Overview

Figo's pitch is digital-native pet insurance: everything happens in their Pet Cloud app, including claims, vet finder, pet record storage, and a community feed. They offer three plan tiers with annual maxes of $10,000, $14,000, or unlimited.

Coverage includes hereditary conditions, dental illness (after 14-day waiting period), behavioral, alternative therapies, and rehab. Their power-up add-ons let you include exam fees and wellness separately for additional premium. Reimbursement up to 100% (unusual — most cap at 90%).

Figo is smaller than the giants on this list — they don't have the brand recognition of ASPCA or the customer base of Trupanion. The app experience is excellent. Pricing tends to land in the mid-range; sometimes they're the cheapest quote, sometimes not.

Our take

Skip Figo Pet Insurance if: Owners who prefer phone-based customer service, those who don't want to manage policies via app.

Pick Figo Pet Insurance if: Owners who want 100% reimbursement of vet bills, those who like polished app experiences.

Fine print to know

  • 100% reimbursement still requires meeting deductible first.
  • Power-ups can't be added mid-policy — pick them at enrollment.
  • App-first means policy changes require the app or web portal.
