LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) September 15, 2022
The 2022 Pet Independent Innovation Awards, an independent recognition platform highlighting the most innovative companies, services, and products in the highly competitive Pet Care industry, today announced MetLife Pet Insurance¹ has been selected as winner of the “Pet Insurance of the Year” award.
The mission of the annual Pet Innovation Awards Program is to honor innovation and recognize the excellence, hard work and success in a range of Pet Care industry categories, including Apparel, Grooming & Cleaning, Food & Treats, Health, Housing, Toys, Training, Retailers & Services and more. The 2022 Pet Innovation Awards attracted more than 2,000 nominations from around the world.
Market trends show that the Pet Insurance space continues to grow as ownership and overall concern for pets’ well-being continues to rise. As consumers become more educated, Pet Innovation is recognizing MetLife Pet Insurance for standing out in the market with their deeper coverage and many value adds.
MetLife Pet is the only provider offering family plans which allow up to three pets to be on the same policy and share the deductible.² They also offer protection for all stages of a pet’s life with no breed exclusions or upper age limits and coverage for pre-existing conditions when switching providers.³
“Many pet parents are unprepared for emergencies. It’s reported that one in three pets need emergency vet treatment every year and 56% of pet parents can’t afford emergency care for their pets. Pet insurance can help take the worry out of covering unexpected pet care costs,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Independent Innovation Awards. “MetLife Pet Insurance helps take the worry out of covering the cost of unexpected vet visits so pet parents can focus on what matters most, their furry family members. Congratulations on winning ‘Pet Insurance of the Year.'”
MetLife Pet Insurance coverage is simple, inclusive and flexible and enrollment consists of a simple 3-step process. Preventative care coverage can be added and is included in the annual benefit limit.⁴ Coverage includes exam fees, diagnostics and prescription medications. MetLife Pet plans are flexible and allow pet parents to customize deductibles, annual benefit limits and reimbursement percentages so they work best for their pet’s needs and their budget.

Key features include policy management, pet health record keeping, submit and track claims, locate nearby pet services, access to 24/7 vet chat and personalized articles. It also offers access to the MyPets rewards program providing eligible policyholders access to discounts and offers on pet care related purchases.⁵
