"Pet Insurance Believer" I was not a "Pet Insurance Believer" until I experienced Trupanion. My puppy was enrolled by our breeder and I decided to keep the policy active when we brought him home. Unfortunately my dog starting experiencing allergy issues and ear infections on a regular basis when he was a few years old. My husband and I were shocked how easy Trupanion made it to submit and receive payouts on claims when applicable. We love our dog and will certainly pay as much as we can to make sure he is healthy but there is such a relief knowing that Trupanion is there along with us. The submission of claims is extremely easy and efficient as I can easily submit them on my cell phone. I've also chatted both online and live with representatives regarding questions and they were able to assist and respond immediately. I am now a "Pet Insurance Believer" thanks to the positive experience of Trupanion. I've mentioned these comments to many of my pet owner friends so they too can share this experience with their pets.

Despite having a healthy dog with no… Despite having a healthy dog with no preexisting health issues my policy went up from $35 a month to over $80 a month in the span of three years. There was no explanation given to me about the cost increase except that I live in a major city (nothing to do with my dog in particular). Company clearly states that it will not increase premiums based on pets birthday and yet that’s exactly what they did. I felt very manipulated and canceled the policy.

Pointless waste of money Pointless waste of money. We are trying to figure out what is wrong with my dog. They blame everything on "pre existing condition" from when she was literally a puppy and we were having issues potty training her. There is ONE note in her vet file about this. So now any tests, and ER visits when she reacted badly to antibiotics, are referred to as pr existing conditions. My other dog had a minor bill and that also was still out of pocket as part of a deductible. I did the math and it is simply smarter for me to put $120 in savings every month instead of trupanion. I will never, EVER trust them. I need to get that same dog allergy tests, and I'm confident they will twist that into "pre existing conditions" because I didn't enroll her until she was 1. What a scam.

Great people, very fair premiums, easy sign-up process A friend had recommended Trupanion for our 2-year-old Australian shepherd. Signing up was a truly positive experience. Our sales specialist, J Holaka, made it all much easier than I had anticipated. He gave me clear and concise explanations for all my questions. He was friendly and not at all overbearing. I came away with a truly positive impression of the company and look forward to dealing with the folks there for many years to come.

Stick with it - it pays Signed up for insurance for my now 8 year old German Shepherd when he was nine weeks old. For years he was really healthy but we kept the policy in place. Over the last year he's had some real issues with a difficult to diagnose series of infections. Throughout the process Trupanion paid exactly what they'd committed to pay, with speed I did not expect. He's fine now but needs monthly injections to keep him clear. They continue to cover these - I'm thrilled.
