Figo Pet Insurance Cancellation Policy

Here’s Figo’s official cancellation policy verbatim based on the sample pet insurance policy you can find on their website.

You may cancel this Policy at any time by emailing or writing to Us and stating the future date that You wish the cancellation to be effective.

Upon cancellation, You may be entitled to a premium refund. If You provide Us written notice of cancellation within thirty (30) days of the Original Start Date and You have made no Claim, We will refund the premium You paid Us, and the Policy will be canceled.

If You have made a Claim within thirty (30) days of the effective date, the premiums paid for or allocable to the first month of Coverage become fully earned upon the submittal of the Claim, and You will only receive a refund for any premiums paid for periods beyond the first month.

After the first thirty (30) days of the Policy period, We will compute any refund due on a daily pro-rata basis.

How To Cancel Your Figo Pet Insurance Policy

Unlike many other providers, Figo only gives you one option to officially cancel your pet’s policy. According to their website, Figo requires cancellation in writing via email at support@figopetinsurance.com. You cannot cancel in writing by snail mail, by phone, or online.

However, if you have any questions before canceling, call their customer service team at (844) 738-3446. Customer support is available Monday-Friday 7:00am-7:00pm and Saturday 8:00am-6:00pm (CT).

I recommend doing so if you’re unsure about their cancellation terms. Remember, after speaking with one of their agents, you’ll still need to cancel by emailing them.

3 Issues To Consider Before Canceling Your Policy

If you’re unsure whether canceling your Figo policy is your best option, I encourage you to consider these factors before terminating altogether.

1. Other Insurers Will Exclude Pre-Existing Conditions

One of the most significant disadvantages of canceling your Figo policy involves coverage for pre-existing conditions. Any conditions your pet was diagnosed with during the time your dog was enrolled in Figo’s pet insurance will likely be excluded from coverage by any new insurance provider.

This can be a difficult blow if your pup requires ongoing treatment for a chronic condition, such as allergies, arthritis, diabetes, or cancer. I recommend calculating your dog’s medical costs covered by Figo. Are those expenses something you can independently cover yourself?

2. Your Pet’s Age Might Limit Options

Your current Figo policy covers your pet for life. However, if you cancel your policy and have an elderly pet, you may not be able to find a new pet insurance policy that meets your budget and needs. Some providers have age limits and won’t insure pets once they reach a certain age (limits vary by provider).

3. Illnesses & Accidents Can Occur Anytime

Some people cancel pet insurance because they’ve never had to submit a claim. If your pet has never had any medical problems, you’re lucky. But keep in mind that accidents and health conditions can pop up at any time. Even if you plan on enrolling your pup with a new insurance provider, you’ll have waiting periods before your new policy’s coverage kicks in.
