What is Fetch Pet Insurance?

Fetch Pet Insurance is a pet insurance company that covers visits to any licensed vet in the U.S. or Canada, including specialists and emergency hospitals. The company offers one comprehensive plan for your dog and cat, giving you choices for your reimbursement rate, deductible and annual limit.

Once you visit the vet and pay for the visit, you can submit a claim using Fetch’s website or app and get reimbursed up to 90% via direct deposit in as little as two days. Fetch is based in New York City and covers over 450,000 pets (and counting).

How does Fetch Pet Insurance work?

Getting pet insurance with Fetch Pet Insurance is a simple process. You first request a quote online or over the phone, giving information about your pet’s age and breed and where you live. You’re then given a wide variety of annual coverage and deductible choices. Fetch gives customers additional flexibility by offering a one-on-one call to its customer care team to provide the best options, including unlimited annual coverage.

When you get Fetch pet insurance, you’re eligible for coverage at any licensed vet in the U.S. or Canada after a waiting period of up to 15 days (other waiting periods may apply). To submit a claim, you need your pet’s medical records and a paid itemized invoice from the vet. You can use Fetch’s app or the portal on its website to file a claim. Within 24 hours your claim is assigned to an agent. Fetch either approves it and starts processing payment or denies it and lets you know why. You can cancel at any time.

Fetch Pet Insurance prices

Fetch Pet Insurance costs an average of $35 per month for dogs and $25 per month for cats. The cost of your Fetch pet insurance depends on whether you have a dog or cat, its breed, its age and where you live. Your deductible, reimbursement percentage, maximum annual payout and whether you pay monthly, quarterly or annually also affect the premium.

We requested an insurance price for a 3-year-old, medium-size mixed-breed dog in Austin, Texas. The most popular plan — with a $300 deductible, 80% reimbursement rate and $15,000 maximum payout — was $37.78 per month.

At the time of publishing, Fetch Pet Insurance also offers several discounts. Once you’re a Fetch member, you can save by being claim-free.

Fetch Pet Insurance FAQ

Does Fetch Pet Insurance coverage start immediately?

No, Fetch Pet Insurance coverage doesn’t start immediately. The waiting period in most states is up to 15 days for accidents and injuries. There is also a six-month waiting period for hip and knee issues and a 12-month curable exclusionary period.

Does Fetch Pet Insurance cover vaccinations?

Yes, Fetch has an optional wellness plan that gives you three different tiers to choose from which include vaccine coverage.

Does Fetch Pet Insurance offer discounts?

Yes, Fetch offers a discount of up to 10% to those who adopt pets from a shelter, Walmart shoppers, AARP members, active and retired service members, owners of therapy and support pets and vets and employees of veterinary clinics. You can also save by paying quarterly or annually instead of monthly.

Is Fetch Pet Insurance worth the cost?

Having Fetch Pet Insurance could help you save on unexpected veterinary care expenses. Plans average at $25 a month for cats and $35 a month for dogs, and you have to meet an annual deductible of at least $250 before coverage kicks in. As with other types of insurance, there’s always a chance you won’t use it. Consider the likelihood that your pet will need nonroutine care and try to calculate the potential cost, then compare that figure with the total cost of pet insurance.

Is Fetch legit?

Fetch Pet Insurance is a legitimate pet insurance company that covers thousands of dogs and cats in North America. We like that its plans are comprehensive and its waiting period isn’t long. It’s also easy to get a quote. We recommend gathering quotes from multiple pet insurers and comparing plans before choosing which is best for your dog or cat.

    I've had Fetch Insurance since June 2025 and filing a claim is a nightmare! Every customer service person I talk to says something different but I submit everything I have for my claim and exactly what I was told to submit. About 2 weeks after I file I get an email saying they need more information and are waiting to hear from my vet. There is nothing more to submit and after calling again and again finally I might get some compensation but I was just told after waiting way over a month two claims are closed because of lack of information. Two of my friends told me they also have Fetch and go through the same but they're going to drop Fetch and go to Spot! I'm going to try one last time to get these claims taken care of and I'm also leaving Fetch. It's very discouraging and way too frustrating and then you don't often get anything they say in the policy. They rip you off basically! My advise is to stay away from Fetch!

    Absolute rip-off. We signed up with Fetch this summer for our new Mexican rescue dog. We submitted all requested paperwork and vet records that were sent with him from Mexico, and were quite extensive. Our account was approved and we received authorization to submit claims. In November our dog had his first claim, which was rejected as Fetch said we failed to obtain a vet check up in Canada or the US within 30 days of starting his claim. They continued to take our money each month, knowing that they would not approve any future claims. When I called to cancel, they refused to refund any of my premiums or acknowledge any fault. Zero stars. Scam.

      If you're thinking of using Fetch Pet Insurance, don't. I've been with Fetch for nearly two years and recently decided to cancel my policy, which was set to renew on Sunday, 1/11/26. I attempted to cancel on Saturday, 1/10/26, the day before my card was to be charged. But because Fetch doesn't have their phone lines open on weekends, I was forced to use their chat to try to cancel my policy. After being told several times by a chatbot that I needed to call in to cancel my policy, I finally found a way to connect with a human. As expected, the human told me I couldn't cancel my policy via chat and that I needed to call in to do so. I then emailed the support team to attempt to cancel and was told the same thing: I needed to call in to cancel my policy. I was then charged $93.82 the next day.

      Annoying, but I figured that because I had created a paper trail of wanting to cancel BEFORE my renewal date that I could just call in on Monday, speak to a human, explain my situation, and get Sunday's charges reversed. I was wrong. After over 20 minutes on the phone with "support," I was told that Fetch was unwilling to reverse my charges and retroactively cancel my policy because their terms of service state that all cancellations must take place over the phone (even though I had attempted several times the day before my renewal date to cancel my policy).

      If Fetch is going to force people to cancel over the phone, they need to be available by phone 7 days a week. Yes, I understand that I was bound to the ToS I agreed to when signing on with Fetch, but I figured the company would be willing to work with me since I'd requested cancellation before my renewal date. I was wrong.

      Fetch is a predatory company that enacts predatory practices. If you're reading this, know that Fetch's main goal is to extract every single dollar from you that it can. They intentionally make it impossible to cancel policies on weekends, and are unwilling to retroactively cancel policies and refund customers even if they'd submitted a request before their renewal date. My advice after two years with Fetch is simple: Go find another pet insurance company. I'm going with Progressive.

      We have insured two of our dogs with Fetch (formerly Pet Plan), one for 11 years (who is now 14) and the other for 5 years (he is now 10 years old.) They have paid most of our claims according to the agreed upon coverage, both large and small claims, including ER visits, imaging/specialists and major surgeries. Our premiums have gone up slightly every year, but increased significantly since the company was acquired by Fetch. This plan year the premium for our 10 year old dog went from about $180 per month to $320 per month! I cancelled the plan, as it is clear that Fetch no longer wants to cover our dog due to his diagnosis of a tumor on his spine. The premium for our 14 year old dog is now over $200 per month.

      Fetch is a business like all businesses and need to make a profit. They do not want to cover our pets when they will be making claims for a major or chronic health condition. After they pay one or two large claims, you will see your premium skyrocket. Then YOU will know it's financially wise to cancel and Fetch can say they didn't cancel your pet. When increasing our premiums more than $100/month for each pet this year, they used the excuse of "inflation in pet health care costs." Lies.

      After paying into the plan for many years, we did not nearly break even on our 14 year old dog's premiums paid because for the most part she has been healthy. For our 10 year old dog who has had health problems, we have received in paid claims about 85% of what we paid in for 5 years. We could have used a savings account in the same way so I do not find pet insurance to be valuable over time. I recommend doing what was recommended to me a long time ago. Put $1000 in an account for every new pet that comes into your family, then add $50/month from age 1-6, increase to $100/month after age 7. If you don't need the money to pay for vet bills, it's yours to keep! If you do need it, it's yours to pay for your pet's health care as you see fit, not evaluated by an outsider in the business to make money and invested for their profit.

      Run from FETCH!! Originally with Petplan, which was bought by Fetch. We have had our dog insured since 2015 as a puppy. Over the course of 11 years, we have made ZERO CLAIMS!!! Quarterly payments increased from $116...$161...$210...$260...$374... and now $502!!! DO NOT sign with FETCH. They will take your money and then price you out of your plan as your dog ages. Pet Plan gave 30% credits each year if you had no claims. Fetch rewards zero claims with a 94% increase in annual cost!! Honestly criminal.

      We didn’t find much use for this plan so we decided to cancel. My wife went to cancel and thought she did but we still got charged. She called back and they said they need the main policy holder to cancel. But they didn’t tell my wife that when she initially called. They won’t refund us the months that we wanted to cancel and thought we did. Disappointed in the customer service.

      If I could give this company a 0 I would. I have one of my dogs on this insurance and another with a different company. Each had their benefits so I thought I would try one each and see which one is better. Found out pretty quick. I rescued a pup and got the Fetch insurance right away because I never wanted to be in a situation where I could not afford the treatment. Thought it would give me piece of mind. I was so wrong. I have had him 4 months now and he is a very active sweetheart.

      One day he was eating and got spooked and choked in his food. The next day it appeared his back hurt. Took him to emergency vet thinking my insurance would cover it. I got denied everything because the diagnosis was back pain. It didn’t even cover the emerg appointment to get diagnosis. It took almost 2 weeks to get the denial.my other insurance takes 3 days max. By then I had done a recheck to test and verify everything was ok. He was fine after 5 days of meds and had I known he wasn’t covered he would never have needed a recheck. My dog is fine now but it cost me over $1200.

      Everywhere I looked it said a 6 month waiting period on hip and knee, not back pain. Had I know I would have gone with the other insurance because my guy is very active. I called today and they said it is all orthopedic conditions which include muscles/tendons/ bones/ligaments. Like what’s the point of even paying for insurance. I read the small print and sure enough….it is not right to advertise just hip or knee…. Terrible company. My other insurance is way better so far. But how is this right? Now because of this I will be excluded from any back related illnesses even though xray showed nothing and my dog was hurting in the back region… Stay away! I appealed but now I get to wait another month and the doctor didn’t give a definite diagnosis. She just said it was back spasm and if it didn’t resolve it could be IVDD. It resolved and he is doing great right now.

      I can't believe this company. Our 8 month old golden retriever puppy is showing signs of elbow and hip dysplasia and needs corrective surgery. Fetch is denying our claims because he's showing signs in the first 6 months of his life, how that is relevant is unknown to me. I understand insurance and know that the surgery will be expensive but that's why we bought their highest level just to be sure we're covered. We're not at all. Nowhere in the contract we signed does it mention this and they are absolutely denying any wrong doing. Meanwhile our little baby suffers because of their greed. Stay far away from them, our poor little Rollo is doomed because of them.

      Poor. There is a large deductible, and it is only a deductible for one issue. So, if you have a leg issue at one time, then a week later a heart issue, there is a deductible for each. And it resets each year. So most of the time it is unusable and a waste. We started at $25/mo and now we are at $260 per month (age 11). But over the years almost every item with our pet was routine and/or less than the $350 deductible, so the insurance wouldn't kick in. I would search for a better plan....

      I have had no claims yet and have been with them since 2017. The monthly premium started out at $25, but it is now $72.07 per month. I recently had a vet bill over $500, so I thought to look into the policy. The deductible is $1000 and the maximum payout per year is $10000. So, I am paying nearly $1000 a year for insurance that really doesn't cover much. It makes no sense for me to keep this policy. We'll see how the process of cancellation goes.
