Wouldn't pay my claim

First, let me start by saying I understand that the coverage did not cover STANDARD periodontal disease. That being said, my 3 year old cat had a rapidly progressing (less than 6 months) dental issue, with restorative lesions and severe mouth pain. She had trouble eating due to the pain, and we got her in for the procedure as soon as we could. She ended up having 13 teeth extracted. Pet's Best insisted this was your run-of-the-mill periodontal disease, like you would see in an older cat, that progresses over the years. My 3 year old cat (She's a Norwegian, so not even fully mature) got her wellness exams on a regular basis, and had stellar teeth up until her exam in April 2017, when the vet said we would need to have some extractions done by the end of the year. Her teeth deteriorated so quickly, we needed to take her in 5 months later for the extractions. I had to appeal their decision twice, and I finally got a judgement. My deductible is $500 (the procedure was over $1,000), and they paid me $490 and change - toward my deductible. They only paid for two of the 13 tooth extractions. I've had Pet's Best for many years, and have never filed a claim. I will no longer be using this company.

Thank you, Trupanion!

Trupanion, you’ve converted me. I was one of those people that thought pet insurance was silly. My thinking was, “It’s a dog. Yes, she’s a family member and we love her; but she is a dog, we don't want to prolong her life if she's in pain just so we can have more time with her.” Then everything changed starting in May of last year when our 9 ½ year old Bouvier des Flandres, Lilly Pop, was diagnosed with Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia (ITP). Essentially, she had ZERO platelets in her blood and was in danger of spontaneous bleed out. She was bleeding in her gums and internally. After a 5 day stay at the veterinary hospital, which included a padded crate and a weak dosage of chemotherapy delivered intravenously, she was allowed to come home with 8 prescriptions we would be giving her 2 times per day. Over the next few months, I think she had most all adverse reactions to the 2 strongest medications required to treat this disease, before we were able to begin gradually decreasing the dosage. At 6 months, she was completely off the medication and her platelets were back to normal and holding and she was back to her normal self, a 10 year old permanent puppy. We are so thankful to have this beautiful, fun-loving easy going, gentle dog with us for the following years that are left. We would have probably not spent the >$10,000 to possibly prolong her life, as there were no guarantees the treatment was going to work. Having the insurance, meant we did not have to make that difficult decision.

After working in veterinary services for quite some time, Trupanion is by far the easiest insurance company to deal with. I use it for my dog because I know they will cover my pet and let myself and the hospital know within a few hours or less.

I recommend Trupanion all the time! You guys have been great about reimbursing me for Kerry's expenses, I never in my wildest dreams expected to have such a medically challenged dog. Every time I get a positive response from you I breathe a sigh of relief.
