Can’t decide between Furkin and other pet insurance providers?

Reviews by real Furkin customers
If you're having doubts about getting Furkin pet insurance just read the Policy Document Online and compare. I highly recommend Furkin and have premium plans for both of my new fur babies. My monthly payments are 15% less and my deductible is 50% less than other companies. I chose Furkin because, for all eligible accidents, illnesses, and emergencies that require a vet visit, your exam fee is included in coverage whereas this is not always the case with other pet insurance companies and you only pay 20% out of pocket for claims.

We adopted our little kitty Cricket in February of last year and after doing some research decided to get pet insurance through Furkin "just in case". So glad we did!! In just over a year she has been diagnosed with asthma and then struvite urinary crystals. Both of those diagnoses came with lots of tests, vet visits, and treatments. Furkin processed all our claims very quickly and I'm happy we chose them as our insurance provider.

My poor pup broke her leg jumping off a couch and the vet said she would need surgery and would have to wear a splint for 4 weeks. I’m so glad I got insurance because the total cost came out to just under $8K and Furkin covered 80% of the cost. Well worth it and super thankful we have it or it would have been a very tough expense for me.

Before I committed to Furkin I called to speak to an agent. I did the same for other per insurance providers. Furkin’s agent was knowledgeable and very helpful. The call was about education and no high pressure sales. Other providers were extremely high pressure and didn’t answer all my concerns. After a 20 minute call with Furkin I enrolled my dog Moose in their insurance program. I feel now that I have a peace of mind if my dog gets ill or injured. I hope to never use my policy but it’s there when I need it.

Thinking about making the switch?

"Great name and great coverage! It was so easy to not only find all the information I needed to make an informed decision to switch from our old provider but it was super fast, easy and convenient to sign my dogs up!

I had questions that were answered promptly through email and am so happy with the services provided, the coverage, and the affordability of this pet insurance.

 

I now pay half of what I did with our old insurance company and it feels Furkin good. 

I appreciate that there are no hidden fees and you clearly indicate when rates will increase with age and by how much!"

  • Vaccines and routine/preventive care
