Pet Insurance

Administered by MetLife 

Pets are like family. When a member of the family becomes sick or injured, you do whatever it takes to fix it. However, paying for the vet bills when the unexpected happens can be stressful. Now you can protect your pet(s) like you do your other family members! LSU partners with MetLife to provide Pet Insurance to its employees and their furry family members. Pet insurance can help reimburse you for unexpected vet bills. MetLife provides insurance for pets of all ages — even seniors — and employees can customize their deductible and reimbursement rates so they work best for their pet’s needs and their budget.

Similar to health insurance, for you and your family, pet insurance is coverage for dogs and cats that can help you plan and be better prepared for vet costs. 

Yep! You can visit any licensed veterinarian or emergency clinic in the United States. You and your vet of choice can determine the best treatment plan and medical course of action for your pet. Once you have received and paid your bill, submit it to MetLife. They will process the claim for reimbursement if the claim expense is covered under the policy.

Each pet’s premium will be unique based on the age, breed, and location as well as the coverage options selected. There are additional discounts for multi-pet households and other factors. Employees interested in coverage must contact MetLife directly and be given a specialized quote.

This is not a payroll deducted benefit. Employees will pay via direct bill with MetLife.
