Pet Insurance 101
When considering signing up for pet insurance, it can feel overwhelming to sift through all the coverage options and insurance jargon. At Fetch by The Dodo, it's different. We talk to people like people and make it clear what we do and don't cover. Here are all ways we'll be there for your cats and dogs.
Pet insurance is an excellent option for so many reasons. It allows you to agree to expensive procedures, medications and care, knowing that we'll cover up to 90% of your unexpected vet bills. And Fetch dog and cat insurance is the most comprehensive, too. Here’s what we cover:
Introducing the Fetch health forecast.
Once you sign up for pet insurance, there’s a brief waiting period before any health-related issue is covered. The waiting period is 15 days for injuries and illnesses and all specialty coverages. There’s also a 6-month exclusionary period before injuries of the hips and knees can be covered. You can waive the 6-month exclusionary period for knee conditions and disorders by having your pet examined by a vet in the first 30 days of your policy to determine and document that they don’t have any relevant pre-existing conditions.
After the waiting period, you're free to begin submitting claims. Here's how it works:
Step one: Visit any licensed vet in the U.S. or Canada.
Step two: Submit a claim on our app or website by taking a photo of your vet documents. We’ll handle it from there.
Step three: Get paid back! If you’re using direct deposit, you can receive up to 90% of your vet expenses back.
Unfortunately, no pet insurance providers cover pre-existing conditions, which include injuries or illnesses that showed clinical signs before signing up for pet insurance.
While Fetch pet insurance doesn’t cover the cost of spay or neuter procedures, we do cover any complications from the procedure (as long as the treatment happened within the effective start date of your policy, your pet has had a first exam and after the waiting period).
We’ve already mentioned that Fetch pet insurance is the most comprehensive, but feel free to browse our comparison pages to see how we stack up against other pet insurance providers.
So if your cat or dog ever experiences an unexpected health surprise or accident, Fetch pet insurance will be there to take some of the worries away. By covering up to 90% of vet bills, you can say "yes" to unexpected surgeries or treatments without focusing on paying for them.
Fetch pet insurance is not only the most comprehensive provider, but you can sign up (and cancel, though we hope you stay!) for free anytime. To learn more about why your pet should become Fetch protected, visit fetchpet.com.
