Fetch Wellness is add-on coverage.
Fetch covers what Healthy Paws does not, including:
Sick-visit exam fees — saving you $50 - $250, on average, per appointment. Healthy Paws doesn’t cover this.
Up to $1,000 in virtual vet visits (video chat, call or text). Healthy Paws doesn’t offer this.
Comprehensive dental coverage for injury and disease in every adult tooth. Healthy Paws doesn’t offer coverage for every tooth.
Up to $1,000 in behavioral therapy and medicine. Healthy Paws doesn’t do that.
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance doesn’t cover every tooth — Fetch does
Fetch Pet Insurance covers injury and disease in every adult tooth, not just the canines. Plus, you get full coverage for periodontal disease (the most common disease in dogs and cats), oral tumors, trauma and more.
Healthy Paws doesn’t cover any form of dental disease and only covers accidents like broken teeth.
Fetch covers hip dysplasia in dogs 6+ years
If it’s not a pre-existing condition, Fetch protects all pets after 6 months with no age limitations for any covered condition.
If you’re enrolling a pet that is 6 years or older, Healthy Paws won’t cover any hip dysplasia claims.
Healthy Paws has a lifetime limit on how much they’ll pay you back
Healthy Paws has a limit on how much they will reimburse you for veterinary treatment over the lifetime of your pet.
Fetch doesn't have lifetime limits.
With Healthy Paws Pet Insurance, you’ll have to pay for exam fees
Fetch covers the full sick visit — including exam fees, saving you $50-$250, on average, per visit.
Healthy Paws does not cover exam fees.
With Fetch, you’ll get 100% reimbursement on pet meds
With Fetch, you can order your pet’s medications from our online pharmacy, Fetch Pet Rx, and we’ll reimburse 100% of your out-of-pocket expenses.
Healthy Paws doesn’t offer this. Fetch is the only pet insurance provider that pays you back 100% of the cost of your pet’s meds — with $0 copay — when you use Fetch Pet Rx.
What should you consider when you’re comparing pet insurance providers?
What does the coverage include?
Not all pet insurance plans are created equally. If a provider doesn’t cover a condition your pet has or treatment they need, you won’t be able to file a claim and get paid back for it — which means you could run into some serious costs. Take a close look at all limitations and exclusions for a given pet insurance plan, which can include factors like upper age limits and exclusions for breed-specific conditions.
How much can you customize the price?
Getting a plan that works for your pet and your budget is key. With Fetch, you can customize your plan, including choosing your deductible, max annual payout and reimbursement rate. Not all providers let you customize your price like this.
What matters the most to you?
Every plan is different, and every pet parent is, too. Some people only want protection in case of injury and illness — the unexpected stuff you can’t see coming — while others also want coverage for things like chronic conditions. Make sure that what you’re paying for is what is best for your pet’s needs and your budget.
