What Does Fetch Cover?

This insurer offers coverage for a wide range of expenses related to medical conditions or accidents. You can get reimbursed for basic pet-related costs such as vet exam fees, injuries (fractures, laceration, etc.), common pet conditions (digestive problems, infections, etc.), emergency care, hospitalization, CT scans, ultrasound, surgeries, rehabilitation therapy, diagnostic tests, treatment for cancer and other diseases, etc.

Additional procedures included in the insurer’s plans are dental illness expenses, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, behavioral therapy, and chiropractic therapy.

One of the peculiar services this company provides, which you can’t find in other competitors, is coverage for lost pets. If your dog or cat gets lost and you invest money in advertising to find them, you can ask for a reimbursement. Moreover, the company will also help you pay the reward if someone finds your pet.

The company offers unlimited coverage and the ability to personalize your maximum coverage limit. The minimum coverage is $500.

Another highlight is the service’s availability. It allows you to get reimbursed for any licensed veterinary in the United States or Canada.

Fetch Pricing Plans

Fetch allows you to customize your insurance policy according to the expenses you want to get coverage for. The price of your policy will depend on your pet’s age, species, breed, and your location. For example, small mixed breed adult dog insurance can cost around $20 per month. This applies to a policy with maximum coverage of $5,000 and annual deductibles of $500. The insurance plan has your pet covered in case of accident, illnesses, sick visit exams, diagnosis tests, surgery and rehabilitation, virtual vet visits, breed-specific conditions, specialist vet visits, and some dental conditions. The company doesn’t cover grooming, or preventive care expenses. You can also enjoy different discounts if you insure more than one pet.

Why We Chose Fetch 

Fetch pet insurance offers a series of advantages that drew our attention. Although this insurer doesn’t focus on prevention add-ons, it offers extensive coverage for illnesses, accidents and wellness plan add-ons. It also offers an intuitive and resource-rich website and excellent multi-channel customer support.

What Is Missing

Fetch doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions, breeding, pregnancy, nursing, elective procedures, and experimental therapies. Some services you can find in other insurers as add-ons but are not available with Fetch include grooming services, teeth cleaning, annual check-ups, treatments for parasites, and vaccines. Spaying and neutering are also unavailable.
