeling the Love

At MetLife Pet Insurance, we’re pet parents too. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping you keep your pets happy and healthy. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what other pet parents had to say about us.

So glad we had the MetLife Pet Insurance policy. This past summer my Frenchie suffered a horrible seizure and had to stay in the hospital for 4 days — then we had to go visit a neurologist vet. Thousands of dollars. Already had met my deductible and very happy to say I got 90% back! It is very easy to submit the claims,  and reimbursement comes in about 3 weeks. So happy I had the insurance.

I have had a few pet insurance companies previously. MetLife Pet is by far the best! Easy-to-submit claims. Never a hassle processing claims. Claims are quickly processed and there are multiple choices for reimbursement! Great experience overall! I have been using them for the last 9 months and I am very pleased!

Karen F., petinsurancereview.com, 9/9/2023

I signed up with MetLife Pet Insurance during my company's open enrollment Nov. 2022 with coverage going in effect Jan. 1, 2023. I have had nothing but positive experiences with MetLife Pet and I have filed several claims. Keep up the good job MetLife Pet Insurance.

Insurance plans typically don’t cover pre-existing conditions, which is why it’s a great idea to sign up your dog or cat when they are healthy.5 Learn more about how pet insurance works

Pre-existing conditions are typically injuries or illnesses, or symptoms that occurred prior to your coverage start date and any applicable waiting period. Learn more about pre-existing conditions, and reference your policy for full details.
