Next to zero coverage for claims
We recently adopted a rescue dog and when he arrived to DC he developed allergies. We took him in for his first vet visit and they identified an unknown allergy. We tried the initial vet suggestion of fish oil (for the skin) and Zyrtec, but neither of those worked. We then got Fetch pet insurance, and after the 15-day waiting period expired, we went back to the vet to get him reevaluated. They ran tests and gave him an allergy shot and some pills and a spray (which totaled in the hundreds of dollars). However, since the first vet visit listed an unknown allergy, they considered the whole experience a pre-existing condition. I called to get some clarity on this policy, and they informed me that all future allergy treatments would thus be considered "pre-existing" since it was on his first vet record, and wouldn't be covered. I will be looking elsewhere for pet insurance, as the entire process has been cumbersome and frustrating, and Fetch is just taking in premiums and not paying out claims. I'm wondering why I have pet insurance if these claims aren't covered.
