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.

Still have questions?

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.

      So far my experience with Fetch Pet Insurance has been positive. So far claims have been reviewed quickly and approved expenses are paid quickly. Not always happy about the amount covered but it is insurance mainly for major issues. Also it can be related to not truly understanding what is covered and limits associated, but you are good at providing advise on how better to get more out of my insurance which is appreciated.

      Fetch Pet Insurance makes economic sense as long as your pet is younger and has minimal illnesses and you want to minimize the costs of unexpected vet bills. Once your pet is older Fetch Pet Insurance will increase your premiums to the point that the required premiums are so expensive that it doesn't make sense to continue insuring your pet with Fetch Pet. As a professional accountant when I received my renewal policy for my 12 year old Morkie, I crunched the numbers and couldn't believe the new insurance premiums that were to be paid. I cancelled my policy immediately. So outrageous, so shameful.

      All this after over the past 12 years with Fetch Pet while my premiums paid always exceeded the claims paid to me. They don't care for your pet but for their profit maximization. When I contacted them their representative even agreed with me that the new policy costs makes no sense. They no longer want you as a customer. If numbers are not your strength, have someone calculate the insurance costs/benefits for you.

      I insured my elderly Australian Shepherd with Fetch for years. Then my dog developed cancer, and I learned how little financial protection the policy actually provides. My accident-and-illness coverage has a $5,000 annual payout limit, $500 deductible, and advertised 80% reimbursement rate. This year my dog underwent extensive cancer diagnostics and treatment. I incurred about $8,784 in vet bills and paid about $2,264 in premiums. Fetch reimbursed about $5,185, including wellness benefits. So yes, insurance saved me some money in an exceptionally expensive cancer year, but that is exactly when insurance is supposed to help.

      Now Fetch wants to raise my premium from about $189/month to $364/month, a 93% increase in one renewal. We have made the very difficult decision to stop cancer treatment, so next year is unlikely to be as expensive. If I had $3,000 in fully covered vet expenses, Fetch would reimburse about $2,000, while I would pay about $4,368 just to carry the policy. I would be about $2,368 worse off than simply paying the vet bills myself. The deductible handling was also awful. Because I moved states, Fetch changed my policy and reset my deductible. I ended up satisfying three separate $500 deductibles within 85 days while my dog was being diagnosed and treated for cancer. One resulting policy lasted only 52 days but still carried the full $500 deductible.

      Fetch also denied a $450 imaging claim as pre-existing. Later diagnostics showed a different cancer, but Fetch refused to reassess because more than 90 days had passed. I spent several hours reconstructing EOBs, premiums, deductibles, reimbursements, and policy changes because this feels fundamentally exploitative. I am cancelling Fetch and self-insuring instead. I urge anyone considering this plan to look very closely at what it actually covers and whether the protection is enough to make you feel financially secure.

      Two things that have stood out to me, are the fact that their processing time for claims are far too long compared to other companies. The worst thing? The staggering increases every year in their premiums. Our premiums went from $1336 one year to $2252 the next year, for a dog that’s 3 years old.

      The one time I called Fetch Pet Insurance, they didn't help. I am thinking about keeping them, but I don't know what they're good for or not. The one reason I had the whole thing was because it helped with vet bills. And they said, "You got this part. You didn't get this part.” They never told me that. When I first got in here, they told me, "This is all about this. And they help you with vet bills.” But they didn't tell me the rest of it, that you have to keep paying and paying for compartmentalized stuff. You end up paying a whole bunch. All you're doing is, with Fetch, when you sign up and pay your monthly dues, that's only for a minimal kind of insurance. I have not yet found a positive in that insurance. They have the medical that you can pick up. They also have the dental you can pick up. And they have this that you can pick up.

      I'd like somebody to call me and explain to me why it's so different from how I signed up, because I was promised medical and everything else. And it came in that little deal that they sent me, everything that I was promised. I told them about them. “Those plans change as we go along.” Unless you tell your customers, that's bull, and it's fraud.

After almost 4 years of paying for insurance, I am now without a policy with them, because they couldn't give a simple phone call. My phone number was on the account that my ex provided.

      This is the most dishonest organization I’ve ever dealt with in my entire life. They lied on the front end about what they provide, and what they don’t provide. I bought the entire package including their wellness program, which is a huge scam. When I went to cancel, the lady offered me a $25 coupon for their pharmacy if I stayed. Keep in mind I was there for a year and I went to get payment for my dog spay and they only pay $250. But don’t forget the deductible which eats up everything and don’t forget that they will not pay for anything else.

      This is the classic scam insurance company that gets you to pay all these premiums and then when it comes time to get what you need, they don’t pay you and they say go tell it to the state insurance board and see what happens go get a lawyer and sue us. These are dishonest, horrible people and I bought the entire package and had it for almost a year and it did nothing when I needed it for anything. This is my experience.

      Be prepared to pay your deductible twice every time you file a claim! Even if your pup goes to the emergency room doctor twice in one day, 500 dollar each time equals 1k dollars and they say it's because you renewed your policy last month but I have my policy on automatic payment so it won't lapse! Had the policy since Marchish 2025 never used until April this year and all of a sudden I renewed my policy! Makes no sense, why would this company take 500 for each claim! 70 payback is completely false and I'm done!

      I've never left a bad review in my life but I would give no stars if I could. False advertising! My pets pre existing conditions were not covered even though the website clearly states otherwise. My cats are rescues and their upper respiratory infection should have been covered since that is seen as an exception. This was not the case after reassessment and all claims were denied. This is unacceptable.

      "Over 50% of adopted pets suffer from one or more health issues just two days after leaving the shelter. That's why Fetch gives newly adopted pets coverage for the most common pre-existing conditions. It's included in your policy - no waiting period, no extra cost, no problem.

      When we got Lola, it was required that she have health insurance, and they said Fetch is the one that they used. If she was insured, they would only do a specific health guarantee on her because she's a toy Pomeranian. It's actually some kind of a lifesaver, so we just kept it. So far, it's been great. The first time that we used it, she wound up very, very dehydrated, and we weren't sure how that happened. So, we took her into urgent care, and she wound up having to stay overnight. We were reimbursed for so much. It was like 85% of her bill. So, that came in really handy.

      The second time that we used Fetch, Lola needed X-rays. She had a hip issue because they're very little. We took her for X-rays to get her medication and to be seen twice for that. It was expensive, but we were reimbursed for that, too. The reimbursement process didn't take long at all. We could do everything mobilely and upload everything. The whole process only took two weeks. I would recommend Fetch to anyone. We told my parents about it because it's so good.

      It's worth it because when you get a new animal, as they age, or accidents can happen, you can either pay out of pocket and not be reimbursed, or you can pay out of pocket and be reimbursed. The return of investment for that has been excellent. So, I've told everyone that if you get a pet, make sure you get pet insurance on your pet, specifically Fetch, because it's been the best. Our insurance for the car or house will also cover pets in certain situations, or you can get a separate pet policy, but I looked at those, and they were really not worth it. So far, Fetch has been the best value for the money.

      We had Pet Plan for years and were very happy with their service. We liked them so much, we took out policies for our 6 other animals and recommended the company to all of our family and friends. Then Petplan was bought by someone else and turned in Fetch Pet Insurance. The deductibles went from per pet to per condition. This means that you can expect sometimes thousands of dollars in deductibles in a matter of months, which is what happened to us. The reimbursement rates plummeted from 90% reimbursement to 70%. We weren't even given the option to pay more for the policy we had. The ability to take out a 90% reimbursement rate disappeared. The monthly cost increased of each policy increased. All in all, there is just not even any benefit to having this insurance.

      I am honestly surprised they are allowed to call themselves pet insurance. Their priority went from providing health insurance for pets to becoming an online rewards company. They honestly have no interest in providing care for pets and I expect the insurance to be phased out at any time. I have read tons of nightmare stories online about people who had their pet's policies canceled with no warning when their pets became old and sick. You are given no recourse other than to cancel the plan yourself, and by that time your pets are old and sick and cannot be insured with other companies due to pre-existing conditions. I would be extremely wary of doing any sort of business with this dishonest company. It's less insurance and more just a scam. Buyer beware.

I walk my golden retriever, so everybody loves him and I get to talk to them. “Hey, do you have pet insurance on yours? You ought to do it.

      I've had Fetch since it was originally Pet Plan. They were great...Until they weren't. They increased my deductible and decreased the amount of my coverage over the past few years. I'm a veterinarian and happily cover most issues without submitting anything but being a believer in having pet insurance. I keep it for the 'big things' including specialist visits. At this point, I'm paying far more than I'll ever see of benefit. I'd be better off saving the money for a rainy day instead of paying them.

      I was very excited to have a pet, and since Puppy Source offered Fetch Pet Insurance, I read up on what they said and set everything up online. It was a simple task to do. If I have to file a claim, I use the app on my phone, and it’s just a fingertip away. It’s very easy to use. I just screenshot the bill and upload it, answer maybe three questions at most, and that’s it. They usually get back within 24 hours, letting me know it’s been processed or completed, so it doesn’t take long, which is a big plus. But when it came down to my pet’s visit to the clinic, Fetch covered some but not all, and there is a deductible that has to be met according to the plan. My pet is a Maltipoo with allergies, and Fetch doesn’t cover shots for allergies.

      If I had read more information about Fetch before joining for a year, I would have done more comparison with other pet insurance companies. I’ve seen other pet insurance with lower deductibles and even plans around $9.99 with better coverage for the first year. I’m not going to knock Fetch down on that, but I would look for companies that cover routine shots and offer a cheaper deductible.

      We adopted our dog from North Shore Animal League. They gave us two names of insurance companies that they use, and they said the best one they always use is Fetch.

I have asked other people what they have, and when I tell them how fast we get reimbursed or the deals or incentives Fetch emails us, they complain about their insurance company.

I'm not really computer savvy and I usually have to have my 12 year old niece with me to help me through things, but I did it all on my own. I was so proud.

      Communicating with Fetch has been very easy as well. A few months ago, my financial situation changed, and I had to lower my coverage. I called them, and there was no pressure. They changed it for me, and I was good to go. I already have told friends about Fetch. I told them for the amount of coverage they get compared to the dollar value, it is way better than the other ones that I was researching. I was looking into Pumpkin but and it didn't cover 40% of the stuff that's covered through Fetch.

      We got a puppy August of last year. We didn't even think about pet insurance, but in talking with my neighbors who got puppies also, they all have Fetch. One of them did the research of all the pet insurances because they had a major issue with their dog that they had to take care of. It was a surgery. He said he submitted the claim, and there were no questions. Fetch paid it. We looked into Fetch and signed up as well.

      Fetch gives you all kinds of other information about your dog, its breed, and things to look out for in that breed. They also have a virtual vet that you can ask questions to, and they will respond. I asked a question about our dog liking to eat grass and they said that’s common. They said that if your dog is not throwing up or has diarrhea, they eat grass for that reason. Some do it because they like grass. Some do it because it has nutrients in it that they may be missing. But they also tell you the things to watch out for if it's a negative thing. They also give you information about training and different things that you can do with your dog, like how you can give them treats, or if you want to give them something other than dog food. They tell you things that are okay to feed your dog.

      So far, so good. When we had our first visit with our vet with our pet's well care, they said Fetch is a good one. We've had two claims since, and they paid them. He had an eye issue and an intestinal issue that he needed medications for. Fetch paid them both. We paid out of pocket first and we had 90 days to submit our claim. I then submitted the claim which was really easy because you do everything online. Then I had it set up that my reimbursement would go back to my bank account. I got an $80 and a $100 reimbursement.

      Fetch doesn't cover the full cost, but it's better than having to pay completely. They've handled our claims well within 30 days. I didn't even realize it until I was checking my bank account that I had two deposits from Fetch. I would tell others to check them out. You can check them out before you sign up for the insurance ‘cause a lot of their stuff is on the website to let you know what they do, what it's about and what they offer.

      I got a pet, and I never had a pet before. My friend told me about her insurance which was Fetch, that it was really good and affordable. I looked up the reviews online, and I liked it. The first week that I had my pet, I had to pay out-of-pocket for his checkup, vaccines, and a lot of exams that he had to make sure that he was a healthy puppy. They also told me that he needed a second round of vaccines in a couple of months. Paying out-of-pocket was gonna be a lot and painful every time I come or if he gets sick. I thought I'd rather pay the insurance so I don't pay 100% out of pocket.

      Signing up with Fetch was so easy. I did the questionnaire online and it took me about 10 minutes. They asked for medical records that I had to collect for on my pet. It was not at the enrollment time, but eventually, I had to add them up so the enrollment was easy. I am so thankful that I got Fetch because a couple months later, when my pet had an injury, he had a surgery. That surgery was very expensive, so if I would have not had insurance, I would have had to pay 4,000 out-of-pocket. Part of my policy is preventative care as well. I was so happy that my friend told me about Fetch and that I went to go get it. I understand that sometimes my claims get denied. I understand the policies that they have and it has been positive so far. They are fast responders, so I have liked the service, and I will continue to renew for next year. I recommended my sister to get Fetch as well.

      I got a new dog, and I had heard it was important to start the dog young on pet insurance. I checked out Fetch and a bunch of other providers, and Fetch had the best coverage for the price. So far, it's been good. I've used it to cover certain costs for annual visits. When my pet was neutered, I was using Fetch at that time, and the payout worked very well. I paid for it then I got reimbursed. My only question is how much is Fetch per month?

      This company is a waste of money. They do NOT pay out claims - they are difficult to deal with - and to be honest - they are a total scam. DO NOT USE THEM!!!! You pay monthly - then when you submit a claim - they deny it. I have tried with 2 pets - and they won't pay - for no valid reason. I don't think they ever pay out any claims!!!!

      I was online for a pet insurance for my new pug baby. I have perks with my job and I was doing a comparison between that one and another one that they offered. I signed up with Fetch and whenever we have to file a claim, everything is done online. We submit the receipt via the app and they determine what's reimbursable and what's not. Then they reimburse us through the account which we pay for insurance. I'm grateful to have the insurance to help offset some of that cost. I have two children, and having a pet is like having another child in the house. I would recommend Fetch though what's reimbursable for and why is something I would want more of a conversation with. I want to get explanation on what makes certain things reimbursable by that amount or this amount, as opposed to full amount or different percentage of amount.

      I adopted two cats and within two weeks, one of the cats swallowed something and had an obstruction, and it cost me over $5,000 to rectify the situation. This led me to look for pet insurance and at the time, I liked Fetch Pet’s cost. But it has gone up since then. This will be my second year with them and the insurance has been very valuable because I had to use it a year later. Overall, it was a good experience. It was quick and painless.

      The first year I had Fetch insurance it was great. Fair coverage, clear EoBs, good customer service. The second year it all went the other direction. They rejected many claims, their EoBs are cryptic, and the cost skyrocketed. I have not gotten a fraction of the payouts I should have. When I tried to cancel, they rather bullied me, in the most pleasant way [read: manipulation], to continue. TRY ANOTHER COMPANY, FETCH IS NO LONGER WORTH IT.

      They denied my claim for my dog's annual exam and heartworm prevention because I took her in four days before the new policy year kicked in. They refused to override the denial over the four days so I canceled the policy. I had been paying them $78 a month for the year. Fetch essentially stole money from me for a whole year and then refused to pony up the $110 they should have reimbursed me. What a waste of money. I am absolutely disgusted with them. They don't care about my dog. They are just like any other insurance company who do whatever they can to deny claims.

      This company is predatory and misleading, and pet owners deserve to be warned. I pay nearly $1,000 per year for Fetch Pet Insurance with the expectation of 80% reimbursement after a $500 deductible for injury and illness. That is what Fetch advertises. That is what they promise. That is not what they deliver.
      What actually happened: My dog, Star, had a real accident. She fell into a hole, injuring her left leg. This was not pre-existing. It was sudden, traumatic, and documented by a veterinarian. As a responsible pet owner, I immediately sought medical care: Over $500 paid out of pocket for X-rays and diagnostic evaluation. Veterinary confirmation that Star’s ACL was torn. Recommendation for ACL surgery to prevent long-term pain and loss of mobility. Fetch’s response?
      ❌ Denied reimbursement for diagnostics.
      ❌ Denied reimbursement for X-rays.
      ❌ Denied ACL surgery entirely.

      ❌ Hid behind a policy exclusion never clearly explained at enrollment.

      Let that be very clear: My dog suffered a documented accident, I paid hundreds just to diagnose the injury, and Fetch reimbursed nothing meaningful—despite years of premium payments. Policy manipulation & exclusions: Fetch advertises injury coverage, but once you file a claim, they:
      Retroactively apply broad orthopedic exclusions.
      Redefine accident-related injuries as “excluded conditions”.
      Use vague, buried policy language to deny high-cost care.

      Leave pet owners paying thousands after years of premiums.

      This is classic bad-faith insurance behavior. The reimbursement insult: On a separate $300+ veterinary visit, Fetch reimbursed only $115—a laughable amount considering:
      The annual premium.
      The deductible structure.
      The advertised 80% reimbursement rate.

      This is not insurance. It is a reimbursement illusion.

      Cancellation obstruction: When you realize Fetch is useless, they make it hard to escape:
      No phone number for real support.
      No in-app cancellation.
      Email-only requests that delay termination.
      Charges continue while you wait.

      This is retention by obstruction, not customer service.

      Final warning to pet owners: If your pet suffers a serious injury—especially orthopedic—Fetch will not be there. They will:
      Take your premiums.
      Deny your diagnostics.
      Deny your surgery.
      Hide behind exclusions.

      Leave you financially and emotionally wrecked.

      I trusted Fetch to help me care for my dog. They failed completely. Do not insure your pet with Fetch.

      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.
