Pet Insurance

No matter what unpredictable antics your furry family member gets into, your family isn’t complete without them. With pet insurance, you can feel confident that their health and your wallet are protected if you’re faced with an unexpected trip to the vet.

Here's what you need to know

This plan reimburses you for your eligible veterinary visits and other pet healthcare expenses, helping make quality care for your pet more affordable for your budget. 

 

With MetLife Pet Insurance,1 you get cash back for a percentage of the cost of your pet’s medical needs.

 

  • Flexible coverage with up to 90% reimbursement2 and freedom to visit any U.S. licensed vet
  • Only provider to offer family plans,3 covering multiple cats and dogs on one policy
  • 24/7 access to Telehealth Concierge Services because accidents and illnesses don’t always wait for your vet to be open
  • Discounts up to 30%4 and additional offers on pet care, where available
  • Optional Preventive Care coverage5
  • Coverage of previously covered pre-existing conditions when switching providers
  • MetLife Pet mobile app to submit and track claims, manage your pet’s health and wellness, and find nearby pet services

 

Coverage includes costs associated with:

 

  • Accidents like broken bones, sprains, lacerations, and poisoning
  • Illnesses like allergies, ear infections, arthritis, and cancer
  • Diagnostics, surgeries, hospitalization, and more

 

These examples are just a few of the many conditions covered by the plan. There is far more covered than not covered, but there are limitations. See your policy documents for more details.

Your pet is a member of your family, and you don’t want to postpone or avoid care for them because the bill will break your budget. That’s why this pet insurance option – a comprehensive plan at an affordable price – is a great solution.

 

This coverage can be essential for any pet owner who wants to keep their pet in good health and top shape with routine visits to the vet. And it can be even more essential if your pet develops a chronic illness or is involved in a serious accident.

 

When you have pet insurance, you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your beloved pet can see their favorite vet and that you can afford the treatment, tests, and prescriptions they deserve to get well.
