Coverage

Does pet insurance cover flea, tick and heartworm medication?

Yes – you can get flea, tick and heartworm prevention coverage with Fetch Wellness, an add-on to Fetch Pet Insurance. Usually prescribed by your vet, flea, tick and heartworm preventives come in the form of an easy-to-administer chewable pill or topical product. Preventive medication keeps your pet safe from harmful parasites and disease-carrying insects, and vets typically recommend that your pet take preventive meds year-round. Heartworm testing is also covered under Fetch Wellness.

Additionally, Fetch Members have access to Fetch Pet Rx, our online pet pharmacy with the guaranteed lowest prices on your pet’s prescription meds as well as everyday pet essentials — including your pet’s heartworm, flea and tick preventive care.
