My 14 month old cat has been to the emergency vet twice since we adopted her a year ago. 8 weeks ago she went in for swallowing a button. She had been vomiting all day. Luckily it came out naturally after she spent the day hospitalized with an iv to hydrate her. Last week she started vomiting again. I’ve been traumatized but the fact that she swallowed a button, my best friend’s cat had to have surgery to removed a nerf ball, and my other best friend’s cat had to actually be put down for eating the rubber off of swimming goggles, he had other issues and they didn’t think he would survive the surgery. All this happened since my cat first went in 8 weeks ago. So I probably should have given my cat a few more hours to see if she would stop vomiting. Turns out she had suspected gastritis. Now I’m afraid that we will get dropped from Fetch insurance if I submit the last claim. Should I submit the claim? Will I get into trouble if I don’t submit it?

My dog is 10 years old (small mix 21 lbs) and we have had fetch insurance for 10 years. The premium increases yearly have been high, but this year it is ludacris. I just got an email that my premium will be increased from 1500 to 3000 this year!!! She has been pretty much a healthy dog except this past year she needed dental extractions. ideally, I wouldn’t want to change companies since she is an older age, but I cannot be paying $3000 a year. I have been looking for possibly switching insurances however, my concern is now that she is older and has had teeth removed—Is this considered a pre-existing condition? Sidenote, interestingly enough, I requested a brand new quote through fetch and they quoted $150 per month with the same coverage. Hmmm. Does anybody have recommendations for pet insurance plans?

Aside from the appalling over 100% premium increase in my renewal this year because my dog turned 10, I've noticed two new things in my Fetch policy. If you have more than 50 claims they can remove discounts and lower coverage. I always knew if you had a lot of claims it would cost you BUT how is the 50 counted? Every prescription claim counts? My dog gets 4 prescriptions a month, some only 10 bucks but it might increase my plans because of the number 50?? Next is the sublimit on prescriptions. Shouldn't be surprised when I saw them add their own pharmacy option. So if you use their preferred pharmacy that's waived. Great. But 2 of my dogs prescriptions are compounded eye drops and not available on their site. Nothing I can do about that? Has anyone ran into issues with these two new policy changes? Mostly worried about the claim one. I probably submit 4 to 5 a month of just meds. I used to put them all in one claim once a month but they kept messing up that way 🙄

Hello, with Fetch. Monthly fee has gone up e up to $102.00 Canadian for 1 dog. Dog is 6 years old. We also have another fur baby. Does anyone have another Pet insurance company you can recommend/ please share your monthly amount.

I got pet insurance on each of my dogs when I got them. The second dog got a better, more budget-friendly policy thanks to the benefit of time and experience on my part. The first dog, however, is the medical problem one. The past few years we have barely hit our $500 deductible, but his plan was renewed today for 2025, and we will be hitting the deductible tomorrow due to a scheduled appointment. A few months back I got a rate increase notification from Fetch (0/10 do not recommend btw). That was fine, but what I didn't realize is that his $600/yr insurance jumped to **$1,000/year**, which was a SUPER fun surprise to my bank account this morning, especially when I budgeted six hundred into a very tight and aggressively paying down debt budget. My first reaction was eff this, cancel it. My second reaction was remembering this dog is set for roughly $700 in sedated arthritis x-rays and a biopsy of a potentially cancerous growth TOMORROW. We can't get any coverage in time if we switched today, can't really reschedule the appointment, it needs to be done soon, and his bad hips and allergies would already be considered pre-existing conditions. I don't have an emergency fund built up for the dogs, I wasn't making enough money last year, and ate down my savings. This dog is already going on prescription food, daily joint supplements, and needs to be taken swimming for his unofficial physical therapy (mutts aren't always healthier FYI). Talk me off the ledge here, this $1,000 is still worth it right? Do we eat the cost for this year and reevaluate next year depending on how this one goes?

So, in case anyone was curious, I posted [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/petinsurancereviews/comments/1io7ggn/fetch_pet_insurance_prescription_sublimit/) and [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/petinsurancereviews/comments/1j4f71u/update_fetch_pet_insurance_deceitful_enrollment/) about an ongoing issue with Fetch Pet Insurance about a "prescription sub-limit" applied to Virginia, USA policies and wanted to give the final update as far as I am aware. TLDR: Fetch pet is rolling out a "prescription sub-limit" of 1500 dollars on all applicable policies, that applies to any and all medications (including ones given in hospital and during surgery). This sub-limit was not disclosed to me nor does it exist on any of their publicly available documentation. My dog had surgery in January and a portion of it wasn't covered because they applied all of the medications used in that surgery to the sub-limit, and I was informed that for the rest of the year no medications would be covered due to this sub-limit. I made a report to the BBB and contacted my states insurance board to see if this sub-limit was appropriately filed with them. Haven't heard back about the BBB complaint but my state's insurance office did confirm that Fetch filed the sub-limit with the state. I have no idea what other states this is applicable in, because there's still no information about it on their site, probably because they don't want people to know about the bottlenecking they are applying to policies. After quite a bit of back and forth, I've been informed that my and several other individuals who had surgeries are having those claims reassessed and that surgical medications will not be imposed against the sub-limit. They are adjusting the under-writing language to specifically change how they assess anesthetic drugs, but all other medications (nerve blocks, pain management in surgery, and antibiotics given in surgery) will still be applied to the sub-limit. With my reassessment, I received the remaining balance I was owed from my dog's surgery and now have about 850 dollars left in my prescription sub-limit for the year. I'm still quite a bit miffed that they were able to apply such a restrictive sub-limit to my policy without informing me, and this sub-limit is still applicable to medications given by veterinarians in-hospital, but at the very least they are not applying anesthetic medications to this sub-limit any longer. If you had a surgery only partially covered by Fetch Pet Insurance in the past year due to complications surrounding this sub-limit. Please submit an appeal, I've been told (on a recorded line) that they are reassessing any surgical claims made using the previous underwriting language surrounding this policy.

I currently have 3 cats. I've had policies with Fetch (previously known as PetPlan) for nearly 2 decades, and they have covered half a dozen different cats during that time, including my current trio. Fetch has never had the cheapest policies, and it always took a while for them to pay claims, but they always provided good coverage and did not engage in the scummy bait-and-switch practices so common to other pet insurance companies. All that changed Monday. To provide some background, two of my three cats are middle-aged littermates, a female and a male. The boy is generally healthy except for the occasional herpes virus flare up. He's had those since he was a kitten so Fetch considered them a pre-existing condition and has never covered any of those expenses. Fair enough. His sister suffered a serious illness in 2023 and was ultimately diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. Due to complications during the initial work up, she got aspiration pneumonia. She nearly died and had to spend 10 very expensive days in the ICU. She recovered from the near fatal pneumonia, but unfortunately the lymphoma is terminal and all we can do is give her medication to keep her comfortable and slow the progression. If we're really lucky we may get a couple more years with her. Since her diagnosis in 2023 she has had to see her vet every couple of month for blood tests because the medications suppresses her immune system and can have serious side effects. So, she incurs regular medical bills, but nothing near the expenses she incurred in 2023. Both cats had their policies renewed in 2024 with moderate increases in the annual premiums. Today I received my renewal documents for 2025, and I am absolutely floored by what Fetch has done: * **Fetch designated BOTH cats as high risk and forced them into high-risk policies.** * **The female's 2025 premium went up by about $75 to $1380 per year, but the deductible quadrupled to $1000 and my co-pay went from 10% to 40%!** * **Even though her brother has rarely been sick and never with anything serious, his 2025 premium increased by $817 to $2200 per year, his deductible doubled to $500 and my co-pay went from 10% to 30%!** I had expected the girl's policy costs might increase, but there is no justification for what Fetch has done with her brother's policy. I called Fetch to get an explanation and see what could be adjusted at least for the boy's policy. Their answer was, "Nothing." Take it, or leave it. This is how Fetch treats customers who've had policies with them for decades. Just a big middle finger. Fetch was bought by a huge private equity firm a few years ago and these predatory business practices are the result. Wall Street has been buying up veterinary practices and pet insurance companies with the goal of consolidating the industry into monopolies that will rob pet owners blind. For Fetch it's either pay up or put fido to sleep.

I currently have Fetch pet insurance and they dropped my cats coverage to 50% from 80% bc they thought her account was unbalanced. They basically penalized me for using the coverage I pay for. For those of you who have had pet insurance for more than 2-3 years, which ones have you been happy with? I also, just got my new cat lemonade pet insurance but now I am having doubts. Pls helppp

I’m paying close to $190 a month for my 7 year old medium sized dog and 8 year old small dog. They go to the vet maybe once a year and I figured it could be worth it as a preventative measure but it’s honestly really expensive. I’ve been reading about prices increasing too so I don’t know what to do… i have fetch

Hey guys I'm with fetch pet insurance Australia due to the fact because they advertised they would pay directly to my vet and I would only have to pay the excess to fetch.. it’s called direct to vet Well I'm learning now no vets are set up with them at all most vets aren't wanting to hand over there vet details so the vet can pay them directly I feel like they are scamming there customers If anyone is with them how do you guys do it?
