Our Story

For over 150 years, MetLife has helped families navigate life’s twists and turns with financial protection. Along the way, we realized a core piece of the family had been left out. Pets need protection from the unexpected just as much as their humans do! So we launched MetLife Pet.

Our award-winning1 dog and cat insurance policies provide a financial safeguard for pets across the country — to help them live well, not just get well. And our educational resources continue to help pet parents understand pet health care so they can make the best decisions for their furry family’s wellbeing.

Community Impact

We believe no pet should ever want for care — medical or otherwise. Our animal welfare team works with local shelters to support their mission of finding homes for dogs and cats.

We’ve donated to, fundraised for, and hosted events with more than 500 shelters across the country — ranging from big adoption centers to small foster programs.
