Pros
Verdict
Fetch Pet generally receives positive feedback from consumers who praise its fast claims processing, helpful customer service, and easy-to-navigate mobile app. Many policyholders highlight the financial relief and peace of mind provided during stressful emergency vet visits. While a small subset of reviews notes frustrations regarding pre-existing condition exclusions, communication hurdles, or application errors, the overall sentiment remains heavily favourable among satisfied customers.
I am extremely happy with Fetch. My 1yr has injured her cruciate ligaments and had X-rays. I put claim in on Friday and was approved and paid on Monday. So quick and seamless I was very impressed.
My vet was slow at responding to sending my pets information, but the Fetch Pet team were awesome in keeping the progress updated, so I could assist by hassling our vet. Lol. Honestly, fabulous feedback from this group and money deposited into my account within hours of our vets response.
After 2 years of being with Fetch I've just now needed to use them and I'm so grateful for them. They made the process easy, quick and simple. They were so helpful the entire time. No long waiting times and the chat function is so convenient. The pre-approval really eased any concerns and their 100% back option which I'm covered for has been… Read more
amazing. It was well worth the small weekly amount to be covered for our boy. The cover and the team at Fetch really took the money worry out of the already stressful situation. It was amazing to be able to confidently sit in the vet and agree to what needed doing, and ASAP, without the stress of the bill. We all know how quickly they rack up for each individual aspect of a treatment. If there's one thing you do for your pet, let it be insurance. The prayer is always that you never use it. But for the price of a drink and a snack eaxh week, it's the peace of mind you and your pup deserves. Thanks Fetch <3

Recently our Staffy Caspian needed surgery, xrays and extra hospitalisation due to knee and cruciate ligament issues on the right back leg. Not only was our local vet just PAWSOME but so was FETCH. Brooke the consultant I spoke with often online was fantastic at offering information, updates and concern for our boy. Our rebates were also paid, for… Read more
which I am truly grateful. Brooke was also able to discuss directly with our vet's admin team to ensure a complete story could be ascertained so payment could be made promptly. I thank the Fetch team for the support they offered. The journey has been tricky but now heading in the right direction. Once Fetch and our vet can do the gap only payment from us, all will be perfect...but have to say another Pawsome from us.

Every single customer service representative we came into contact with over the last 2 1/2 years have been nothing short of excellence. Truly are remarkable, thought and caring Couldn’t recommend any more Thank you so much
Really good customer service. They don’t let you with no answer. Always someone pick up the chat to help you out. Coco is well covered with Fetch. Show reply
Fetch has been amazing! Super easy app, quick responses in the chat, fast claims, and they even sent Cooper a toy during chemo. I've never had this level of support and care from a pet insurer. They treat you like a human not just a policy. Best decision I made was going with fetch! Show reply
I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. The team at Fetch (in particular Emily) have made the process of my dog being diagnosed with diabetes immeasurably easier. The team are empathetic, patient, and have put a smile on my face on days I’ve been overwhelmed and incredibly upset. I am so relieved I switched to Fetch last year, as they have helped… Read more · 1
me and my dog’s life so much now that he requires a lot of extra medical care and love. Their customer service is unmatched!
I absolutely recommend Fetch insurance cover for my little dog. Easy to use app and fast response. Show reply
I can not fault our very first experience with Fetch. Our dog was hit by a car & we were completely beside ourselves, had never been through anything like this nor needed Fetch for anything up until now but they were brilliant & went over & above helping us through this traumatic time & even checking in how our little puppy was going. Highly recommend & very grateful for them taking over when we were not thinking straight. Show reply
I cannot state how happy I am with Fetch and the service and communication. Highly recommend. When little Henry got sick and nearly didn't make it , knowing we could afford his treatment was priceless. Show 2 replies
I’ve had my two cats get sick one after the other and it was such a relief not having to worry about my pet insurance on top of it. Fetch was responsive and very easy to deal with. It really felt they had my back. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Fetch team! Show reply

I’ve had such a positive experience with Fetch, especially with Darci. My dog needed surgery to remove an eyelid mass, and naturally I was already worried about the procedure. Darci was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She kept me updated, followed up with the vet clinic, and even called them directly to help get FetchPay set up… Read more · 1
before the surgery.
Everything was explained clearly and I always knew what was happening next. Once the clinic was set up with FetchPay, the claim was assessed quickly and Fetch could pay the clinic directly, which meant I didn’t have to pay the full treatment cost upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
Juniper’s treatment came to $2,146.73 and Fetch covered $1,717.38, exactly in line with my 80% cover.
Insurance is something you hope you never need to use, but when you actually do, this is the kind of service you want. Having someone actively help instead of just telling me what forms to fill out made a stressful day so much easier.
Thank you Darci and the Fetch team for looking after Juniper and making the whole process so smooth. Really appreciate it. ❤️
Fetch have been amazing with help for my little frenchie, from the small stuff to bigger surgeries I have found them so easy and helpful to deal with. My claims are processed quickly without any hassle. Would absolutely recommend this pet insurance. Emily from Fetch has been an angel, responding and helping out with all my questions. Show reply
What incredible customer service the Fetch team provide! I took out cover the week we got our beautiful puppy and didn't think we'd ever need to use it, but was good to have it there in case of emergency. Little did I know 10 months later he would get allergies and the treatment costs would add up quickly. Being able to communicate through the app… Read more · 1
with real people, upload documents and have them contact the vet for the info needed, super super fast refund costs, I can't recommend them highly enough!!!
I have been nothing but impressed with Fetch! Payments are made within the 48 hours even over a weekend. The little message of hoping he is ok when contacted to confirm coverage is a nice touch as well. Our boy has started a journey for focal epilepsy and knowing he is 100% covered is an enormous relief. Thank you Fetch, I highly recommend you :) Show reply
Great service all my questions were answered, I'm very pleased with the results, my cat Masie is happy as well Show reply
Great service and my video shows more details...including a hilarious view of me...looking like something only my dog would love. Show reply

Just changing over to Fetch Pet and needed to ask a question and add details after downloading App. This was done very easily and quickly and sorted for me. Looking forward to my Fetch cover Show reply
Follow-up · I changed over to Fetch after comparing prices and found I was paying more per month for my existing Pet Insurance. I found the App very easy to set up and use and needed to add some details about another vet we had attended. So far I have not had to make a claim.
A Pet Insurer like none you've experienced before. Even more friendly and caring for our animal friends than RSPCA or Medibank private or others in my personal experience and dealings with them . Kind hearted team of vets, vet nurses and pet lovers… Read more · 2
who understand what it means to care for our animals and can be relied upon at times of distress. Easy App Access online portal to lodge and follow up with claims, keep in touch with inquiries, get clarification with what is covered with no confusing constantly changing and precluding PDS documents other Insurers use to evade mutual agreements. I am very pleased and happy for selecting Fetch and benefiting from their innovative first in Australia approach in Pet care support system and App development.
Follow-up · A year later and the service and support received from Fetch and their team has remained friendly, efficient, supportive and timely with inquiries or claims. The use of App for lodging claims is also swift and easy. There has been moderate increase to monthly premiums that is about $15+ per month.
Fantastic claims experience I’ve been really impressed with Fetch Pet Insurance. My vet sent through the invoice for my dog’s treatment and within about 15 minutes the claim had been processed, Fetch had paid their portion and I had paid the gap.… Read more · 1
Everything was completely sorted.
The whole process was incredibly quick and easy, with no chasing people up or waiting around wondering what was happening. When you’re dealing with a pet that needs veterinary treatment, the last thing you want is extra stress over insurance.
I’ve had a very positive experience with Fetch and their claims process and would happily recommend them. Excellent service.
I reckon that’s a proper five-star review — especially considering you didn’t even have to pay the whole vet bill upfront and then wait to be reimbursed. That’s the bit pet insurance companies should make easy.
Follow-up · Since my original review I’ve had to make another claim, and once again the process was excellent. Customer service has been fantastic — very responsive, helpful and everything has been dealt with quickly. Signing up was also very easy and straightforward. The monthly premium isn’t the cheapest pet insurance I could get, but for me that isn’t… Read more

Darci helped me raise a claim for one of our german,wired haired pointers who were attacked. Darci showed compassion and respect throughout the process. Made for a great experience.
Visiting the vet is stressful and getting quotes for fixing teeth is very daunting. Fetch were great in providing an easy service. Everything was done in one chat from preappoval to claim. I directly chatted to one consultant so she knew the context and I didnt have to repeat myself. Show reply
We have never had pet insurance before but with our latest addition we thought we may need it. Claiming on a visit is quick and easy. You make a stressful time a little less stressful. You guys rock! Show reply

Totally unhappy with how this company treats a simple thing as a pre existing condition! Totally ludicrous and canceled straight away for a better abd cheaper pet insurance
Put claim in well bets sent it direct twice then done via app total time 3 months, could not shear to anyone in person Chat had baby people only part of queries answered then going messages after hrs from overseas vet To get told not covered 1 totally understood Cancelled insurance in end this if my 4th pet insurance over the years and previous ones so much better, went to Another insurer
Hi, Leah here. I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had a… Read more (+2 replies)
Rejected the claim because the condition had happened in the past. Called it a pre-existing condition which was not the case. Just because there is a disease in the past doesnt mean that it becomes a pre-existing condition for insurance purpose

Better cover at ½ the price of South-African-owned PetSure’s offerings. PetSure (Hollard) own most of the pet insurance brands in Australia, deceptively marketing their brands as separate and independent, when in reality, they are all run out of the same office in Chatswood, Sydney; when you think you’re changing insurance, you’re not!! … Read more · 2
Recently, I took out PetSure policies online for our new dogs. I then got a quote from FETCH as an afterthought, as our Vet recently recommended FETCH. FETCH’S online quote offered BETTER COVER, at literally LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE of PetSure! I couldn’t email PetSure fast enough, to cancel the insurance I’d taken out only hours prior.
I’m SO GLAD we got a quote from FETCH; It was really easy to sign up online. Since joining, we have found FETCH customer service FANTASTIC and responsive.
I had a bad experience with a PetSure brand years ago. I’m upset with myself that I even considered going back to a PetSure brand, when there are MUCH BETTER, AUSTRALIAN-OWNED brands to choose from!
We are SOOOOOO happy we chose FETCH!! ❤️❤️❤️. Keep up the great work!
My partner recommended Fetch to me years ago, mentioning Fetch has been easy to use, quick/easy to claim, and cute in UI design, for the dog. Finally I am staring with Fetch, and it is the first insurance company that I’ve dealt with, which, in the communication, never sounded like an insurance company. Fetch’s staff members show care, they… Read more · 1
might have been sending some words or sentences that were still from a script, but they feel like a human being team who cares about my pet and me.
I’m a new member and I’m already very happy choosing Fetch for my third cat. Fetch has the option to skip the waiting period, and after uploading some required pics and vids, we just skipped the waiting period for the cat, before the policy even started! I’m in the process of transferring my other cat to Fetch from another company that just belongs to a huge “umbrella insurance company.”
The only thing is that Fetch doesn’t start new policies for pets over 10 years of age, and I’ll have to leave my 16-year-old happy and still healthy cat with another company for now.
