Best decision I ever made
When Mr. Utley - my Golden was a puppy I debated whether or not to get insurance. After doing a great deal of research, comparing the different companies that offered insurance, I decided to go with Embrace - based on all of the favorable reviews I had read about them.
Over the last five years, I've been lucky enough to never have really needed the insurance - only had a couple of sore pad issues. I used to kid that my dog has better health insurance than me and people told me I was crazy to spend the money. But I knew that there was no price tag you can put on piece of mind - knowing that, if God forbid something bad happened to my guy, I would never have to decide on the future of my dog's health based on a cost analysis.
Mr. Utley was just diagnosed with cancer and as difficult as it was to hear the diagnosis, the one thing I didn't have to think about was how could I afford to help him. When sitting with the oncologist discussing his treatment options, it was reassuring to know that I could afford to give him the best care available because I have GREAT insurance. We have just started his treatments and Embrace has made dealing with this illness as bearable as possible. I don't have to worry about the financial aspect and can just focus on making my guy better.
Every time I meet someone who just bought a puppy I urge them to get Embrace Insurance. Like I said in my title, it was the best decision I ever made.

Great choice of Insurance-wish it had more coverag
I have had ASPCA for 4 yrs now and though I have had few incidents, I really wish it covered more because on those few incidents I had - ASPCA didn't cover as much as I would have needed.
Beyond all that, ASPCA is very easy to use, file claims, and has great customer service. It's reasonably priced. The customer service is really good and everyone is knowledgable and pleasant on the phone.

Should have followed my own advice sooner!
As a veterinary professional, I have told pet owners for years to get insurance for their animals. I always said that it helps take the financial aspect out of deciding treatment plans for their members of the family.
Finally, I followed my own advice! I'm so glad I did. Trupanion honestly saved my dog and my family from potentially not being able to treat because of finances. Working in the field, I've adopted pets that had some issues, but none unmanageable. Luna has had allergies, and some skin issues. She is almost 6 and one morning she didn't want to eat breakfast. She always eats breakfast. I looked at her and thought she was a little pale so I took her with me to work. Turns out, she was very anemic, and her body was attacking both her red blood cells and platelets! Needless to say, this was a major life threatening medical emergency. Knowing that she had insurance made the decision to treat possible. She needed 2 blood transfusions, hospitalization, multiple meds, and constant monitoring. Everyone I talked to at Trupanion made the process easy, and let me focus on my baby.
Once my claim was submitted, I was reimbursed within a week! Now I know that I can provide the best care possible without draining my finances.
Luna's happy and still healing and I recommend Trupanion to everyone I know! Thank you for giving me and my family peace of mind! Wish I had done it years sooner!

I Wish My Own Health Care Insurance Was This Good
Trupanion has made the process of submitting claims painless. In just a matter of a few days I have received notice that my claim has been accepted, approved and processed and payment is on the way. It gives me much peace of mind to know that my pet's health care needs will be taken care of and that I do not have to consider the financial feasibility of treatment. I have called customer service to get questions answered and everyone there is very friendly. They even asked me about how my pet was doing after treatment. They seem to truly care about my pet' well being.

Thankful to have it
My pup has been to the vet far more than any other dog I've had. He consumes everything he can, whole, without chewing. I got Trupanion and am thankful. The last trip to the vet cost $4500 and they covered over $3600 of it. I recommend them for anyone with a young dog.
