Caring for a pet means celebrating the good days and navigating the tough ones. Pets aren’t just animals we care for — they’re family. When you love a pet like family, you do everything you can to keep them healthy, happy, and safe.
To better understand the impact pet insurance can have, it may help to hear from pet parents who’ve faced tough decisions. Whether it’s a sudden or ongoing medical need, having coverage in place allowed these MetLife Pet policyholders to focus on their furry family member’s well-being rather than the financial strain — a reassurance many pet parents hope for.
“I am so happy that I decided to purchase pet insurance for my two dogs. While we always hope to keep our dogs healthy with regular check-ups, sometimes accidents happen. Such a thing happened with my 3-year-old cocker spaniel. She and my other dog got into a bottle of Advil. The cocker [spaniel] ate some and was very sick.
I had to rush her to the emergency vet, and the two-night, three-day stay was quite expensive. MetLife Pet paid my claim within 2 weeks and reimbursed most of the claim (less deductible). I'm grateful that I have MetLife Pet Insurance, or I may have had to make the decision to put my dog down over an accident. I am now a loyal customer for life!”

When a pet needs emergency care, every choice feels urgent. You might even go to great lengths to make sure your pet gets the care they need — like Donna did by hospitalizing her dog. But worrying about the bill only adds to the stress.
While emergency vet visits can be costly, pet insurance acts as a safety net during moments like these, helping you to reduce the financial stress of urgent medical care. With that support behind you, it can become easier to say “yes” to life-saving treatment when every second counts.
“I adopted my pup … when she was 3 months old, she will soon be 8 years old. [The rescue] provided one month of pet insurance with MetLife Pet, which I’ve continued her entire life. She has a short, single coat and has suffered allergies and skin issues since she was a puppy. I’ve counted on MetLife Pet to help with the expense of her treatments, and they’ve been there for me with their easy and quick online claim submission process.
[My dog] recently found a baseball in the basement and thought it would be a good idea to rip off and consume the leather cover. After visits to two different emergency veterinary hospitals, she’s fine, no surgery needed, thank goodness. But those ER visits came at a very high price. Two days after I submitted the claim, MetLife Pet notified me that my claim was approved and payment was on the way via direct deposit to my bank account.
I couldn’t give [my dog] the care she needs if I didn’t have MetLife Pet Insurance, and I’m so grateful for the kindness, understanding, and excellence of their customer service and claim staff. I’m a loyal MetLife Pet customer for life.”

Chronic conditions — such as the allergies PJ’s dog faces — usually require consistent, sometimes lifelong treatment. Over time, those repeat vet visits and medications can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Getting pet insurance early, before a diagnosis, can help prevent those costs from falling entirely on your shoulders. This could make an even bigger difference in managing chronic care costs when your pet also needs emergency vet care. Knowing coverage is there — the way PJ did — provides some confidence that future treatment decisions can be guided by what’s best for your pet, not the strain on your wallet.
By helping you cover both urgent, unexpected care and ongoing treatments, pet insurance can help you provide the stability to act quickly in moments of need while staying committed to your pet’s long-term health.
