TPLO for my Dog
My English Labrador Retriever needed to have TPLO surgery since he partially tore his ACL. My normal vet referred me to a specialty veterinary hospital for the TPLO surgery. The Specialty hospital Dr provided me with his written prognosis and that my dog needed TPLO surgery. I submitted the Drs notes along with my invoices I paid and within 2 weeks VPI paid all but $134.00 of a $3000.00 procedure. I also took my dog to rehab at the specialty hospital once a week that cost $60 per visit and VPI reimbursed me for the rehab as well. I have had VPI since I got Brody when he was 7 weeks old and they have always been great with payments and explanations.

Great decision
Deciding to insure my new puppy after our last dog died of cancer was a no brainer. Deciding on which company to choose was a little harder. I chose trupanion because I liked the one time deductible per disease/disorder. I like how they cover most conditions and have less exclusions than other companies. Unfortunately I was not planning on needing coverage until my dog was older- but now as a 2 year old he has injured his cruciate ligament ( ACL) - trupanion has been great, covered everything and pre approved the surgery. Saved my marriage and my dog!!!!!!

Very disappointing to see my rates triple
I signed up for Pets Best when my vizsla was a puppy and was happy with the rate of $400/year with a $75 deductible. A year later I did need to use it and I was pleased with the prompt response when I did file a claim. But beware of the disclosure inI the policy that tells you that the premium rate is not guaranteed as your pet gets older. I have seen my premium triple. This year it went to $1200, with a $500 deductible. They said that it has nothing to do with claims made but my dog is 9 years old and had a knee replacement last year. Even with insurance I paid a lot out of pocket. I am canceling my policy rather than paying this huge increase.. When my dog is getting older and I had expected to have insurance for a serious illness, I can't afford it and may not be able to care for my dog when she really needs it.

Very grateful
We adopted a mixed breed 4-7 month old puppy who developed a limp as she grew older and bigger. We tried various treatments and eventually found out that she had a problem that could only be fixed surgically. We were coming off unsuccessfully trying to save the life of our last dog and were a little worried about the cost. Thankfully, Heathy Paws paid the 80% we contracted within a week of the surgery. Having pet insurance was the best decision we have made and our puppy is on the road to being heathy and pain - free!
