Veterinary professionals can share these results in discussions with clients regarding pet insurance, aiding them in making informed decisions. Additionally, this may help alleviate the financial burden that many clients encounter when faced with the high costs of necessary treatments.
"These numbers really tell the story — pet insurance is a crucial lifeline for your family's financial and pet health needs," said Brian Macias, CEO of Embrace Pet Insurance, in a company release.1 "With vet costs on the rise, the importance of having coverage is clearer than ever. We're here to make sure pet parents can choose the best care options for their pets without financial stress."

"Embrace's impact was crystal clear when my cat was diagnosed with liver disease this summer," shared Allie, an Embrace member. "The diagnosis was quick and unexpected, and I had to make a life-or-death decision on the spot. I called Embrace from the animal hospital, and they approved the claim as emergent care right then and there. Thanks to their prompt support and guidance over the phone during the emergency approval process, I could afford the necessary treatment, allowing my cat to fully recover.”1
