Don't buy Metlife pet insurance … Until 6 months ago I was happy with Metlife but now I am receiving the same runaround as everyone else. I am repeatedly told to resubmit the same documents, the phone staff say that they have everything and that they are "making a note" for the claim reviewers, then 3 days later another 4 am email telling me to submit paperwork. Their latest game is requiring proof of previous insurance, even for brand new conditions and illnesses. If a health insurance company for people tried this they would be fine and shut down. The middle of the night emails are making me think that claims processing has been outsourced to overseas contractors. I would avoid Metlife at all costs!

I've had MetLife for a year and a half & I'm appalled by the bad reviews, reminds me of paid hacks posting negative reviews on Yelp I've had MetLife for a year and a half. Every claim has been paid, the longest I've had to wait was 2 weeks. They pay for all parasite % heartworm preventatives, with wellness they pay 100% of vet visits and they pay what the vet charges, not some silly limit like $150 for a spay/neuter that you see with some companies. I'm not sure why all the negative reviews but I can't believe they have gotten that many complaints, they have been great!

Don't do what they advertise I made a total of 3 claims since paying over $1000 for my annual policy when I got my puppy. Only one of the claims, which is was very simple, processed in the 10 day window they claim on their website. I had to call to ask them to process one of them after 14 days and will now have to do the same for my third claim. There is no other way to get a response outside of calling. The live chat on their website is never open, even within their stated operating hours. They do not respond to emails or inquiries submitted using the contact form. They do not appear to have enough staff to operate according to their stated procedures. To their credit anyone I have spoken with by calling has been very helpful. EDIT: The person I spoke with today verified that complicated claims often take up to 15 days and that the policy fine print states up to 30 although that is very rare. Now that I know this, I can adjust my expectations and stop wasting my time calling. The company should change the website to reflect actual practices. There is no point in stating a 10 day window online if it's not true. Likewise, there is no point in having a "live chat" or email option if they are not functional. Pretending to offer what you do not reflects a lack of transparency and fosters mistrust. EDIT, response to company: I've already given clear feedback here and in multiple emails to you that you ignored. There is no mystery. If you want more of my time, you'll need to pay me.

MetLife pet insurance - horrible MetLife pet insurance sucks. I had NAtionwide and was lured into Metlife by lower premiums. However, they are very very slow to process claims and to pay. They so made some unfair assessments, and despite a letter from my vet, explaining Metlife’s misunderstanding, they denied the claim. I never had an issue with NAtionwide ever.. After this review posted, MetLife asked that I email them to discuss further. I have wasted 2+ hours already on trying to communicate these issues, not to mention my vet’s time responding (they were appalled by MetLife’s decision). MetLife’s response is an attempt to make their company look helpful but would amount to nothing. Steer clear.

I submitted two related claims that keep getting put on hold... I submitted two claims: the first for blood test, the second a week later for the procedure. All I get is delay tactics...the want the medical records, which the vet and I both sent...the records were all encompassing for both related procedures. I was told via email all was received and now the first claim is back on hold "for medical records". My frustration level is hitting the roof.
