Figo | Pet Insurance Review

It's useful and I like it too much

I’ve had an excellent experience with FIGO Pet Insurance. The service has been outstanding — I submitted my reimbursement request and received my payment back much faster than I expected. The process was easy and smooth, and the pricing is very reasonable for the coverage you get. I highly recommend FIGO for anyone looking for reliable and efficient pet insurance.

If you’re thinking about getting pet insurance through Figo, I’m begging you to hear my story first. I took out a policy with them in September for both of our miniature schnauzers. One of them had been dealing with allergies, and I wanted to make sure we were doing everything we could to keep him healthy and protected. Then, out of nowhere, our sweet dog was diagnosed in November with a rare and devastating form of cancer—something we never could have prepared for. It was a shock, and all we wanted was to get him the care he needed. But when we filed our claims with Figo, hoping the insurance we’d been faithfully paying for would help, they denied every single one. They labeled everything as “pre-existing,” even though the cancer was diagnosed months after our policy began and confirmed by our veterinarian. It felt like they were looking for any excuse to say no. Because of those denials, the costs piled up quickly. We did everything we could for him, and thankfully we were able to cover the bills—but I kept thinking about families who couldn’t. No one should ever have to choose between paying their bills and saving their pet’s life. The hardest part came when our beloved dog lost his battle with cancer. In the middle of grieving, I submitted a claim for his final expenses, hoping at the very least they would honor that. They denied it too. That last denial was like a final blow. Figo has been the most disappointing and heartbreaking insurance experience I’ve ever had. My hope in sharing this is simple: to spare someone else from going through what we did. If your pet is sick or suddenly faces something serious, you need an insurance company that will stand by you—not one that turns away when you need them most.

Their claim processing is fine but their customer service is terrible. Twice I have reached out to them inquiring about very specific coverages on my policy and all we received were boiler plate answers to refer to our policy coverage paperwork. Duh! That’s why I reached out to them to explain what is covered and what isn’t. I’m not a lawyer and only asked for specifics before procedures were to be done. They answered both times to have the procedures done and then submit a claim to see if they provide coverage. Not professional is any way.

Very easy to deal with FIGO. The app is user friendly and the reimbursement is true to the contract. I've been with them for over a year, and I still love them!
