Pet Insurance in Illinois
Protection for your soulful sidekick
Flexible Plans For Pets in the Windy City
Whether you have a dog who loves to romp on your Gallatin County farm or a cat who enjoys living the high-rise life in Chicago, Figo has the pet insurance coverage you need.
Did you know that Illinois has some of the highest veterinary costs in the nation? Pet owners in the Land of Lincoln pay about $1,300 on average per year for their pet's medical costs. In comparison, pet owners in nearby Missouri spend only $900 on vet care a year.
How can Figo help?
Unfortunately, veterinary bills for major illnesses or injuries can often run into the thousands of dollars. Figo's plans may help take the sting out of your veterinary bills by paying a substantial portion of those costs for you.
How does Figo's pet insurance in Illinois work?
Figo understands that when your pet is sick or injured, you don't want to worry about whether your insurance will be accepted at your veterinarian's office. So, we won't force you to use in-network vet professionals.
Instead, you're free to take your cat or dog to your favorite veterinarian, a specialist, or to the closest emergency pet hospital, worldwide!
We've made it easy to file your claims.
Pssst - on average, most claims close in just 2.6 working days.
