    I don't even know where to start. I have had so many issues with Fetch/Pet Plan that have all been incredibly unpleasant. In today's day and age, I have never experienced such hate and disdain for being a client as I have calling Fetch. Fetch just decides how things are going to be and refuses to even consider rectifying issues, even when the error is made on their side. Basically, I have learned Fetch expects me to take it up the bum and smile about it.

    The saddest thing of all is that you partnered with The Dodo. The Dodo brings happy news to people, celebrating the good in life. I really fear partnering with Fetch will negatively impact their reputation for spreading good in the world. All Fetch does is try to screw their clients which is the opposite of what The Dodo stands for. I was very disappointed to see the partnership news come through. Fetch has so much potential but they aren't interested in improving and helping their customers. I cannot wait to leave Fetch when I relocate at the end of the year - I dream about it. I hate this company so much.

    I honestly don't know whether I'll ever get reimbursed. I have sent email after email, call after call, and yet I continue to have issues. I have submitted all the records possible and yet I still am getting notifications about reaching out to my vet, missing records, etc. While I can finally log in, it has done nothing considering I cannot see my claims. At all. It has been 63 days and counting and I have gotten nowhere. This was a fantastic company before becoming Fetch by The Dodo, and now I feel like I'm screaming into the void, all while still getting charged.

    As a customer of Fetch (formerly PetPlan) for 6 years-- I recently discovered new customers are able to get their standard "Yearly One-Time Deductible." I also had a "Yearly one Time Deductible" when I started with them. Their policy under PetPlan then CHANGED to a "Per Incident Deductible." They now again offer "Yearly One Time Deductibles (not per incident)-- but will not offer it to customers who have been with them the longest -- only NEW customers. I just got off the phone and I was told that even though I've been with them for 6 YEARS, I am not eligible and must pay a separate deductible PER INCIDENT PER YEAR. It's infuriating and unbelievable that they treat customers who have been with them the longest with such disrespect. Completely unfair, disrespectful business practice.

    Very prompt and covered the dental surgery my pup desperately needed! We needed to have several abscess teeth removed and bone graft materials placed in. They were quick to review and reimburse the portion I was eligible for.

    All I ask, is speed up cancer meds... They have to start right away, and I had a lot of chasing around to do... You are just now covering both meds and next week we are into a month of diagnosis... Next week she goes back to vet and it will be time for refill...

    I have had this pet insurance now for about 2 years on my fur baby and I love it. I can choose which plan as far as how much the deductible is every year and total amount reimbursed etc. I love this and, it was the most inexpensive insurance that I had ever chosen where we get really good benefits without paying out your first born. Love Fetch Pet insurance.

    Fetch has been the best pet insurance I’ve had so far. It was a little annoying having to get my vet records even though it was a trauma case, but it wasn’t terrible and the service and refund was quick.

    Quite satisfied with my current coverage. I would recommend Fetch to a friend if asked. The app and website are Intuitive. Submitting claims are straightforward. And updates on your claims are timely.

    I have been a client of Pet Plan (now Fetch) for over 30-years. Upon renewal of my 9-year old dog, Fetch (without notice) reduced my insurance coverage, increased my deductible and decreased my reimbursement. In other words, as your dog ages, they decrease their liability. This truly an outrage. So as my dog most likely will need insurance, they have reduced their coverage. I am willing to pay for higher coverage, but they will not offer it. I repeat...DO NOT OBTAIN INSURANCE from Fetch. When my dog passes, I will go elsewhere.

    Beth, we definitely understand your concerns and frustrations about renewal premium increases, and we are here to answer any questions you may have. Fetch will never cancel policies due to claims but your claims do affect the policy we can offer you. While we may adjust your policy options at renewal, including the annual coverage, co-pay, deductible and premium, we will never cancel your policy due to your pet’s age, health or claims history and you will maintain continuous coverage with us. If you email us at help@fetchpet.com with your policy information, we’ll be sure to respond and provide you with any help you may need.

    Fetch/Petplan is your classic soulless bottom-line penny saving greedy insurance. They don't care about you or your animal, and will gladly take your premium money and keep pushing it up for any reason, and will give you a world of hoops and pain to go through when you actually need to file a claim. Every single time it's a battle, every single time they send you on endless document hunts, returned claims, citing obscure clauses and forcing you to *prove* certain things you might not be able to after the fact. The customer service is your typical mechanical shuffling from one person to another until you give up in disgust. Not their fault, they're just executing the corporate plan which is where the real problem is. You should definitely get pet insurance, but if you're fond of your pet- don't get it from fetch/petplan!

    They will only reimburse you the cost of your pet's surgeries and if you don't have that money then you are screwed. They don't offer alternatives. They have my money and my pet is still dying and they don't care.

    We purchased Fetch Pet Insurance last year and submitted many claims for our cat Chester. For every claim they advised me that could not pay the claim for all sorts of reasons like insufficient paperwork, incomplete paperwork or just refused to pay the claim. Then I requested to cancel the pet insurance and they made it very difficult to cancel to the point that I had to call my credit card to advise them that I cancelled my pet insurance and they renewed it without permission after I told them I wanted it cancelled. This is not a reputable company.

    John, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We never want someone to cancel because of a bad claims experience and are working on improving our claims process so that claims don't get denied for missing medical records.
