Fetch Pet Insurance
Fetch Pet Insurance is a New York-based provider of comprehensive health insurance for dogs and cats across the United States and Canada. Founded in 2003 by Wharton students Chris and Natasha Ashton, it operated for nearly two decades under the Petplan brand before rebranding as Fetch (initially 'Fetch by The Dodo') in 2022. Backed by Warburg Pincus, Fetch reimburses up to 90% of unexpected vet bills and folds in coverage others charge extra for - exam fees, dental for every adult tooth, behavioral therapy, and telehealth - while protecting more than 500,000 pets.
