Figo offers discounted insurance plans for Costco members’ dogs and cats

by DAN JONES

Pets are our family. Figo Pet Insurance is looking out for them by offering pet insurance to Costco members at an exclusive discount through Independence American Insurance Company.

The Connection recently spoke with Leanna Menozzi, a certified veterinary technician and claims adjuster at Figo, to learn more about ways we can take care of our furry loved ones.

Costco Connection Why is pet insurance important?

Leanna Menozzi Chances are high that an accident or illness will pop up. We never want anyone to have to choose between their savings and their pets. With Figo Pet Insurance, pet parents can get reimbursed for eligible veterinary expenses.

With that in mind, we recommend purchasing a policy as soon as possible to lock in the lowest pricing over the lifetime of your pet and ensure that they have fewer conditions that could be excluded from coverage.

CC How do you recommend researching pet insurance?

LM Look at online reviews, consider what kind of coverage fits your pet best and ask friends, family and veterinarians for their recommendations. Finally, try narrowing down a few top picks and getting quotes for each. That way, you can compare pricing and coverage.

CC Does Figo offer discounts for multiple pets?

LM Yes. Each pet needs to be on their own policy, but you can add multiple pets to your existing account and save 5% on plans in the process.

CC What are the benefits of adding wellness coverage to your policy?

LM Our wellness coverage reimburses you for applicable preventive care that matters most, including exams, vaccines, dental cleanings and more. This can help catch health issues before they become more serious.
