The most complete coverage for dental, behavioral issues, hereditary conditions & more

Fetch Pet provides the most complete coverage — including 100% reimbursement for behavioral issues, dental coverage for every tooth plus gums and treatment for breed-specific conditions — so you can give your pet the best protection for more good days.

Coverage for dental disease & injury

Fetch Pet covers injury and disease in all adult teeth and your pet's gums. That means you get full coverage for periodontal disease (the most common disease in dogs and cats), oral tumors, dental trauma, endodontic treatments, like root canals, and more. A root canal costs $3,140 on average, so this coverage matters.

What is periodontal disease? Periodontal disease occurs when there’s an infection or inflammation in a dog or cat’s teeth and gums caused by bacteria and plaque buildup. It can start as mild as gingivitis, but can cause pain and eventually lead to tooth loss.

Coverage for behavioral therapy

Over 95% of dogs and 75% of cats experience behavioral issues (think: aggression, urine marking, separation anxiety and more). Fetch Pet gives you 100% reimbursement for this — up to $1,000/yr. with no copay and no deductible. It's included in every policy at no extra cost.

What is behavioral therapy? Behavioral therapy is dedicated treatment for pets who have been diagnosed with a behavioral issue, including excessive barking, destructive chewing or scratching, biting or lunging out of fear and more. Fetch Pet covers consultations with a vet to diagnose and treat behavioral disorders.

Coverage for hereditary & congenital conditions

Not all providers cover hereditary and congenital conditions, such as hip dysplasia in larger dog breeds, intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) in Dachshunds or cerebellar hypoplasia in cats (also known as “wobbly cat syndrome”). Fetch Pet’s complete coverage includes treatment for these issues with up to 90% reimbursement — no breed restrictions and no upper-age limits. This includes sick-visit exam fees, diagnostics, medication, surgery and more.

What are hereditary and congenital conditions? A hereditary condition is a medical issue a pet is genetically predisposed to at birth, often linked to breed (think: breathing issues in French Bulldogs). A congenital condition is an issue or abnormality a pet is born with (think: heart murmur or hernia).

What pet insurance does not cover

Pet insurance covers future accidents and illnesses — the things you can’t see coming. Here’s what typically isn’t covered, so you know what to look out for in your specific policy.

  • Pre-existing conditions

    In general, no pet insurance covers all pre-existing conditions. A pre-existing condition is defined as any injury, illness or condition that your pet shows signs or symptoms of either before you enroll in insurance or during your policy’s waiting period. These conditions will be noted in your pet's veterinary medical records. Any claims for treatment related to a pre-existing condition will not be covered — unless it’s a curable pre-existing condition.

  • Preventive care (without Fetch Wellness)

    If you choose not to add an optional wellness plan to your pet’s insurance policy, their preventive care (like annual exams and vaccines) won’t be covered.

  • Claims filed after 90 days

    Remember to submit claims within 90 days from the date on your pet's invoice to be eligible for reimbursement with Fetch Pet. Claims submitted after 90 days won't be covered.

What is a pet insurance claim? A claim is a formal request for reimbursement that you submit to your pet insurance provider. They review it, and pay you back for covered care once your deductible has been met. It’s fast and easy to file claims in Fetch Pet’s top-rated app.

Commonly excluded from pet insurance policies

  • Ear cropping and tail docking

  • Prescription food

  • Grooming

  • Care not provided by a licensed vet

  • Airline pet travel fees

How pet insurance waiting periods affect when coverage starts

The waiting period is the set time between your policy’s effective date and when illness coverage begins. With Fetch Pet, any illness that occurs during or before the 15-day waiting period will not be covered. Fetch Pet has no waiting period for accidents and, if added, wellness coverage. This means any new injuries that occur the day after you sign up are eligible for coverage.

Accidents that occur prior to your policy effective date are considered pre-existing conditions and not covered. Accidents that occur after your effective date are eligible for coverage. Illnesses that occur prior to the end of your 15-day waiting period are considered pre-existing and not covered. Illnesses that occur after your 15-day waiting period are eligible for coverage.Accidents that occur prior to your policy effective date are considered pre-existing conditions and not covered.
