I have a two year old mixed breed dog he has been on Fetch pet insurance since I adopted him as a puppy. I was paying about $25/month. The first year I did not make any claims so it did not increase. This past year I did have to make about $5,000 in claims which led to an IBD diagnosis. I have not made any claims since then. I just got my renewal notice and the new monthly cost is around $60/month. This doesn’t seem reasonable for the low coverage limit I have. This seems like an excessive increase. Is it worth switching pet insurance to something that has better coverage and is less than half the price but won’t cover pre-existing conditions and just saving the extra money for when it’s needed? What would you guys do?

Hey everyone! Fetch just sent us our plan renewal and it's quite a bit higher this year. I'm looking to switch while my dog still is quite healthy. She's a 9 year old scrappy terrier mix, and has one pre-existing condition of a femoral head removal before I got her (which was pre-existing for her current policy as well). She's also broken several teeth over the course of several years, which was covered with Fetch, but I'm worried it might not be with other companies (even though those were accidents and not conditions). Is it worth it to switch at this point? I'm seeing some decent slightly lower quotes at Lemonade, Pets Best, and Embrace. But basically every company out there has a post on here bemoaning said company as a "scam." I'm looking for accident and injury coverage with a high max payout of $15,000 or more, deductible of $250-500, and no add ons.

I've paid $3332 in premiums for my dog's insurance policy. Now, the first time I try to file a claim for a dental extraction, it is not approved because she had a pre-existing condition of "mild gingivitis" three years before our policy began. [They boast all over their website that they have the most extensive coverage for dental compared to other pet insurances](https://www.fetchpet.com/the-dig/does-pet-insurance-cover-dental-care), but they do not. My dog's gingivitis was so mild at that time the vet said it was not a concern, but apparently that is considered a pre-existing condition. Just want to warn other pet owners out there.

Hello, I am hoping someone can provide a bit of guidance as I’m a bit confused as to how my most recent claim was handled. My Labrador has been on a fetch (formerly PetPlan) insurance policy since she was 12 weeks old. No issues with preexisting conditions and fetch covers a lot that some other insurances don’t when it comes to congenital issues. Recently she had to have TTA surgery to repair a torn knee ligament and we just got our reimbursement approved for the treatment I noticed I was about 100 dollars short in my reimbursement, but received no communication that they partially approved or denied any part of the claim. I went and checked and they coded the surgical anesthetic medications under “prescription medication” and allocated all medications used during the surgery as prescriptions, which was applied toward the 1,500 sublimit I have on my plan for prescriptions I have never seen this before and every single communication/review about fetch talks about how they covered surgeries in full and all that jazz, and it seems crazy to me that the anesthetic medications necessary for surgery would be coded the same as prescriptions and would prevent me from receiving a full reimbursement. Has anyone else experienced this with Fetch pet insurance? I’m just concerned because it is likely she will need her other knee done and if it happens within the year then this entire surgery would have killed the entire prescription sublimit I have on my policy (that was also never communicated to me in the time I spent on the phone with the customer service agent)

I've had Fetch since my dog was less than a year old. The only pre existing condition he had at the time was allergies. I knew IVDD was common with the breed (French Bulldog), so I wanted some cushion in the event he ever needed surgery. He is now 6, and has been diagnosed with IVDD, but hasn't required surgery and hasn't had any signs in over a year now. The only other condition he has had was lyme, but that was taken care of so I'm not concerned about that either (never met the deductible with that treatment). Fetch doubled my rate a couple years ago, so I dropped my coverage to $5k and deductible to $750, 80% coverage. I've been paying about $712 annually for 4 years now. Just got an email that they're increasing this to $1650. I can't justify that for the crap coverage I'm getting, but I KNOW something is going to happen as soon as I cancel. I'm coming to terms that no matter who I switch to, IVDD will not be covered, so I'm mostly now thinking of any other issues he may have as he's getting older. I'm looking at **Spot, Pets Best, and Embrace**. They all have better coverage amounts for under $100/month. Spot says: '...we will no longer consider a condition to be pre-existing if it has been cured and free of symptoms and treatment for 180 days, with the exception of knee and ligament conditions". Anyone have experience with this? Seems too good to be true. They're quoting me $80/month for 10k limit, 70% reimbursement, 1k deductible. Also open to any other recommendations!

I was on fetch but they have increased my rates a lot since I first joined when my dog was 4. Started at $60/month now I’m at $200/month despite never making a claim. I’ve read that fetch is a scam, but then again I’ve also read embrace and trupanion are scams as well. Does anyone have any insurance recommendations that are actually decent? She is in good health, thankfully, but as she gets older I want to still make sure she is covered, just in case.

Hi everyone I posted here a few weeks ago with issues regarding Fetch Pet Insurance (formerly Pet Plan) and I have just had an absolutely awful experience with them regarding my dog’s recent knee surgery Basically, they are rolling out a “prescription sub-limit” on all of the policies they can and using that to cap any and all medical expenses as they relate to medications at 1,500 dollars. This includes any medications administered by a veterinarian and as I’ve been made aware, it includes medically necessary surgical anesthetic medications. During my enrollment call and upon reviewing my application of benefits, I was only made aware of the coverage I purchased. 10,000 dollars reimbursement, 80% reimbursement rate, and a 500 dollar deductible. There is no language on my application that indicates a sublimit. I just got off of a call with a supervisor reviewing my claim review and also my issue with this sublimit (as it was not reviewed with me in my enrollment call like it legally should have been per my enrollment application) The gist of the call was that “we can’t go over the whole policy” and that “we’re sorry you feel that way” even though the language of the application states in the agreement section that “I have been advised and have had the various other coverages and limits available to me under this policy fully explained. It is my decision to purchase the Coverages and limits set forth herein” All in all, if you plan to purchase pet insurance out of fear of surgical needs or expect for your coverage to be that which you go over in your enrollment calls, do not go with Fetch Pet. They are deceitful and intentionally vague in their policy documents and apply sub-limits without disclosing them to their plan purchasers. Thankfully, Fetch has still lost money on my dog due to the expensive nature of her surgery. But I will be looking at all my options when enrollment time comes around and consider switching because this company is unprofessional and blatantly lying to their customers. Now I have hit the sub-limit after one surgery and if my dog were to need another surgery this year according to Fetch I am SOL. If anyone has enrolled in Fetch this year or last year, please review your policy documents and let me know if they applied a sublimit to your policy (and whether or not the enrollment agent informed you of that sublimit)
