If you are planning on getting a dog, you NEED Trupanion.
When my husband and I found our dog, Harvey, we purchased Trupanion the same day. We had hopes that we would never have to use it, and it would just be for an accident or if something happened we wouldn't have to question getting him the medical help he needed. At two years old, Harvey was diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy and he had to go see a Veterinary Neurologist. When they said the price of the MRI and Spinal Tap, I didn't even flinch, because I knew we had Trupanion.
Two weeks later (and after a year and a half of skin infections and ear infections), Harvey had to go see a Veterinary Dermatologist and go through allergy testing. Again, I didn't flinch when they said the price, because I knew we had Trupanion (and already met our deductible!).
Harvey now takes 3,000mg of Keppra a day and is on twice weekly allergy shots (with the occasional CADI Injection from his wonderful Veterinarian!) We submitted close to $4,000 to Trupanion in a matter of a 4 week period. Within a week of submitting the claim the money was deposited back into my bank account. If we didn't have Trupanion, it would of been choosing between paying for something and paying for Harvey's medical bills. I will never have to make that choice, EVER.
There will never be a time that I have to worry about Harvey's health or well being. I never imagined that our dog would have Idiopathic Epilepsy or allergies (where he needed shots). I can't recommend to get Trupanion enough when you get a dog. We adopted our second lab almost a year ago, the day we picked her up we also signed up for Trupanion. It looks like she might have to go through allergy testing as well, but I'll never have to worry about her either.
