Trupanion | Pet Insurance Review

.I rescued my Golden Retriever, Jackson, from a hell hole in Mississippi when he was approx 10-13 mo old. He was emaciated and had EXTREME seperation anxiety. We quickly became best Pals... We began to overcome a lot of his issues with Time, Love and Patience.... but his anxiety would rear its ugly head, usually in the form of eating things that he shouldnt, or garbage diving the second I turned my attention away. Noticing these tendencies, I called Trupanion and became a client. About 8 months into our lives together, Jackson consumed a corn-cob, which he scrounged up somewhere along the line (we have no idea where)... which was then got stuck in his small intestine. We were floored when the emergency vet said, it'll cost about $7,000 -- which credit card will you be putting this on? I called trupanion in a panic. The woman on the other end of the line was empathetic, caring, and had a tone of voice which made me believe they were 100% willing to help us. When Jackson was released post - surgery... we sent the bill, and they refunded us BEFORE the charges even hit our card. It made saying yes to the surgery so much easier. A few months later -- Jackson was back in the hospital for a high fever. It took months of testing to come to the diagnosis that he had "auto-immune disease". A lifelong disease which would require extremely expensive medication for the rest of his life. There trupanion was again... by our side, re-assuring us that they wouldnt drop us because of this. 3 weeks ago, with tears in my eyes.... Jackson was back in the hospital again. I had taken so many precautions to keep him safe... yet some how, he had found another corn-cob... and this time it had not only torn open his previous surgical site... it had perferated in 3 other places, and he needed a full bowel resection, or he would be dead within a day. Now at this point I had to say to myself... do I need to put him down... Trupanion won't cover him for this... AGAIN. I was so wrong. The same empathy... this time with the re-assurance that, "This is what we're here for... for dogs like Jackson. We've got your back." Jackson now sports a heavy duty muzzle when he leaves the house, but is still here today thanks to the skill of his surgeons... and thanks to the support of Trupanion. I wish I could be more articulate, to express my thanks... Doing business with them has been one of the best decisions I ever made.

I am aware and understand that a physical exam and/or follow exams are not covered, but when a pet (in this case, my dog) is receiving chemotherapy treatments weekly, along with steroids, has a thyroid problem, and also takes 2 medications for cardiomyopathy, there needs to be an assessment to make sure the pet is well enough for his treatment. This assessment is NOT covered by Trupanion, IT SHOULD BE.

Trupanion is one of the best companies to work with. They are friendly, fast, and kind. They do exactly what they promise and go above and beyond. My little dog is the center of our family, and she is alive and thriving today because of the wonderful support of Trupanion. I recommend Trupanion to every pet lover that I meet!

Our 6 month old shih tzu, Sassy, was in for spaying and umbelical hernia repair. Our vet found she also had decidious teeth that was not loose and interfering with the formation and placement of permanent teeth. With our permission, she pulled these teeth while having her under anesthetic for the other things. While Trupanion does not cover spaying or the umbilical hernia (pre-existing), they promptly paid for the teeth removal and part of the anesthetic. The claim was handled promptly and completely to my satisfaction. Best decision I made was to get Trupanion. I have peace of mind.

I have 6 dogs insured with Trupanion, I only had positive experience with them. I have a lot of clients with dogs and I recommend Trupanion all the time They are the best
