Trupanion Protects Tigger the Cat

  
 
Pet Name: Tigger
Last summer, shortly after we moved into our new home, my best bud Tigger escaped. I didn't see him for nearly 3 months. I searched and searched for him until I found him again. He was still in the neighborhood! I was estatic to have him back in my life. He has meant so much to me.

My experience got me thinking about what I would do if he became sick or injured and the bill be beyond our means. We could possibly pay by credit card, but how would we ever pay off the debt? Being such a special friend and going through so many things together, I know I would do anything to save my sweet baby from an early demise.

That's where Trupanion came in. I spent weeks looking for a pet insurance--one people trusted and one with the coverage I needed. After a ton of research and consideration, I selected Trupanion for my loyal companion.

Trupanion has been Stanley's true life saver, Stanley is only 2 year's old and has been diagnosed with severe constipation, he is still young and has a long life ahead of him, and the bills for his testing and medications have been adding up fast. In these hard times I am so thankful for Trupanion, being there to help with the bills. I have received their cheque's in a quite timely manner and all their reps have been friendly and helpful. I have tried other animal insurance companies in the past, but Trupanion is the only one I would recommend or choose from this day on! Stanley and I both Thank you!

Pet Insurance Success Story from Samantha

  
 
Pet Name: Samantha
Treated For: Foreign body ingestion
Claim Amount: $2964.23
Time to Process Claim: Within two weeks
In December 2007 Samantha decided to eat some Christmas ribbon which had been wrapped around a present under the tree. On December 27th she began vomiting everything she ate (probably in the last few days), including the water that I had forced down her. This is a cat who has never even really had “fur balls” so I knew something was wrong and rushed her to the emergency vet clinic. They did a bunch of tests and decided that surgery was needed. Samantha ended up spending 4 days at the emergency vet clinic and had a lot of ribbon removed from her system – her surgery incision was from below her rib cage and went to between her hind legs.

Not once in these 4 days did I worry about how I was going to pay for this. The peace of mind alone is worth getting Trupanion.

Even though I don’t think Samantha has learned her lesson, I certainly did and no presents go under the tree that have even a tiny bit of ribbon on them.

How Pet Insurance Helped Babar the Cat

  
 
Pet Name: Babar
Treated For: Chronic eye discharge, Teeth extractions
Claim Amount: $863.35
Time to Process Claim: Within 24 hours
My husband and I recently adopted Babar from a shelter. He was certified in perfect health so no worries. However, my sister-in-law had recently suffered a huge vet bill for her brand new Jack Russell and she strongly recommended Trupanion. Babar was signed up for Trupanion right away. Some months went by and we found that he was very frightened of everything, hid in the shadows, never made any noise (unless it was treat time!) and was generally uncomfortable with us. The breeder had told us that he was very shy. When he started to have some trouble with runny eyes we took him to our family vet. After making eye treatment suggestions Dr. Littlejohn took one look in Babar's mouth and even I could see the painful gums and rotting teeth.
Babar has since successfully undergone surgery which in total cost over 900$ ! We could ill afford that kind of money and hoped that the insurance would really work and give back some of it.
We received a cheque right away for 80% of the covered procedures (and most were covered surprisingly) within a few weeks! Even better, our no longer shy Babar has regained his youth. He rolls on his back on the carpet, frolics joyfully and meows heartily. His favourite activity is crawling into the nooks of your bedding while it is still warm and you have just vacated the space. Babar is often almost "made" into the bed! We have recommended Trupanion to our friends and family and have now insured our 1 year old kitten as well because you never know when illness will strike, even with indoor cats in seemingly perfect health. I would hate to have to decide the fate of my beloved companions because of money worries!
