Beware: Pricing will skyrocket over the years
The price quoted is not constant! We are now paying 300% our original quote and have had zero claims.
We have been with Trupanion now for 11 years. We got the most basic package at the time for $35/month, due to us having a Vet in the family that can do check ups and small procedures. I assumed since we started this as a puppy the rate would be constant, similar to other insurances. However, after a year or two it started shooting up. We are now paying $106/month!!!
I phoned and they said there was no mistake made, but they could not provide a good reason for the 300% increase. We have not had a single claim. They told us it's probably because we moved... but we moved about 6 blocks away from when this plan started.
At this point my dog is old and I would be crazy to cancel now. Unfortunately, Trupanion is aware of this and is taking full advantage.
I'm sure I've paid close to $10k into this plan over the years. I would say there is a big lesson to be learned here. Next time I will just put money aside every month instead of being gouged by Trupanion.
