Pros Explained
Figo Pet Insurance offers three customizable plans with diminishing deductibles, including an unlimited coverage option. Plus, you can visit any licensed veterinary practice, emergency hospital, or specialist in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.
Figo’s unique Pet Cloud app provides pet healthcare services such as uploading medical records and sending health reminders and social connections to pet owners. You can receive customer support the way you prefer, including online, text, via phone, or through the Pet Cloud app.
Cons Explained
Figo does not offer an accident-only option and excludes bilateral and pre-existing conditions. The provider charges extra for the option that includes veterinary exams for covered illnesses and injuries. None of Figo’s plans include routine and preventive care, spaying or neutering, breeding, pregnancy, or giving birth. Finally, you will pay slightly more for a cat plan—monthly premiums for cat plans range from $23.53-$33.19 per month, while dog plans range from $19.36-$27.31 per month.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Figo is a quality pet insurance company. You can customize your plan’s annual yearly limit and select unlimited benefits coverage. While Figo does not cover routine and preventive care, their pet health insurance is economical and could be a good choice for those looking for low-cost accident and illness coverage.
