I purchased Figo several months ago. My 4 y/o healthy dog developed an anal abscess and it exploded in a matter of hours. It was 12:30 AM. Went to VET and they took great care of her. $700 emergency and they reimbursed me $124.07. WORST PET INS EVER!!!! They didn’t cover the exam! How can they treat her w/o an exam? Didn’t pay for pain meds!! Terrible.

So sad Costco has linked to this scam insurance program when you normally regard them as providing value and quality; FIGO is neither. They con you with introductory price with waiting periods, then after 1 year jack the price 65%. My 7 yr. old lab with no history of illness, accident or claims, jumped from $787 to $1198 with no claims. Go elsewhere for insurance for your pet and COSTCO, stop representing poor quality rip offs like FIGO the pyramid scheme of insurance.

What a scam! Do not buy this insurance. @Costco should be ashamed of such a scam. Website doesn't work and when it does, can't open the pdf's, very slow in opening pages, refuse every claim saying it's pre-condition. How can a neuter dog have a pre-condition. Sue them, shut them down, don't be foolish.

I had a $500 deductible with a 70% "reimbursement" plan. One would think that it would cover 70%. NOT AT ALL. After my dog started vomiting and could not stop I decided to take him to the after hours vet. He is 2.5 years old and has no preexisting condition. I had a false sense of confidence because I had pet insurance. Had I not had pet insurance I probably would have waited a bit before taking him to the vet. My dog was fine. The visit was $1,000 and Figo covered $100? It is a SCAM!

I thought I had done a thorough job comparing pet insurance prior to picking Figo - and it was tied to Costco, which made me feel more secure choosing them for our dogs. Before choosing Figo, my older dog had great coverage with Nationwide, and the puppy we adopted was covered by Trupanion. The puppy has a lot of anxiety and Trupanion covered that complaint - what I didn't realize was that Figo would consider that a preexisting condition and exclude all behavior issues from coverage. My older dog has displayed some aggressive behavior towards the puppy, and now we need to see a behavior specialist.
Ironically, when we went to the vet to get an ortho certification for Figo, so we didn't have to wait 6 months for coverage, the vet put in the notes that my older dog was a little anxious. She has also been treated in the past for her anxiety with fireworks. Now Figo will likely not cover her treatment of aggressive behavior and will consider all behavior issues to be preexisting. They don't tell you ahead of time what they consider "preexisting" - they just comb through their medical records to find ways to deny claims. I am so disappointed, and the worse part is that we had coverage for both dogs with the other companies and now we are facing thousands of dollars of vet bills without coverage.

I have had a truly awful experience with Figo, if I could give it 0 stars I would. I am not usually a review person, but I hate the idea of any other pet parent going through this hell. After an extremely stressful time, with multiple ER visits, Figo has done nothing but add to my stress. They have denied almost everything I submitted, despite the fact that these services should be covered under the policy. They did not properly review the medical documents I provided, and provided denial codes that were not applicable to the case. For example, in one case they denied my claim because they said it was heartworm related - this was completely unsubstantiated, as she was hospitalized for high kidney levels, completely unrelated to heartworm. The medical records I provided do not even mention the word 'heartworm' in them.
I submitted an appeal, which they also denied & said if I wanted to appeal further I would have to obtain evidence that it was not heartworm related. It is baffling to me that they can deny a claim with no evidence to support their denial, and then demand that I provide evidence to prove they are wrong. Adding these bad faith hoops for pet owners to jump through, when they're often already dealing with the stress of a sick pet, is truly reprehensible. I've spent hours of my time dealing with Figo's nonsense already, and am now faced with either trying to battle them further or give up the thousands of dollars they owe me. This company has given me nothing but stress during an already extremely stressful time. Please do yourself a favor and find insurance elsewhere.

My Lhaso Apso is 11 and has had some problems in the past but I thought I would give it a try. After only having the insurance for 10 days my dog began bumping into furniture so I knew she had to have something wrong with her eyes. Called a specialist to have her checked out and she had two detached retinas which caused sudden blindness. This was on the 11th day. Sent in claim and it went in review. Several blood tests were ordered and I had those done on the 14th day. Both claims denied because there was a 14 day waiting period. Ok makes sense, no problem!
Took her back for follow up on the 25th. Sent in that claim. Now it was denied because now it is considered preexisting. I just thought that they would not pay anything during the first 14 days. Didn’t realize they would now say Pre-existing. Make sure you read your policy carefully! My fault I guess but no way was I going to wait 4 more days to have my dog examined. Now anything she has because of bloodwork can be determined Pre-existing although she has not been diagnosed with anything yet but detached retinas.

The claims department at Figo make every excuse to deny your claims. They will drag your claim out over the course of several months, force you to appeal, and then deny it. I highly recommend going with Nationwide pet coverage over Figo. We had a much better experience with them with one of our now deceased pets. Nationwide paid out claims promptly and without the painful experience that we have experienced with Figo.

Figo has turned down every claim I've submitted due to "pre-existing conditions" despite my cat not having the pre-existing condition. They will scour the medical record for anything even remotely related to the claim in the past and declare it a "pre-existing condition". They lied and changed their story multiple times as to why the claim was denied. They will make your life miserable in the hopes you just give up on the claim. Garbage, scam of a company. Don't waste your money.

Figo Pet Insurance has so many exclusions you will be lucky to get any of your claims covered. I purchased pet insurance for accidents, injuries and unexpected illnesses. I submitted $4,500 in claims and received ZERO in reimbursement. Have tried to contact for clarification but have not been able to get anyone on the phone. I spent hours downloading and collecting all the information they requested. There are better companies out there. Do your research and don't waste your money.

We enrolled our two miniature long haired dachshunds with FIGO health coverage 2 months ago. We were very please with the ease associated with the enrollment process. The web site and app is fantastic. Unfortunately after several weeks, one of our dogs needed care and treatment for a sore back. We filed the claim with all the paperwork from the Vet. I would have expected a quicker decision. We'll wait and see. Claims processing is an important feature of the coverage and one of the reasons we switched from Trupanion to FIGO.
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and welcome to the Figo Family! We are glad to hear that it was easy to enroll and that the app and website are also easy to use. Your first claim typically takes the longest as we get a prior history written up for your pet and review their medical history in full.

Decent emergency insurance and good customer service. Would be best for a dog or outside cat. I own a indoor cat named Boxcar and for him even though he’s a senior cat it’s not worth the cost.

I had a premium policy for more than a year, the last week my dog had an accident and I went to the vet, the bill was over 1k and I had to Z{ay for every test and service at the vet after I did submit the claim via Figo account, I was very surprised that this insurance denied any reimbursements, I mean they are stating that they do cover x-rays, blood test and etc BUT THEY DENIED ANY REIMBURSEMENTS EVEN FOR MY DOG MEDICATION!

We’re sorry to hear your experience with Figo has caused frustration. At Figo, we focus on covering any new accident or illness that arises. One exclusion, however, is parasitic infection. Diagnostic testing, treatment, and prevention of parasites are not eligible for coverage.

We researched different companies for dog health insurance. I found FIGO suited our needs the best. Between reading reviews to reading the FIGO information and asking our Vet and other dog owners, FIGO stood out as one of the best. Our puppy had multiple issues in her first year so it was important to feel supported with the insurance. Claims were easy with the App and the payments from FIGO came directly into my checking account. We did go with a good policy that covers most any illness and the emergency or office visit for illness. I am impressed so far. I expect at some point the policy will go up in expense but I have heard that you can sometimes get it lowered if you feel it is too much. I recommend FIGO often to new dog owners who are looking for insurance through our connection to the reunion rescue site where we adopted our puppy.

My overall experience with their customer service was poor. I attempted to access the live vet feature late at night, only to find that my account was listed as inactive although I had just renewed it. The company stated an apology and otherwise did little to recognize the cost, both financial and mental, that I incurred due to being unable to access this feature. My insurance premium for one of my dogs also rose $264 over the course of two years--an exponential increase that I felt I would not be able to keep up with financially. I decided that I would do better saving my money for a medical emergency rather than paying the high premiums charged by Figo.
We're sorry to hear about the technical difficulties with our 24/7 Live Vet feature in the Pet Cloud app, as well as the frustrating renewal experience. Likewise, since rates are reevaluated based on age, breed, gender, and vet costs in your zip code, these factors likely contributed to the rise in premium. We are saddened to see you have canceled your policies for Lewis & Winifred, but we were honored to be part of their journeys since April 2019 and wish you a happy & safe 2021.

When we decided to get pet insurance for our new puppy, Hobo, we never dreamed we would need to use it so soon. Shortly after we chose Figo, Hobo was diagnosed with a liver shunt & needed surgery. If it hadn’t been for Figo we would have been in terrible debt to be able to afford the surgery. We may have even had to postpone it to secure the funds. Needless to say, Figo to the rescue! Thousands of dollars later, Hobo was recovering & our bill was minimal. Figo was definitely a lifesaver for our little Hobo!

When I was looking for pet insurance for my rescue dog, I did a massive amount of research. I compared premiums, deductibles, coverage, and age limitations. I read many *many* reviews, and changed my mind multiple times. In the end, I landed on Figo and I'm extremely glad I did. Figo's premium rates are quite reasonable, and their deductible structure is highly customizable and generous. My dog's current plan covers *90%* of non-wellness expenses after a $500 deductible. I did not find any other pet insurance plan that offered anything close. They have even covered behavioral expenses, including visits to a certified behaviorist and medication.
In addition to all this, I love the fact that Figo allows me to submit and resolve claims entirely without paper. They process all my claims through their web platform and smart phone app and they process them FAST. When I am due to be reimbursed for an expense, the money is direct deposited into my bank account, usually within fewer than 24 hours. It's hard to beat that kind of turnaround time. My calls to customer service have been efficient and friendly, and I haven't had to fight Figo on a single claim. Because of all this, I am thrilled with my own choice, and am constantly referring other pet parents to check out Figo for their pet's insurance needs.

When an insurance company chooses to switch underwriters during a pandemic with the knowledge that some customers will be unable to switch insurance is a move by a company that doesn't really care about the animals they insure. My cat Brownee right before the start of the pandemic was diagnosed with cancer and during the pandemic hypertension. The higher premiums are painful on my pocket and I raised my deductible to $1500 to avoid the high monthly premium payments; They also engage in shady behavior now -- they deducted double the renewal amount and then would not refund the full amount.
Without any advance notice they decided to deduct two months of premiums and the billing dept has to clear it with some other dept before refund. I will not recommend them to anyone who has an animal they need to purchase insurance for and would tell them to look into other forms of pet insurance. I don't like having to say that this choice I made about 4 years ago is now a mistake. It's about profits, not the well being of animals.
We're sorry to hear about this experience. Since we process claims by subtracting your deductible from the total bill, we are not able to reimburse funds for a claim unless your annual deductible has been reached for that policy term. Likewise, we are glad to see that you were able to get refunded for the tech error that caused this billing mishap. We've been honored to have the opportunity to protect Brownee since 2016 and we wish you both the best throughout this difficult time.

The sole reason for rating our family's experience with FIGO as "NEUTRAL" is due to the fact that FIGO decided to no longer offer dental coverage for our cats. I cannot help but assume this was a direct result of actually using that coverage when we did have it. For the most part, we are happy enough with FIGO to not look for an alternative company at this time, but our experience with FIGO's discontinuation of dental coverage has been disappointing. I had hoped that FIGO would be different from the typical insurance company, which effectively penalizes the customer for actually using the coverage they are paying for each month. In this case, we used it, and consequently FIGO ended it.
We're sorry to hear about this experience. Our previous underwriter, Markel, did allow coverage for dental illness; however, our current underwriter, IAIC, specfically excludes this from coverage. We know that this can be frustrating and although we cannot cover dental illness, we can still cover a dental-related accident or injury, provided the condition is not pre-existing. We've been honored to protect Sadie & Maggie since 2019 and hope you are all doing well!

I've had my dog Bella insured through Figo since she was a puppy, for 3 years now. This year my premium skyrocketed, in part because Figo changed underwriters. It has almost TRIPLED in monthly cost! And unfortunately, since my dog is already being treated for a chronic medical condition, if I were to switch to another pet insurance company, that chronic condition would be considered pre-existing and would not be covered for the rest of her life. So I am essentially stuck with Figo. Having said all of that, I will say that filing claims is super simple, and getting reimbursed is very quick. I appreciate how easy it is to file claims using their app, and they're usually processed within a couple of days, with reimbursement following shortly behind.
