How does pet insurance work? 

Once you sign up for pet insurance, there’s a brief waiting period, of up to 15 days, before you can start filing claims. 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. Fetch will handle the rest. 

Step three: Get paid back! If you’re using direct deposit, you can receive up to 90% of your vet bills back in just 2 days.

What’s the average cost of pet insurance? 

At Fetch, we believe in “your pet, your price” and let you customize your pet’s monthly pet insurance plan. Using the same data points that power our patent-pending tool, Fetch Forward™, we determine the most accurate pricing based on your dog and cat’s breed, age and your location. Here are some other ways you can customize your monthly payment:

Maximum annual payout

This number is the maximum dollar amount you can be paid back per policy year. The higher your max annual payout, the more you'll pay per month.

Deductible 

You're responsible for paying this fixed dollar amount before your insurance kicks in. Higher deductible plans have lower monthly premiums.

Reimbursement

Or, the percentage of each covered vet bill you’ll be paid back before you meet your deductible. The higher your reimbursement rate, the more you’ll pay per month.

How much does dog insurance cost? 

On average, Fetch dog insurance plans cost around $35 per month. Are you signing a puppy up for pet insurance? The monthly cost may be even lower. 

How much does cat insurance cost? 

Fetch cat insurance plans are slightly lower than dogs at around $25 per month (and can be lower for kittens).
