Fetch by the Dodo covers 23+ injuries and illnesses. They offer plans with a 90% reimbursement option and are rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot. But are there insurance plans worth buying? Let us give you an honest review.
What is the Cost of Fetch Pet Insurance?
On average, dogs’ insurance costs $35/month, whereas it is $25/month for cats. These are just the average costs. What you will pay depends entirely on the plan that you have selected.
With insurance plans for dogs, your premium is based on three distinct factors which are:
- Age:
- For the younger dogs, you will pay a comparatively lesser premium.
- That is because the older ones have a higher maintenance cost.
- Breed:
- Some dogs of specific breeds have lower immunity and are even prone to some specific diseases, such as hip dysplasia.
- Such breeds of dogs are hard to maintain and drop ill. Here, you will pay comparatively more premium.
- Location:
- The vet charges vary from place to place.
- If you are living at a location with a higher cost of veterinary care, you will pay more towards the premium.
Fetch does not consider these parameters when deciding the cost of your insurance:
- The sex of your pet
- The medical or behavioral history of your pet
- The neuter or spay status
- Indoor or outdoor status
