What Does It Cover

If you take out a policy, your pet will be covered for:

  • Injuries and illnesses
  • Sick visit exam fees
  • Comprehensive dental
  • Breed-specific conditions
  • Emergency vet visits
  • Specialist vet visits
  • Diagnostic tests
  • Surgery and rehabilitation
  • Virtual vet visits
  • Imaging and ultrasound
  • Holistic and chiropractic care
  • Behavioral therapy
  • Cancer treatment

Insurance Plans & Pricing 

As with any coverage for pets, the price of your premium will depend on the breed and age of your pet, as well as your location.

For example, on Fetch’s site, when we entered the details for a 3-year-old small mixed breed dog with a New York zip code, we received a price of $19.66 per month. This price assumes a maximum payout of $5,000, a deductible of $500, and a reimbursement rate of 70%.

We then input the details of a 1-year-old Abyssinian cat and received a quote of $34.20 per month. This quote assumes a $15,000 maximum payout, a $300 annual deductible, and a reimbursement rate of 90%.

Note that these quotes were obtained in January 2022 and may be subject to change.

What Is Not Covered

If you take a policy, you won’t be covered for:

  • Flea/tick treatment
  • Spaying/neutering
  • Annual check-ups
  • Vaccines
  • Wellness exams
  • Grooming services
  • Teeth cleaning

Like almost all pet insurers, Fetch doesn’t cover any pre-existing conditions.

Waiting Periods

When you take out a policy, you’ll need to wait a set amount of time before you can make a claim. Although this period varies by state, it is never more than 15 days for most illnesses and injuries.

One exception is that you’ll need to wait 6 months before you can file a claim relating to your pet’s hips or knees. However, it’s possible to waive this period by having your vet examine your pet’s hips and knees and issue a clean bill of health within 30 days of taking out a policy.

Your policy will also include a curable exclusionary period, which means your pet will need to go at least 12 months without experiencing any symptoms of a curable medical condition in order for the condition to be covered.

Coverage Limits

When purchasing your insurance, you can select the maximum amount of coverage that you can receive per year, with options ranging from $500 to unlimited coverage.

Reimbursement and deductibles

When you take out a policy, you can also choose the level of your deductible, with the options being $250, $300, or $500. 

To get examples of the effect that deductibles could have on coverage, we ran a series of quotes on a 4-year-old mixed cat with a New York zip code, choosing a $1,500 maximum annual payout and an 80% reimbursement rate. 

DeductibleMonthly premium
$250$31.59
$300$29.48
$500$23.65

We then repeated this process for a 1-year-old Great Dane:

DeductibleMonthly premium
$250$104.24
$300$94.74
$500$75.76

These quotes were obtained in January 2022 and may be subject to change.

Claims and Service 

To make a claim, you’ll need to submit a copy of your pet’s medical records and a paid invoice via Fetch’s website or mobile app. Once your claim has been received, it should be assigned to an agent within 24 hours and processed within 15 days.

If your claim is approved, you’ll receive your payment via check or direct deposit. With the latter, this typically only takes 2 days. 

If you have a question regarding your claim, you can contact the company by phone or by logging into your online account. Customer service hours are Monday to Friday, 8am-11pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday, 10am-6:30pm EST. Alternatively, you can use its 24/7 chatbot service if your question is more general.

Overall, we found the site extremely user friendly and were impressed by the clear explanation of its policies.

What You Might Like

Fetch offers generous discounts of up to 10% for pet owners who meet the following criteria:

  • Adopted pet from a shelter/rescue
  • Shelter/rescue employees
  • Walmart shoppers and employees
  • AARP members
  • Veterans/those in active service
  • Support, comfort, and therapy pets
  • Veterinarians/vet employees

You can also receive a discount of up to 30% if you go for a year without filing a claim.

What Fetch Insurance Could Do Better

As emergencies can happen at any time of day, some customers may prefer an insurer with 24/7 support.

Contact Details and Address

PO Box 1489, Bolingbrook, Il, 60440

T: 866-509-0163

E: info@fetchpet.com

Bottom Line

If you’d like to protect against potentially astronomical vet bills, Fetch offers pet owners a great deal. It enables you to visit any licensed vet in the US or Canada, and its fast payment system means you could receive your money back within a couple of days after your claim has been approved. Although it doesn’t offer 24/7 customer service, this isn’t uncommon with pet insurers and shouldn’t be a sticking point for most customers.

Felt valued
I had originally called in to cancel my policy due to a poor experience I had with this company last summer. I spoke to Denise at fetch and she gave me lots of information to help me see the value in my coverage. I will be taking her advice and doing more research so that I'm can get the most out of my coverage.

Attempted to submit a claim for a pae…
Attempted to submit a claim for a pae infection. After weeks of waiting, was "declined" because of missing documentation. After trying to get more info through the chatbot, was able to get a person who told me more documentation was needed about the start of the episode. I explained that all vet notes from the first visit related to the episode until the infection resolved were shared...so my case was reopened. 2 weeks later I was just informed that my claim was again declined because I didn't demonstrate that my pet had a recent check-up (prior to the infection). There was no mention that this was necessary in the instructions to submit the claim. And again - instead of "declining" just ask me to provide the proof of check up...I would have gladly done so. Bottom line - feels like they're doing everything NOT to collaborate..just want to avoid paying

A customer since September of 2020
A customer since September of 2020, I have paid over $4,000 in premiums for my two rescue Boxers. I recently decided that my dogs could benefit from a dental cleaning and had them prescreened by the vet. To my surprise the routine cleanings revealed that each of my dogs required additional work including dental extractions. The overall cost was $2100. Naturally, this expense was unplanned and I was caught off guard. The pre-screening my vet performed did not indicate there was a severe issue or need for extractions. Regardless, I made a claim for each pet and expected at least some reimbursement after copay's. The result of my efforts was multiple requests for documentation from my vet which I promptly responded to and remitted. I began to feel like I was getting strung along as the days were extending to weeks. The last straw was a request for records that predated my ownership of the pets, after all they are rescues and aside from the rescue performing initial veterinarian treatment and neutering / spaying, treatments and vaccinations, there is no history prior to ownership. My dogs are well cared for, generally healthy and promptly vaccinated on schedule and properly licensed. In short, my dogs are pampered and never neglected. Reading public reviews of Fetch revealed a pattern of denials that had me wondering, based on their denial of both pets claims, how, if ever I could reimbursed for anything? How is it a business can accept premiums and then deny a claim years later by stating a protocol was not initially followed? Wording for denial: "Your claim was not approved because your pet didn't have a check -up close enough to the start of your policy" (Patently false and records were provided) the denial goes on to state, "(By 'checkup' we mean a vet visit unrelated to your pet getting sick or hurt.) In the absence of a checkup, any illness or injury observed at your pet's first exam after the policy starts is excluded from coverage." My pets are generally healthy and have routine wellness checks when their vaccines are updated. I ma not sure exactly what more can be done. In my evidence based opinion, the services Fetch advertises is not a service they are prepared to adequately deliver.

Fetch is excellent
My husband and I have had our babies insured by Fetch (previously Petplan) for several years and this insurance company is top notch. Recently, my dog was just hospitalized for a whole week and Bryonna assisted us in getting the correct paperwork submitted since it was such a unique situation. She was so helpful and understanding. We are so glad we have Fetch when an emergency strikes. Thank you!

Run away from this horrible company
Run away from this horrible company. I paid insurance for a whole 2 months, and thought im good to go. My puppy is imported and has EU health certificate stating she was healthy and good on all vaccinations. After 2 months and for sure after the waiting period, she had a cherry eye. When I asked if its covered, they said no because its pre existing, i said no, i have proof through videos, photos, she was all perfect and not showing any signs. They said they wont cover it because I did not take her to a vet while she has all vaccinations done and she was perfectly healthy. Thats literally after 2 months of paying and an active policy. If they dont plan to cover anything, why charge me? Why not notify me that hey go get your dog checked for no reason? They’re a ripoff company and a shady insurance company. Glad its a minor condition and got rid of them early.

An absolute nightmare
I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Fetch Incorporated, Pet Insurance, and let me tell you, it was an absolute nightmare. This company not only operates as a shameless scam, but they also have no qualms about abusing people's privacy and changing policies whenever it suits them. It's nothing short of a money-stealing operation! Their customer service is appalling. When I finally realized Fetch Pet Insurance was a scam and called to cancel my policy, a year before calling again and $2,400 later, I talked to a Mendy, who consistently patronized and belittled me. Despite my request for a cancellation confirmation, Mendy refused to provide one. It was clear they wanted to hide their fraudulent activities. When I explicitly asked Mendy to cancel my account and ensure that I wouldn't be charged any further, she claimed to have taken care of it. However, she flat out refused to provide any confirmation for the cancellation. How convenient for them, right? I smelled something fishy at that moment. To add insult to injury, Fetch Incorporated makes it incredibly difficult to remove your credit card information from their system. Mendy insisted that I had to handle everything through my online account, but surprise, surprise - there was no option to delete my payment details. It's obvious they want to hold onto that information for their own benefit, even after cancelation. I was appalled by this blatant disregard for customer privacy and satisfaction. It became clear that Fetch Incorporated had no intention of providing genuine insurance coverage for our beloved pets. They are solely interested in preying on vulnerable pet owners and siphoning off their hard-earned money. I refuse to let this go unnoticed. I am determined to warn every contact I have about these despicable thieves and ensure that they don't continue to steal money from unsuspecting people. Furthermore, I will be filing complaints against Fetch Incorporated in every possible venue to expose their fraudulent practices. In conclusion, stay away from Fetch Incorporated, Pet Insurance, if you value your money and your privacy. They are nothing more than a scam operation, taking advantage of pet owners who genuinely care for their furry companions. Don't fall victim to this thieves and pet abusers.

5 stars all around!
I am so extremely happy with this insurance. This is my first time having insurance for my pet and puppy and I am so glad I did. We had a complication with a previous balance from another pet and made it a little tricky to explain and get the current pet reimbursed for services. They resolved the issue and made it right with me. I am extremely happy and satisfied with their service and definitely recommend them for your pets insurance. They offer 90% reimbursement and that is fantastic. They were also extremely kind when signing up and even when we had a slight issue they immediately fixed with great kindness. Highly recommend!!!!

RUN FROM FETCHPET
DON'T USE FETCHPET. They are the absolute worst. Firstly, they are nearly impossible to speak with. Their chatapp...AI, not a person capable of navigating any actual issue. Their phone line? It will hang up on you at almost every turn with automated responses (that are not up to date with your account). Be prepared to call back 3-5 times before you figure out which selections might actually get you to a person. And, by the way, you might only be able to leave a VM even if you do find the right selection. Most importantly, be prepared to have a difficult-to-navigate process from start to finish. Over the last half year I have submitted over $4k of valid claims and, despite having their highest level of coverage, only received less than $800 with no explanation of why. Before FetchPet took over Petplan, it was perfectly easy to see what was accepted, rejected, and in process. Now, whether on their app or website, it's nearly impossible to tell what's been reimbursed, what hasn't, and how to rectify it so your plan can actually be put to proper use. I have spent literal months navigating their 'customer service' to have a single check resent to the correct address (yet to be done), to have claims properly processed following a car accident that left me unable to do so until after their standard submittal time (it was agonizing and lengthy to provide them with all the information they required), and to now continue to follow up on why only 20% of my claims have resulted in received reimbursement. They clearly do not want it to be simple or easy to receive what you are owed. I’d like to add that their team has left the below standard message before I’ve received a reply to my most recent email or voicemail that were left before this review. So yet further demonstration of what they prioritize.

Having Fetch insurance has been a game changer!
Having Fetch insurance has been incredible! Recently, my pup has had an issue with vomiting, so we went to the ER with him. Because we have insurance, it made any suggestion the vet had EASY! Any test she recommended, we did because I knew we had the safety of Fetch behind us. When your pet is sick, it’s great knowing that no matter what the cost, it is doable because of the great coverage Fetch offers. The one thing I didn’t worry about, was the cost. How amazing is that?!? It is extremely easy to submit claims as well. I can do it all from my phone in only a few minutes. They keep me up to date with the progress of the claim and even though it says it can take up to 2 weeks, it has never taken that long. I highly recommend Fetch pet insurance to anyone with pets. I am highly satisfied!

Don’t wait get fetch now!
I’m glad I got pet insurance when I did. I’m even happier with the company I chose! Fetch has already saved me over $400 dollars and has me no longer worried about how I will pay vet bills. My dog was recently collapsed on the floor struggling to breath and with the help of his vet and my confidence in fetch my dogs bills are paid off! I only have a happy healthy dog left. I wasn’t worried about going into debt, because I knew fetch would reimburse me for his bills. It makes getting help worry free. The only concern pet parents should have is keeping their pet healthy. With fetch you can do that with confidence! You never know when an emergency is going to arise. It’s best to be prepared with an affordable and trust worthy company like fetch! Don’t wait get fetch you won’t regret it!

Peace of Mind with Aging Pets
Now that my dog is older, we've utilized our policy more than ever. She has arthritis, and is now on daily medication for the past 2 years. Every claim for her meds, required bi-annual bloodwork, X-rays, etc. have been easily filed, and approved without any unnecessary legwork on my end. I submit the needed information, and within a couple of weeks the money is deposited into my account. It's very set it, and forget it. My processes have always been easy, and stress free. It's a comfort knowing that getting the best care for my baby girl doesn't have to be compromised due to expensive treatments, and then having to jump through hoops to be reimbursed. Is insurance costly? Yes, but it is invaluable when you need it. ❤️

Fetch has been great
Fetch has been really great with handling the claims for my cat Harvey who became really ill with Pancreatitis and has had to also have several visits after a stay at the veterinary hospital. I have had the insurance since 2017 and had never had to file any claims until recently. However, when I did file the claims, they were processed promptly and with no real issues other than wanting records clear back to 2018 (so they had a complete medical history which is reasonable). My rates are going up by almost 39% for the renewal which is find kind of steep even with a higher deductible. On the other hand, my cat is a senior cat and the insurance has paid for itself with vet bills for my cat's recent illness. Word of advice -- make sure that you have your pet examined by the vet for an annual check up each year -- not just when sick or have an injury. If not, it is likely that claims will not be paid if they do not have records of the most recent examination. Seems that some people are confused, surprised, and even angry about this when they sign up and get upset when they will not pay. However, it is outlined in the policy documents (which should be read carefully -- especially related to pre-exisiting conditions). If this is done, they are great about paying your claims with the exception of prescription food/pill pockets, nail trims, wellness exams/vaccinations, etc. This type of insurance is primarily for major illnesses when vet bills can climb from hundreds to thousands of dollars in a matter of days if your pet becomes unexpectedly ill or injured. It really helps to get some money back after a stressful situation and is a relief that you can get the proper care for your pet without having to choose between your finances or the wellbeing/life of the pet that you love. It would be nice if pet insurance would offer paying vets directly after your deductible is met similar to human insurance -- rather than paying it all up front yourself.

Run as fast as you can! Do not go with this company. They make up every excuse under the sun to deny your legitimate claim. I went with them before AARP recommended, huge mistake. First time factor, then preexisting, then previously Dr records, then Dr said something wrong, any excuse they can did for and none are true. Absolutely disgusting. Need to be reported to insurance, all of us are not wrong. Sorry, was not preexisting, I did make it with in waiting period, you just don’t want to pay, well, I reported you to BBB. Then I was sick, so let time pass, I’m back, so either you pay or I’m reporting you to who you need to answer to or talking you to court. I’m an honest person, n will not be taken.

gotta give a huge shoutout to Fetch Pet Insurance for coming through when my buddy Finn needed emergency treatment. They didn't waste any time in processing my claim and covering the costs.

formerly a claim I had was handed poorly and took way to long. this time however, everything went smoothly and the claim was paid timely. perhaps they have revamped their system, or the prior time I just had the wrong person looking at it. this claim was for the same procedure, just different dog. thanks for getting your response time shortened

Brachycephalic Surgery
I have a dog that required brachycephalic surgery. I used the chat option in the app to ask question before hand about coverage on what was covered and what wasn’t. They were extremely helpful each and every time. I submitted my claim and it was approved in full and my reimbursement was in my account 9 days later. My dog is only 9 months old, so I haven’t had insurance for very long. A lot of people laughed at me for having pet insurance and I am happy to say I was the one laughing at them in the end. So, Thank You Fetch! My entire experience so far has been fantastic.

Great coverage but the rate of increases are astonishing
I have had my pup since 2019 and I did some research and had decided to get him pet insurance from Fetch (formerly Petplan). Best decision of my life since my dog has skin allergies. While they do not do direct billing, they are quick to review claims and I have no complaints other than the premiums. The more claims you make, the more premiums go up. I mean it makes sense that the premiums do I go up but the rate of increases are a bit astonishing.

huge waste of money, they will do anything to deny
paid into this plan for over 2 years and they gave us 5 different excuses why they couldn't cover my pets dental issue. i went through the policy and records of my pet with my vet before treatment and they assessed it should've been covered. for almost 2 months they went back and forth with us, each time giving a new and incorrect reason not to cover it (total of 5 different reasons which we would prove wrong and they would change the reason). customer service insisted at calling at a time when we are asleep (night shifts) and they immediately started the call being condescending and extremely rude. i’ve never had an experience this terrible & we are cancelling. huge waste of money and they will fight you for any reason not to cover. edit for their response: we gave you plenty of chances to rectify this situation. i will NOT be subjecting myself to your “customer service” ever again. we also see you tried calling 4 times in ONE morning, once again while we’re sleeping after night shifts, all because we gave you a bad review? where was this energy when we needed the service we paid for? it would take you days/weeks to get back to us during our claim. we have cancelled our plan.

Will do anything to deny claims
Im sorry I paid premiums to this company. My dog, a Labrador Retriever, has had a pre-existing condition which I know won’t be covered- EVER. But this company would not cover his annual well check because the vet did an ear check while there. This insurance company is a donation to their company.

Price jacking / blackmail
Fetch insurance is at it again. This time instead of trying to wiggle out of playing valid claims or running me through unnecessary hoops like getting RX for syringes, they simply just upped the premium >50% just like that, without any reason or context. Calling them, they claimed it's because "factors have changed", but refused to provide any detailed reasons as to what factors have changed. The only thing that changes is that the cat actually needed treatment, and they actually had to pay. Of course now I have a pet with "preexisting condition", which THEY KNOW, so they allow themselves to blackmail for 50% more this year (and who knows how much next?). In short: Fetch will insure your pet, as long as they don't get sick. Then they will just roll the costs over to you, because that's how they roll. I wouldn't trust Fetch long-term to not continue acting in bad faith and in the best interest of their bottom line rather than their customers and their pets. Update after Fetch response: I did try to contact your support, and your representative were unable or unwilling to provide detailed reasoning behind a 50% increase in premium. To your point- I have been paying A VERY expensive premium for many years, on the expectation that if my got sick, it would have been worth it. I did not expect my insurance company to underhandedly try and extort me for 50% premium increase when my pet needed treatment. The way you do business is not customer-friendly, and everyone considering your insurance should know how you conduct yourself.

I NEVER recommended Fetch to anyone!!!!!! I opened a claim for reimbursement of a hospital emergency for my dog that was vomiting and with bloody stools, and it was denied claiming that it is pre-existing conditions because it had a previous diarrhea less than 1 year ago. But an emergency occurred, not a precondition. My dog does not have any illnesses, as seen on its record, it had diarrhea and vomiting. When a human goes to the hospital with diarrhea and vomiting isn't it an emergency? Why is it diferent for a dog?

Denied claim from SPCA adopted cat
I adopted my 4 year old, healthy female cat from the SPCA on 12/28/22. I purchased insurance from FETCH at the SPCA that day. On 3/9/23, my cat became ill. I called 3 vets to get an appointment. The soonest available appointment was in 4 days. Rather than wait, I took her to an urgent care Vet on 3/10/23. I submitted the Vet's paperwork and receipt with my claim within 2 weeks of her visit. I received a request from FETCH's claim reviewer about 2 weeks later. To complete their review, FETCH needed evidence of a recent medical exam that would indicate she was in 'good health' dated no more that 6 months before the date of her urgent care visit. I submitted a copy of the cat's 'Complete Medical History', given to me by the SPCA, a 2-page health summary which included: Identification, Vaccine history and due dates, Treatments history and due dates, Diagnostic tests, and a complete physical exam by the SPCAs own veterinarian. My claim was denied, because there were 'no notes' on the exam. I went back to the SPCA to get any additional information they had. The SPCA confirmed that their vet had seen my cat and gave her a clean bill of health. In fact, the SPCA even spoke with FETCH and my claim was still denied. After a few more weeks, FETCH's inhouse team, tasked with denying payment of claims, did some indepth research. Much to my suprise, FETCH discovered that the SPCA VET is a licenced Vet technician--according to her linkedin profile. This infuriates me even more. The SPCA, who sold me the insurance, and likely gets a kickback from the sale of the policy, told me their "VET" examined the cat and gave her a 'clean bill of heath.' So the way I see it, the insurance company and the non-profit are in kahoots together, and the little guy gets burnt. Do your homework, these companies are scams. AND I will never donate to the SPCA again.

Current Experience Much Better than Past
I have had some issues with Fetch in the past re: the timeliness of claim reimbursement and their automated phone system is far from easy to navigate. This time around I must say my experience has been essentially flawless thanks to a team member named Kayla. Kayla was responsive over emails and even returned phone calls over the course of my claim being looked at. Kayla alone has pushed this review to 5 stars.

Working with Fetch by Dodo for pet insurance has been a positive experience and is very easy to navigate when filling claims. If I have a question, I can email or call in and typically have an answer within 24-48 hours. I do find the chat portion a bit confusing as it’s automated, which makes it challenging to ask specific questions. I wish Fetch pet insurance covered routine check ups and preventative care.

Fetch Pet Insurance is a Fraud
Fetch is a fraud just like most pet insurance companies in this country. They plan to deny most claims and will simply keep spinning lies to explain the rejections. I took cat to vet for constipation and Fetch denied the claim because she allegedly had ottis externa last year. She had an ear infection last year (B4 I had Fetch) so Fetch denied her constipation claim this year. I fail to see the correlation. **Your reply is nonsense, if a check up is required than that should be stipulated and it wasn't, only that joint issues wouldn't be covered for 6 months unless a check up was done within 30 days of beginning policy. If that's the case you shouldn't have taken my money and led me to believe I had coverage. Yea your policies don't work cause there FRAUD!!!

Pet insurance is a must
Fetch, formally Pet Plan, has been our fur baby's company since 2018 when she was a puppy. We have two claims in that time. The last being just this year when she needed surgery on her eyelid. Fetch processed the claim quickly as you need to provide them with the history notes from the Vet. Pet insurance is mostly important for substantial Pet care. Not for nickel and diming the insurance company.

With the exception of having to resubmit documentation multiple times after the sudden death of my puppy (only 15 weeks old) from thrombocytopenia and lympathic leukemia, I was satisfied with the insurance reimbursement.

Customer service experience was above and beyond
I realized that the coverage I had just started with Fetch was not feasible to my 3 special needs dogs so I called into customer service to cancel the policy. I spoke with Sally Leonard and she not only reviewed my policy to see if any changes could be made but also advised of what questions should be asked of an insurance company to get my dogs covered for wellness visits in the state of Indiana. I have a puppy with preexisting hereditary issues and an adopted dog that has behavioral issues well past the normal scope. She talked to me for a while to get an understanding of my needs for a policy for my dogs and she was informative, kind and a true pleasure to speak with. She realized that there were no options of coverage suitable for my dogs with Fetch and put through the cancellation of policy I requested. I wish everyone performing customer service was as great as Sally! Thank you Sally for everything! You are the best 🤩

Been with Fetch for 6 years and 5 dogs
They have paid all claims. Support and sales are polite and well educated. If you are okay with the cost of dog health insurance, then this is a good company to go with. I did some digging, and the cost is similar across different insurance companies when you compare apples to apples. The one thing to keep in mind, and this is across all companies, is that whatever conditions were treated under one policy will become pre-conditions with a different underwriter. So effectively you are choosing an insurer for the duration as the other companies will not provide coverage for anything related to past claims which took place under a different one. Another lesser-known fact is that once you decrease the level of coverage you cannot increase it. So if you have unlimited 90% refund and change it to 10K 80%, you will not be able to go back. Additionally, premiums rise with veterinary costs and with the age of your pet. I'm told it is based on breed, dog's age, geographic area, and claims in that area (not the history of your particular dog). Fetch has discounts if you have no claims in the previous year, or in the previous 2 years. The discount is substantial. All companies, as far as I can tell are about the same regarding these things. We have had Fetch for 6-7 years for different pets.

Fetch honors the text of the insurance agreement in a timely and courteous fashion. Early in our coverage agreement I made a $1,500 claim. There was no hassle, no questions asked. They processed the claim in less than two weeks and deposited the money.

I got the support me and my dog needed
I have this insurance since they were Pet Plan, it had been amazing! I have a 11yo golden retriever with multiple skin masses, he had surgeries the last years and they had covered always. Last month we found a big lung tumor on him, that was cancer. :( I was devastated, he went to surgery, and all the tested, CT scans, x rays and surgery were not cheap at all. Fetch helped during the whole process approving all the procedures. I don't know what would have done to get that money in that short time. I am glad I've been paying the premium all this years. It has been expensive but It was worth it. They also respond in a good time. After you send all the documents of each procedure they send you the reimbursement in around a week. I was not so happy with the increases every year, they increased my premium a high% every year and without noticed. I know it might be due to the procedures and high risk of illness of my baby. However, at the end, is paying off. Highly recommended!

Because I mentioned at my 10 weeks old puppy’s first vet exam her eyes seemed a little watery( in the dead of winter) she did not find that to be so and said they where very healthy and nothing is wrong , she mistakenly wrote in her notes watery eyes. Fetch Pet considered her to have a pre- existing condition and denied her any eye coverage Even though I told them it was nothing and I had just mentioned it causally they asked my vet to write a addendum on her notes to ensure so . She wrote the truth that I had mentioned it and she saw nothing wrong with them and her eyes where very healthy they still insist it was a preexisting condition and would not cover ANYTHING to do with her eyes for the next two years .

Pretty sure this is a fraudulent company. The ONLY way they’ll cover anything is if you purchase the insurance the day pet is born and DOESN’T have any issues. I bought a Bichon pup that was 1 yr old, he came from a home where he was neglected. The day after a got him I took him to vet because he had issues from being not cared for; ears filthy and urine scalding on his belly. Also, born with congenital phimosis. All this was in September 2022. I paid for everything in cash I also paid for him to have three surgeries for his phimosis and that was over $6000. I never made a claim for his phimosis. Now seven months later he has an ear infection and they refused to cover it because when I purchased him he had an ear infection. I’m wondering what else they will be refusing to cover. I’m not sticking around to find out while they continue to collect my quarterly payments and not pay a dime on any claim. Cancellation of my policy is my next step.
