I’ve been paying $90 a month expecting peace of mind for my pet’s health. Instead, I’ve received nothing but frustration. Not a single one of my claims has been approved – not even the most basic or clearly eligible expenses. Every time I submit a claim, it feels like they find some excuse to deny it. Their customer service is slow, unhelpful, and seems more interested in avoiding payouts than actually supporting pet owners. What’s the point of insurance if it never actually covers anything? I feel completely scammed. This company has taken thousands from me and given absolutely nothing in return. Save your money and avoid this company at all costs.

I just wanted wellness. But your site states that I had to get accidental. It also states that accidental would not be approved for 2 weeks and wellness was right away. You guys wanted 2 months in advance. No problem. I scheduled my pup for a wellness visit and went to print out the docs. Both the wellness and accidental was effective in 2 weeks. Talking about a bait and switch. So I called the rep and she stated to me a lie….”oh yeah, if you would have just had the wellness alone, it is right away.” That’s a lie because your policy states that you had to have accidental with all plans chosen. I even went back in to disprove her statement. So I had to cancel her visit because had I went in, it would have been all out of pocket costs and they wouldn’t have covered anything.

My claim for the treatment of a bladder infection of our cat was not reimbursed by Figo, referring to a comment in his file that, according to me and our vet, has no causal link with bladder infection whatsoever. Our cat developed a bladder infection 5 weeks after taking out the insurance, so in essence Figo's suggestion is that I would purposefully have registered our cat while he already had a bladder infection, and then let him walk around with it for 1½ months, just to be able to declare the invoice? What an annoying and also disrespectful insinuation..... It now appears that our cat is not insured for a whole series of conditions as a result. If I had known this in advance, I would never have insured my cat with Figo. I therefore believe that Figo's registration procedure is seriously inadequate and places a disproportionate amount of responsibility on the policyholder. I registered a 100% healthy animal in good faith, and Figo is looking for a reason in the file to avoid a claim. It would be fairer for Figo to give a person who applies the claim the option to have the file reviewed, so that any exclusions are clear in advance. Because of this omission, I am now paying a year's premium for a cat that is barely insured. Even after filing a formal complaint, Figo does not say a word about the inadequate registration procedure and does not move an inch towards a lenient treatment. Very disappointing! My advice is therefore to have Figo assess the file of an older animal with a file at the vet first, to avoid any nasty surprises later on.

They refuse to cover ANYTHING and will blatantly lie and gaslight you when you try to confront them about anything. They told me my cat had "never received a dental cleaning" even though it was CLEARLY in his claims records that he has one before. They just adamantly denied it and said "well you can try to appeal if you want". They are a SCAM.

It is so difficult to understand the policy. I have been submit a claimed and still pending that I don't understand at all what the problem. There is request the medical records from 7/29/2024 which I don't have a puppy yet. I have my puppy in Jan,2025. He got sick in Jan 29 and I couldn't claim that one because of the insurance that I bought was not kick in yet. But after that still now all the claimed I submitted is still pending.

Don’t use this pet insurance. Firstly the app never works, which is why the process is horrible. 2nd they considered constipation as a preexisting condition which is why my claim was denied (which is absolutely insane) 3rd customer service is absolutely zero help. I am disputing the claim but I doubt anything will happen. Waste of money. Tell people to not use them!

Website kept glitching and telling me it didn't go through, only to go find I got 2 confirmation emails that my application is being reviewed

I still never got answers on whether my issue was resolved!

I have had Nationwide pet insurance for my pets for close to 8 years. I now have 3 pet policies and never had 1 claim on any of them. My oldest pet now 8 years old had a policy renewal this month. My monthly plan is around $50 per month, with this years renewal my payment we up to around $90. This is an increase of $35 PER MONTH!!!! On a policy that has not had ONE claim. This is the SECOND increase in 13 months, I had an $10 increase last year upon renewal. That is almost an increase of $50 in 13 months! While I understand the need to adjust the premium, but my monthly payment has almost doubled in 13 months. I called and was told the increase in a result of the average of the issues other pets of the same age and breed have had and the ONLY way to lower the payment amount is to raise my deductible. So let me get this straight, I started my policy 8 years ago choosing the lowest deductible paying more each month so in the event we needed to use the policy it would be less out of pocket. Now the only way to lower my almost doubled monthly premium is to raise my deductible which means MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET if I need to use the policy. I should have used the higher deductible amount all along!!!! I've paid nearly $4,000 over a 8 year period to keep my deductible lower and now the only way to be able to afford this policy is to raise my deductible from $250 to $1,000. So assuming I need to use this policy, I'm out $1,000 on top of the premiums I've already paid, so close to $5,000. Why have insurance!!!! Now my pet is too old to go anywhere else without paying more. Well done Nationwide Pet...WELL DONE! Kudos for figuring out how to really stick it to you long time clients!

The website is a nightmare. If you upload claims, they get lost. Customer service is abysmal. I am constantly having to call to straighten out my claims. I have two dogs, they always go to vet together, and so I have to send all pages of claim forms for each dog, that’s Ok, but they constantly screw it up. I finally spoke with a claims manager about the mess. It says it will take 5 days to review claims, it’s more like 20-25. Problem is once you are with a company you can’t change because of pre existing conditions.
