Great company to work with!

My dog needed to have surgery to remove a couple masses for biopsy. Between the surgery and the follow ups the money added up. I submitted the claims and they were processed the next day. Checks are in the mail. On top of that customer service reached out to see how my dog was recovering. I thought that was a very nice touch, one that I had not expected.

Waste of money

I signed up since there was a discount as a Costco membership holder. I haven't gotten my claim money, and it's been several months, and I haven't heard from them despite emailing. Currently paying $40 a month for absolutely nothing.

Best pet insurance company!

Healthy Paws has been a fantastic pet insurance company! The company makes it so easy to submit claims - and getting reimbursed happens very quickly - usually only 1-2 days. I love seeing the reimbursement show up automatically in my bank account. I highly recommend Healthy Paws!

Pets Best truly the best

My sweet pup was unfortunately hit by a car in September and was hospitalized for 4 days. I’m so glad I have Pets Best and that they do direct payment to the clinic. That took such a financial burden off my back because I didn’t have to pay up front and I could get my pup the best care possible without having to worry about finances. Their direct payment took about 5-6 weeks from the time I submitted my claim and the insurance liaison at Wheat Ridge was very helpful in the process. I also purchased a wellness benefit for my pup and their reimbursement for that is very quick and covers quite a bit, I highly recommend it.

Can't get easier or better!

This is my first year using Lemonade and I'm more than impressed! It was very easy to sign up and they explained all of my options in an easy to understand manner. Actually having options was amazing too! I could choose to cover specific things, like an annual exam, for example, rather than having everything lumped in, even if I didn't need it. The low cost, especially for a senior dog, was astounding as well. When it finally came time to file a claim (for an Annual exam with blood work) the process was painless. I used the phone app to list all the services that the Vet had provided, how much I'd paid, used my camera to take a picture of the invoice, and sent it to Lemonade (who had walked me through each step). Within four hours Lemonade had deposited all of the money they owed me into my bank account with no arguing about what was covered and what wasn't. The whole process was painless and easy. Thank you, Lemonade!

Best Insurance for Dog care Ever

Fill out questionnaire, then email it in, takes a couple weeks and get a direct deposit for 100% after deductible is paid. Very helpful phone assistance, couldn't be happier. I had another dog for many years and in the end, was paying thousands of dollars for his care. I expect my insurance will help shoulder that load in the distance future. I recommend this company for your pet insurance.

Excellent Service

Was able to make same day appt with my vet for unwell doggy who had back pain and decreased mobility. The vet had my Trupanion info on file and. Submitted all claims etc directly to insurer. As this was my first time using my pet insurance I was a little concerned re: coverage, submissions, etc, plus worried about pet. Thought it was going to be a hassle. Turned out to be intervertrebal disc disease. After X-rays, bloodwork, etc. following treatment, pet vastly improved and on bed rest for next 2 Weeks. Trupanion paid then and there, that day their portion of the claim and I didn’t have to do a thing! So impressed with seamless and easy transaction. They kept me in constant communication. Very happy with both vet and Trupanion..

Was a Huge Disappointment

I initially got this policy for a new very expensive pup that I got not too long ago. I was offered a bare bones policy by the sellers but, bought a full policy. I took the pup to the vet on Friday and the claim was not touched until a week later. Nonetheless, I purchased two additional policies for my other two dogs and, was planning to buy a 4th for the new puppy coming next month. However, there were gremlins in the system that didn’t allow me to merge the policies. For over a week I was unable to access the original account until today so I could link the other two policies. I tried linking them but, was unable to because the system didn’t recognized my email address. I have been working with them for over a week to resolve these issues with the website and to link the policies. I called again today to find out what email they had but the policy information and email at their end was correct. The agent told me that she was able to link the policies but, when I tried to access my account the system couldn’t recognize even the original account asking me to provide again my policy number but to no avail. I was already fed up with the whole situation and with the fact that MetLife as big as they are their IT people couldn’t figure out the problem, didn’t get a call back with the status of the trouble ticket, it was a monumental mess. Regretfully, I just told the agent to cancel my policies. She sent the cancellation emails and MetLife lost over $3000 in coverage for my 3 dogs. This was frustrating and disappointing to say the least, I would not recommend this company to anyone. Their process is complicated and they take forever to adjudicate a simple claim.

Best care ever

On vacation when Auggie became sick and Del Rey Vet office got us into an appointment thankfully. After a gentle caring experience with Auggie getting IVs and staying there for the day he was much better. Trupanion was excellent in helping through the process and the vet office did the claim online and within minutes the claim was complete and payment given to the vet office when we picked up Auggie. Every experience with Trupanion is just S professional. I highly recommend them.
