TPLO surgery - 6 year old lab retriever
Our 6 year old lab required TPLO surgery and was scheduled for late March 2020 when Corvid 19 caused the indefinite cancellation of surgery and closure of most everything including veterinary services. As time passed, the dog became severely lame to where we worried the other leg might be compromised. I called Trupanion to explain our problem and to see if Trupanion would still cover medical costs if I was able to locate another surgeon willing to operate under emergency conditions. Staff assured me not to worry, just keep them updated - they're reachable 24 hrs./ 7 days a week. Our local vet was able to locate an emergency surgeon 2 hours away who expeditiously performed the procedure on both legs a few days later. Trupanion came to the rescue and covered all costs for both legs minus our deductible. At all times through the 6 years of coverage, staff have been pleasant, helpful and compassionate. Thank you to all.
