Pet Insurance is saving my dog from a painful life
My previous dog had cancer. I didn’t have insurance and had heard that it wasn’t worth the money. I spent all of my savings on chemo for him. When I got my new dog I was afraid she would get cancer one day and I would not be in a financial position to pay for it. I never wanted to be in a position of putting my pet to sleep because I didn’t have the money for health care. My vet recommended Trupanion and I chose a 1000 dollar deductible to keep my premiums down. I thought that I would be able to cover vet costs unless she was hit by a car or ended up with cancer when she was older. My new puppy seemed happy and healthy until she was 5 months old and I noticed she limped after a busy day. She also started to have a problem with yeast in her ears. Now my dog is 20 months old. Her ear problem has continued and I have now spent more on her vet care for her ears than my deductible. While it is nice that costs associated with her ear infections is covered now, I could come up with the money to pay for it. Her problem with limping, however is a different story. My beloved dog Calabaza has elbow dysplasia in both front legs. Without Trupanion I would not have been able to pay for the CT scan that was required to confirm the diagnosis and plan the course of treatment let alone pay for the treatment. Without treatment my beautiful golden retriever would suffer from arthritis as her elbow joints disintegrated. As a pet owner who considers her dog a member of the family it would have been devastating to have to decide between helping my pet or financial ruin. Luckily, I don’t have to make that decision, thanks to the Trupanion policy I purchased. I am so grateful to have Trupanion. Within minutes of the specialist vet telling me Cala needed a CT scan I received an email telling me what Trupanion would cover and how much my portion would be. My dog is having surgery in a few days and I can spend my time deciding how I will manage her aftercare instead of trying to find a way to covèr the cost. Thank You Trupanion!!!

Healthy Paws made my life just a little easier during a very difficult time
Yes, Healthy Paws made my life just a little easier during a very difficult time. My beloved "Lambeau" had been dealing with cancer - and fighting like a little champ - for several years. I'm SURE Healthy Paws "lost money" on our account, as Lambeau's bills (medications/surgeries) had to be over $50,000. I ended up paying only about 20% of that amount, and the premiums while high, never compared to what Healthy Paws covered. When Lambeau passed, the team at Healthy Paws was sweet, comforting, and made sure to close my account, so I wasn't billed for an additional month - while continuing to send reimbursements for her final vet bills. I'd highly recommend Healthy Paws for these reasons.

Big Mistake!
I have had nothing but problems with this company. Prices go up every year. It has gone up 4x the amount and I have a healthy 4 year old dog. Finally decided to cancel and I feel SO relieved. This is after finding an unauthorized charge on my credit card. Fetch claims this was a seperate tax charge. Never in my life has any company charged seperately for taxes so I beleive this is a lie. My main issues are lack of responsiveness and slow communication. I've spent hours waiting for responses from agents that don't seem to know what's going on.

Happy Client
Pro: 1. A human answers the phone. You do not have to wade through numerous phone prompts. And not a call center from overseas. 2. They’re efficient and process the claims in a timely manner. 3. They check in every so often to tell you the status of your claims and are kind when you call about it. 4. They are straightforward in what the cover. 5. From social media, they appear to treat their employees well. Con: 1. My deductible rose dramatically. I think we started at a couple hundred and are now at a $1,000 (already met). Worth it when you own a cavalier. And likely standard in the insurance industry? I don’t know. I highly recommend Trupanion.

Save your money
This company is a total rip off. They paid less than 15% of my vet bill for a sick visit. Save your money. Cheaper to pay your vet bill out of pocket.

Better no insurance than to go with PETS PLUS US
Sounds great, but when you really need them, they find some exclusionary clause, and then you're left with the vet bills anyways; plus the frustration and disappointment of your having gotten involved with PPU in the first place!. If you really want or need pet insurance, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. And if you're a Costco member, done't be fooled into thinking you're getting a good deal through Costco, in fact you can usually find better pricing through other channels. Surprised Costco associates its brand with this provider.
