Cost vs. Care: Embrace Pet Insurance Survey Highlights Essential Role in Modern Pet Care

CLEVELAND, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Embrace Pet Insurance, a top-rated pet health insurance provider for dogs and cats in the United States, released compelling findings from its recent survey of over 12,000 of its insured pet parents. The survey explored a variety of topics from veterinary care and wellness to pet technology and lifestyle habits, underlining the essential role of pet insurance in not only maintaining the health and happiness of pets, but also serving as a life-saving tool.

Key Survey Findings:

• 67% of respondents have faced veterinary bills so high they would have struggled financially without pet insurance.
• 91% believe that pet insurance enables them to provide better care for their pets, potentially extending their pets' lives.
• 66% said that having pet insurance allowed them to get their pets the care they needed, that they otherwise might have had to decline due to cost.
• 55% of Embraced-pet owners have established workout routines that include their pets, reflecting a growing trend in pet health and wellness activities. 

The survey also noted a significant engagement with pet wellness and nutrition:

• 67% prioritize their pet's health and nutrition over their own.
• 46% prepare or purchase homemade, human-grade meals or treats for their pets.

"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. "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. I couldn't have done it without Embrace."

Adding a touch of humor to our findings from our "Just for Fun" category, it turns out that 45% of Embrace customers have used their pet as an excuse to get off a work call or leave a meeting early.
