I still don't get it . How is this different from pet insurance?
No worries! We are doing something brand new so it can be hard to wrap your head around at first, but we promise it's simple.
GoFetch Health memberships are designed to cover every day vet expenses. Pet insurance doesn't usually cover exam fees and is designed to cover unpredictable care needs. By focusing on providing owners with access to vet support and lowering the costs of the vet visit, we help make your expected vet care simple and affordable. Our membership can complement your pet insurance or work as a standalone option.
Why do you only cover exam fees? Also, what's an exam fee anyway?
The exam (consultation/visit) fee is a base cost that is charged for every vet visit. This fee can be a big barrier to bringing your pet in, and many people delay care because they worry the vet will charge them $100 just to tell them their pet is just fine. We wanted to eliminate this barrier, and make sure more pets get the care they need. Between our 24/7 online support and covered exams, you always have the answers you need, and we prevent countless unnecessary visits.
And by splitting up the yearly cost of preventative care into a small monthly fee, we make it easier to budget for your pet's health care!
But wait, this sounds too good to be true?
You caught us. We think this plan is pretty awesome and that members get a tremendous amount of value. Preventing one unnecessary visit to the emergency clinic can save owners $$$$. Here is the thing, better pet health is good for everyone, including your vet. We partner with local veterinary clinics to be able to offer this modern experience to their clients and in exchange we get discounts on the exam costs that we pass on to you. Vets save time and energy knowing that their patients are getting the help they need both inside and outside the clinic and pet parents receive the digital support they want without having to change vets. Plus, most importantly, pets are healthier.
