Embrace Vs. ASPCA Pet Insurance

1. ASPCA Pet Health Insurance has Itemized Limitations for Wellness Plans

Because of the per-item limits, any leftover funds in their set categories are lost if they’re not used. Plus, their two wellness plans don’t cover the same things, so it can be tricky to pick the best plan for you.

Embrace promotes, rewards, and encourages healthy pets by offering Wellness Rewards, an optional non-insurance product that reimburses for everyday veterinary, grooming, and training costs with no itemized limits. And our wellness covers all the same things no matter which limit you select.

2. Embrace Offers More Deductible Options that Work with Your Budget

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance only offers $100, $250, and $500 deductible options which can be limiting when it comes to finding the most affordable plan. Embrace offers deductible options up to $1,000 so that you can find the perfect plan for you and your furry friend.

3. Embrace Requires Less Medical History to Process Claims

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance requires a pet’s full medical records to process claims – that could go back many years! Embrace only needs the last 12 months of records or, for new pets, records back to the first visit you’ve had with them.

4. ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Doesn’t Review Medical Records Before Claim Time

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance does not offer any review of a pet’s medical records at enrollment, leaving it to be done when the first claim is filed. Embrace offers you an optional Medical History Review. If your pet has any pre-existing conditions, this review will let you know how they could affect your coverage moving forward.

5. Change Coverage Anytime with Embrace

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance only allows changes to coverage at the start of a new policy period (once per year). With Embrace, you can make changes to your coverage at any time.

6. Embrace Covers Those Extra Fees

Embrace Offers Options for Covering Extra Fees. Ever wondered why vet bills can sometimes be higher than anticipated? Embrace customers don't have to worry. We provide options to cover various additional charges that often appear on your bill—such as medical gloves, after-hours fees, office charges, and follow-up visits, to name a few. In a time when costs are on the rise, you shouldn't have to shoulder the expense of basic office supplies for your pet's care. Embrace makes sure these extra fees are covered, unlike many insurers who leave you to handle them on your own.

7. Embrace Covers Working, Law Enforcement, and Guarding Activities

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance doesn’t cover injury or illness that a pet sustains while working, including those in law enforcement and guarding. As long as you let us know that your pet is involved in any of these activities at the start of your plan, or when your pet becomes involved in one of these activities, Embrace will cover them.

8. Embrace Allows More Time to Submit Claims

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance requires claims be submitted within 270 days of the office visit. Embrace gives you your entire policy term, plus 60 days after it renews to submit claims.

9. ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Doesn’t Offer 24/7 Pet Health Line

ASPCA Pet Health Insurance does not give their policyholders access to Pet Pros round-the-clock, so if you have questions about your pet’s behavior, diet, or a possible emergency, you’d have to wait for your vet’s regular business hours. Embrace has partnered with PawSupport to give our policyholders access to Pet Pros 24 hours a day, seven days a week – even on holidays. And the best part is that this feature is included with every policy at no extra cost.

10. Explore the World with Your Pet, Worry-Free!

Embrace coverage ensures that no matter where you and your furry companion venture around the globe, you’re covered. Unlike many insurers, we provide the flexibility and freedom to travel internationally with your pet, as long as you live in the United States for six months out of the year. Why limit your explorations due to concerns about pet insurance? If you’re an avid traveler, make sure you understand your pet’s coverage.

11. Embrace Offers a Real Unlimited Pet Insurance Plan

Embrace offers an unlimited plan, which means there is no maximum on what we reimburse. In fact, we recently covered the largest claim in our company’s 17-year history for $48,000. Unlike ASPCA, which imposes restrictions on reimbursements, even for qualified claims, Embrace ensures you're fully protected. With us, you won't face unexpected bills or have to compromise on your pet's health due to coverage limits.

12. Embrace Doesn't Try to Lock You In

With Embrace, you have the flexibility to cancel your policy at any time, ensuring you're never locked into a commitment that doesn't suit your needs. In contrast, cancelling with ASPCA might require you to give a 60-day notice, potentially complicating your plans. Choose Embrace for hassle-free, flexible pet insurance that adapts to your life's changes, not the other way around.
