Figo has been supplying pet insurance and other financial products since 2012. As part of Google’s Tech Hub Network, Figo offers a number of interactive and intuitive tools for pet owners who utilize their insurance including smart updates and 24/7 access to a live vet via the app.

Figo offers multiple types of pet insurance plans for both cats and dogs. This means that regardless of the size and condition of your pet, Figo is likely to offer coverage.

While the Essential plan is the cheapest and provides the most limited coverage, the Ultimate plan offers owners nearly unlimited services while the Preferred plan offers a middle ground.

Figo pet insurance is also a unique pet insurance company because of the number of discounts it offers. Veterans, owners with medical services pets, and even owners who pay their annual premium in one lump sum will pay a lower overall cost.

What does Figo Pet Insurance cover?

Figo pet insurance offers many levels of coverage to fit the needs of most pet owners. And all breeds of dog and cat are eligible.

Reimbursement rates are between 60% to 100% depending on the plan and the deductible can be as low as $100 or as high as $1,500.

Hereditary and congenital condition coverage sets Figo apart from many other companies, and owners can expect coverage for hospitalization, surgery, prescriptions, and even cancer treatment.

How much does Figo Pet Insurance cost?

Although costs and coverage vary based on each individual’s unique situation, plans for small dogs start as low as $20.

For an additional fee each month (typically between $5–$6), pet owners can add Veterinary Exam Fee coverage, which will cover the fees charged for an office visit if a pet is experiencing a covered issue. (This does not include routine and preventative visits.)

Pros & cons of Figo Insurance

Pros

Thanks to its policy of using an annual deductible system rather than a per-incident deductible, owners can get a clear idea of what their treatment costs will be.
Similarly, because of the discount for paying annually, those with the means can save some money by paying insurance policy premiums in a lump sum.
Because Figo bases premium prices on the coverage it provides, owners with pets who have preexisting conditions are more likely to be able to find coverage with Figo—albeit at a higher premium—rather than being turned down entirely for a pet insurance policy.
Because of Figo’s tech-centric approach, using the insurance is simple—just navigate around the app to see reminders for care, talk to a live vet, and chat with representatives.
“Curable” pre-existing conditions may be eligible for coverage if no signs or symptoms are present for 12 months
Each year you go without filing a claim, your annual deductible will be reduced by $50 until it results in a $0 deductible
Copay and deductible waived for emergency life-saving treatment (for accidents only)

Cons

Although Figo overall has excellent reviews, some customers complain that their pet’s treatment wasn’t covered when they expected it to be.
Some may also find Figo’s coverage restrictive—pet owners with reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish can’t sign up for policies from Figo.

How to get covered

Getting a Figo policy is easy. You just need to provide some basic information about your pet online, including:

Your pet’s name
Species and breed
Age
Your zip code

You’ll then be required to make your policy selections. These include the amount of coverage you want, the size of your deductible, and what additional protections—if any—you’d like to add to your policy.

Figo vs. Healthy Paws

One of Figo’s main competitors, Healthy Paws, is another pet insurance provider with a strong track record of good reviews.

However, it’s important to note that while, officially, neither provides coverage for preexisting conditions, Figo may provide some coverage on an individual basis.

Healthy Paws also boasts a payment mailing timeline of three days, but thanks to Figo’s tech-centric approach, owners can see their claims processed in mere hours.

Figo’s lack of age restrictions also set it above Healthy Paws, as HP requires a veterinary examination at or before 6 years of age to qualify. Further, age can disqualify a pet from certain coverage with Healthy Paws, and older pets see significantly higher premiums that are uncommon at Figo.

Thanks to Figo’s quick response time and plethora of contact options, owners will find they have not only an insurer, but a resource in times of need.
