Trupanion saved our boxer Sawyer!
We purchased insurance for our boxer Sawyer when he was just a puppy. When you buy insurance you hope that you never need to use it. Our friends and family thought we were crazy to spend $50-60 a month on insurance for our dog. Our dog, Sawyer is part of our family and his health care was important to us. Just after his 7th birthday he started vomitting. After several tests over the course of a few weeks our vet discovered a tumor via ultra sound. We opted to do ahead with exploratory surgery to biopsy the tumor to see if it was cancer or not. We were told that the location was very close to the stomach and was a lot of risk to just do the biopsy and at that time it was unknown if the tumor could be removed or not. However we had a wonderful surgeon who was able to remove the tumor that day! It was cancer and he got ALL of it. Following surgery Sawyer's pancreas became inflamed and he needed to stay in hospital for 10 extra days. And after coming home he was on a feeding tube so we could get the proper nutrition in him to recover. It was a very stressful time. Having insurance took the added stress of money out of the equation so we could just focus on getting Sawyer better. Sawyer is home with us now and still has a long road of recovery. He's getting healthier every day! Thank you to all the great staff at our vet clinic who took such great care of him. And because of the wonderful people at trupanion for taking the time to call us during that stressful time to reassure us that the bills were covered and give us their support! Our pets will always have trupanion insurance. They are part of the family now. Thank you helping us save Sawyers life!
