Can I Afford Pet Insurance?
My experience with Trupanion has been excellent. I didn't give a 10 because I think it's important for each individual to consider the monthly premium amount for the life of their pet, which could unfortunately be very short, or over 20 years. We hope, but can't know how long they will live. Wil it be a healthy life, or a life plagued with chronic ailments, injuries, or other challenges. To date, I have roughly paid out $7,500 in insurance premiums for my 10 yr. old dog. He has had trouble with ear infections and seasonal allergies over those years, but nothing serious. I have submitted claims, receiving around $2570 to date. Obviously, I have put out much more $$$ for insurance coverage than I have received in approved claims. If my boy had had any serious illnesses and/or injuries, surgeries, or does in the future, it would be a definite relief to have coverage.
I think it is each individual's decision to decide what's right for them. Do you put out $$$ each month for what might happen, or do you wait and see what may or may not happen? Do you have that extra $65/month to put toward insurance coverage? Are you willing to make the hard decision to pay out thousands for an unexpected emergency or possibly put down your pet, because you can't afford the needed treatment? Each pet owner has to make their own decision. Many people simply cannot afford insurance for their pets. So I might recommend Trupanion to someone, but if it comes down to cost, that's up to them.

Ear infection
Gunner got an ear infection in May and in August got a sore by privates and feet bothered him and end of August another ear infection. Then he was diagnosed w allergies by vet August 24th, 2022. They told me he had allergies from May w/o vet diagnosis. Isn't that convient to blame everything on his 1st ear infection as allergies before a vets diagnosis. Wish I never would have believed the rating and their sweet talk to join their company. Now I'm stuck and can't go anywhere else. Bad company politics.

Trupanion has our back
I tell everyone I talk to that has pets in the home about Trupanion and how great they have been in quickly paying all vet claims related to my dogâs hip dysplasia including supplements and hydro therapy. My dog would be suffering without the dependable coverage Trupanion delivers.
Thank you Trupanion
