Figo | Pet Insurance Review

My dog had an emergency room visit because part of a wooden deck got impaled in her paw and it was quickly infected. The ER sent paperwork, my vet for her follow-up sent paperwork. I got copies of the paperwork and submitted them myself and I was told they couldn't reimburse because we didn't send the paperwork. If I have to work that hard and still get no coverage, I'm not interested.

Thought a lot of the stuff was covered and 90 % get sent back but other then that it's easy to do and understand

I never needed insurance with my first dog but it has been essential in affording care for my new dog who was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease around 8 months after I adopted him and has a lot of tests and specialist vet visits. Fido is fast and transparent and covered over $5000 in the first year. I hope they will continue to be this good as I work to get an effective treatment for my dog's weight loss.

I have an Australian Shepherd. Anyone who has owned this breed knows they are High Strung and anxious, oops don't say that word because Figo will use the owners words to decline your claim because it was pre-existing. At first they declined me because of a medication the vet gave for keeping him calm after surgery and said it was used for another reason. Vet wrote them a letter saying that was not correct. Then they declined because of a note of a word I used. I am not a vet and it was a word I would use on any Aussie. I told them they should not insure a breed that they do not understand or intend on ever covering a claim. They will look for any reason to not accept your claim. I will appeal again but low expectations. I will be pulling my three pets out of Figo and going to another insurance company. Waste of money!!! I reached out Figo support many times on the phone and via email. The last they claim that because I was quoted in vet notes as using the word anxious, could have been afraid, that I diagnosed my dog with anxiety. Even though my prior vet sent a letter stating he was not diagnosed with anxiety. Figo claims I diagnosed him and that word counts as pre-existing condition. When talking with your vet ask them not to quote you in their notes and be careful with your words, they will be used against you! Going on second appeal.

Nothing covers for us
