Embrace Pet Insurance
$20β$80/month
Embrace Review Summary
Embrace Pet Insurance, founded in 2003 and underwritten by American Modern Insurance Group, consistently earns top marks for comprehensive coverage without breed-specific restrictions. Unlike some competitors that quietly exclude conditions common to specific breeds, Embrace explicitly covers hereditary and congenital conditions from day one (after the waiting period). For Golden Retrievers prone to cancer and hip dysplasia, or French Bulldogs with respiratory issues, this distinction is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. The diminishing deductible β which reduces your annual deductible by $50 for every year you don't receive a claim payout β is a genuinely innovative feature that rewards healthy pets and loyal customers alike. Premiums are on the higher side, especially for senior pets, but the comprehensive coverage typically justifies the cost.
