Paw Protect vs Figo: Claims process

Paw Protect’s optional $2,000 interest-free line of credit means when you pay a vet bill* of $2,000 or less (most claims are less than $2,000), you don’t need to tap into your bank account to pay the bill up-front. 

  • Use your virtual Paytient Visa card, accepted at any US vet*
  • The claims process is simple, like regular insurance
  • Submit the claim paperwork via our app, online, by email or through the mail
  • Use your reimbursement to pay down your Paytient balance and pay off any remaining out-of-pocket costs over up to 12 months interest free

Figo needs to review your pet’s full medical history before processing your first claim, which is done online via the Figo Pet Cloud.

Figo also subtracts its copay before removing your deductible, while Paw Protect removes your deductible first.
