2025 Pet Insurance

Penn State recognizes that for many of its employees, pets are beloved companions, but they can also experience the occasional accident or illness. That's why we've decided to partner with MetLife Pet Insurance, which offers a variety of coverages designed to fit your budget and your pet’s needs. Faculty and staff are able to customize their pet insurance plans based on their needs. Payment for coverage will be direct between MetLife and the employee via EFT, debit card, or credit card. Faculty and staff can enroll in this insurance at anytime, no election is required in Workday during Benefits Open Enrollment.

Features:

• Choose from flexible coverage options
• Visit any licensed U.S. veterinarian and be reimbursed up to 90% of the cost of services
• Receive discounts up to 30% and additional offers on pet care, where available
• Get coverage of previously covered pre-existing conditions when switching providers
