Why Do You Need Pet Insurance for Your Dog?

Pet insurance can help reimburse you for your dog's covered and approved vet bills, which may help you worry less about your finances and focus on what really matters — your dog's health.

The yearly cost of health-related expenses for dogs can range from $534 - $1,285.1

That means you might spend upward of $19,000 just on medical care over the course of a dog's 15-year life.

Or you could pay a premium starting at $15 a month for a dog insurance policy2 that can help reimburse you for costly medical expenses.

A MetLife Pet Insurance policy can potentially help you save, allowing you to make decisions about your dog's health without cost being the deciding factor.

Recent Reviews From Pet Insurance Review

MetLife Pet is a great choice

I analyzed at least 10 other insurance companies, and MetLife Pet insurance far exceeded the value of all other insurance companies. All of the companies had caps whereas MetLife Pet was a straight 90% (you can choose a less % for a lower premium) on all claims after your deductible has been met. It was a no-brainer. MetLife Pet makes the claims process seamless.

One less thing to worry about!

When your loved one, in this case your dog, is sick, you have so many things to worry about. One of them may probably be affordability. MetLife Pet Insurance is great! Customer service is helpful with all my questions. They work with your vet office to get all the necessary paperwork to process your claim.

Easy claims process and quick payment

I sent the claim in and heard back a few days later that it was accepted. Payment was on the way a couple days later. Not too difficult to do. Thank you!

I saved so much on the unexpected

I am glad I decided to get this. Since I have started this insurance my dog has had ACL surgery, started seasonal allergies, and has had a clogged tear duct procedure. Usually we are only at the vet once a year for shots! This saved me so much money for all that unusual stuff that happened this year. I have been telling all of my family and friends to get it.

MetLife Pet offers great wellness benefits

This is my first dog ever. I adopted him as a 7 year old rescue. Being older myself, I knew health care is important. I did a lot of research and MetLife Pet offered the most benefits, including wellness. They are quick to get to, easy to file claims, and even include flea, tick, and heartworm meds all under one deductible. I am very pleased

I was able to give my dog the best care

This company has been absolutely fabulous to deal with since I first signed up with them. My Australian Kelpie is a rescue. Shortly after we got her, she developed a cancerous kidney and had to have it removed. MetLife Pet took care of the claim in record time, and each time the sweet old girl has had an issue, their settlement time and payout

We don’t have to fear paying vet bills

Having 3 dogs is already expensive, and finding affordable coverage was mind-numbing. We had another company for a few years but could only afford accident/routine care. Even then, they found a reason to deny or lowball almost every claim. Since switching to MetLife Pet, we've had one dog hospitalized and another began treatment

Emergency vet costs nearly covered!

A new puppy means everything goes in the mouth despite being crated and watched like a hawk. Well, something hurt her GI tract and she had fluids coming out of both ends. An emergency hospital visit and 4 days later, the vet bills were over $5,000! Thank goodness I had MetLife Pet insurance! Once I submitted a claim online and uploaded
