Embrace takes the top spot because its standard policy covers more than most rivals before you add anything. Dental illness such as periodontal disease, extractions and tooth resorption is covered up to $1,000 per policy year, and vet-supervised behavioral therapy plus rehab treatments like acupuncture, hydrotherapy and physical rehab are included. You set an annual deductible between $100 and $1,000, a 70%, 80% or 90% reimbursement rate, and an annual limit from $2K up to unlimited. Accidents are covered from the moment the policy takes effect, and the illness waiting period is two weeks. Embrace may also cover curable pre-existing conditions once a pet has gone 12 months without symptoms or treatment, which helps owners of pets with a past ear infection or UTI. The trade-offs are add-ons: exam fee coverage and prescription drug coverage cost extra, so the advertised premium does not include everything a typical vet visit bills.
