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.

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.
