Your kitten insurance questions – answered!
What is kitten insurance coverage?
If your pet gets sick or hurt, kitten insurance coverage reimburses you. Fetch kitten insurance offers the most comprehensive coverage in Canada and the U.S. and pays you back up to 90%, making your vet bills more affordable. With Fetch, you won’t have to choose between your wallet and your best friend, and it’s easy to give your kitten the care they need to live their longest, healthiest, happiest life.
Why do I need a kitten insurance plan?
Every 6 seconds, a pet parent is faced with a vet bill of more than $1,000. That doesn’t even take into account the rising cost of inflation, or the fact that veterinary medicine is getting better – and more expensive. Fetch kitten insurance plans give you protection from these increasing costs and peace of mind that’s priceless. From allergies to name-brand prescriptions to a cracked tooth, Fetch can offer coverage for a wide range of injuries and illnesses. As a pet parent with Fetch, you’ll be able to give your kitten the care they need – without worrying about the full cost of vet bills.
When should I get kitten insurance coverage?
The sooner you enroll, the sooner your kitten’s covered. Fetch covers dogs and cats 6 months and older, but to make sure your kitten gets as much kitten insurance coverage as possible, it's best to sign up before they need it. Fetch doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions, which is why we recommend signing up as early as possible. Insuring your kitten before health issues develop is recommended, so you and your best friend can live your best lives together.
What’s not covered?
Fetch doesn't cover pre-existing conditions, which are medical conditions that first occurred, or your kitten showed clinical signs of, either before the effective date of your Fetch policy or during the waiting period of up to 15 days. The good news: If your kitten has a medical condition or injury that can be completely resolved without recurrence, or showing any clinical signs – then goes one year from the original incident without any symptoms or treatment, this could be considered a curable medical condition and covered later.
How much does kitten insurance cost and how is it determined?
At Fetch, your kitten insurance plan’s cost will never be affected by sex, medical and behavioural history, spay or neuter status and indoor or outdoor status. So what do we factor in when we’re determining your plan’s cost? It’s simple: your kitten’s age, breed and location. From there, you’ve got options. Here are the different factors you can customize to make sure your price fits your budget.
Kitten insurance terms — decoded:
Maximum annual payout
The maximum dollar amount you can be paid back each year. Choosing a lower max annual payout will make your price lower.
Annual deductible
The amount of vet care you need to pay for yourself before we can reimburse you for claims. Choosing a higher deductible will make your price lower.
Reimbursement
The percentage of an approved claim total that we can cover. You can choose 70%, 80% or 90%. Choosing a lower reimbursement rate will make your price lower.
How much does a vet visit cost without kitten insurance?
The cost of vet visits without kitten insurance varies widely and depends on factors like your kitten’s breed, age, location and, of course, what brings you and your kitten to the vet in the first place.
Let’s say your kitten swallows something they shouldn't (it happens!). Your vet bill would cost, on average, $2,257 without kitten insurance coverage. Fetch covers up to 90% of your unexpected vet bills after you’ve met your deductible – in this case, $2,031 would be covered. Getting Fetch means getting a significant reduction in your vet bill costs, so that your kitten gets the medical attention they may need, and you’ll be protected from the full cost of vet expenses if they do.
