Figo went above and beyond during the tragic loss of our dog. Once a file was claimed for services that included end of life procedures, Figo proactively reached out to confirm that our policy for our dog had been ended. This was one less thing to do that helped us.

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. But definitely I can see how it would help with emergency vet payments for a serious injury or repeated cancer treatments.

The day you get a pet, should also be the day you get insurance for them. All three of my dogs are insured through FIGO. I opted for the ultimate on my dogs. It has covered chemo, hydrotherapy, Nephrectomy and so many other things. With the Figo app it’s hassle free. And everyone I have ever spoke with has been so nice and helpful. Do yourself and your pet a favor! Insure them!! And insure them with Figo.

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! Such a rip off! Do not go with this insurance, be aware of such a scam company!

Hi Anna,

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're sad to see that you have canceled your policy but we were honored to have you as loyal members of the Figo Family since October 2020 and we sincerely hope she is feeling better and on the road to recovery!

We have had FIGO since our dog Chuck was 3 months old. He is now 4 and the light of our lives!!! Loving, affectionate and well behaved. Unfortunately he has also had an ACL procedure, tumor removed and now Lymphoma. We have incurred thousands and thousands of dollars in chemotherapy treatments and related procedures. I really don't know if we would have been able to do this without FIGO. Whenever I call or email they are responsive, accommodating and kind. It means a lot. Thank you.

Overall the experience has been pleasant and we've been happy with the results however when we initially signed up we felt the company was quick to determine a "pre-existing" condition. Otherwise the process has been relatively painless and has helped on an emergency situation in which it would have been a significant impact.

Sadly I have to cancel bonny insurance with Figo. So sorry that I had to do for hardship.

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.

Within 24 hours the claim was processed within 48 hours or so, I had my refunded amount in my bank account. This first claim was a breeze because I already sent in all of his medical records. I would absolutely recommend Figo.

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.

Hi Alix,

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.

Hi Sakinah,

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.

Figo has been wonderful for me and my dog Duncan. We've had their insurance since he was a puppy and I'm so grateful for that because Duncan has some health issues. He was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease around a year and a half and we've had to submit a lot of claims for it. Regardless of his condition I would still have this insurance, especially for big dogs. It's super easy to submit claims and we've rarely had issues with them. The one time we did it was early on and I was able to get on the phone with a person to resolve it. A+ experience.

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.

Hi Scott,

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.

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.

Last May our 4 year old Bichon-Frise suddenly displayed neurological problems. She was rapidly losing use of her hind legs, and became painful to touch. We brought her to our local vet, and they referred us to a full service clinic that has a neurosurgeon on staff. Turns out our dog has a fairly common condition, intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), a diagnosis given to us while we sat in our car in the parking lot. A treatment plan which included surgery was given, and a price range of $7200-$9600 was given, and we had to pay the low end of range for service to be rendered. We authorized a payment to our credit card.

The dog recovered, final bill was actually $6100, I submitted the invoice via Figo's app, and within 48 hours, I had reimbursement for appropriate amount in my designated bank account. Three months after surgery, our dog had a relapse. We repeated the same steps, and again Figo reimbursed for surgery. On top of all this, Figo paid for therapy. My wife and I would have paid for the first surgery regardless, but thanks to Figo our decision to do the second surgery was quite easy.
