Exam fee coverage

Many pet insurance companies don’t cover the cost of the exam fee – that’s like having to pay an extra deductible for every claim. Embrace covers the exam fee for all covered accidents and illnesses.

How your dog insurance plan is built

Some factors that determine pet insurance plan cost can’t be changed. But Embrace lets you customize other elements to build the best dog health insurance policy that fits every budget.

Breed

Certain dog breeds are prone to different genetic conditions and the premium reflects that.

Age

Aging pets are at higher risk and cost more to insure since they are more susceptible to injuries and illnesses.

Icons Illustrative Location

Location

Veterinary rates change based on where you live. We take location into account to give you the best deal possible, as this will affect what you pay for your plan.

You choose

Annual Deductible

We offer a few different deductible options. Choosing a higher deductible plan allows you to pay less for your pet insurance.

Reimbursement

When your pet goes to the vet, we reimburse a percentage of what you paid for care. If you choose an insurance plan with a lower reimbursement percentage, your insurance payment will be smaller.

Big dogs mean bigger vet bills, so we recommend picking this based on your dog’s needs and size.
