Great so far
We were given Lulu in November 2012 by neighbors who no longer could keep her. We shopped around for insurance plans and decided to go with ASPCA (as we are also Guardian Members) because the had the best coverage plans. We signed Lulu up in February 2013. We had her spayed and paid for that ourselves, our vet offers a "vaccines for life" program, $60 one time fee and all vaccines are covered. Needless to say, we will only have claims for anything major (injury, etc).
My only complaint is that the flea / heartworm preventative coverage is very low, $60/year. It's roughly $120/yr for each. I feel the reimbursement amount should be increased.
The turnaround time for reimbursement has been excellent.

Worth Having! Got my $$$ worth!
We adopted a rescue 5 yr old weimaraner in November. Almost 3 months after we had him, he got some bumps under his skin. Our vet suggested a biopsy and they turned out to be cancerous cells! The poor thing had to have surgery. It was about $1400 which insurance paid $800 (after $100 deductable). I was relieved I had insurance. It has also been a life savor for our cat (who recently passed). X-rays typically run $300 so to have insurance pay 80% is really worth it! I always tell people my animals have better insurance than me! $100 deductable with 80% reimbursement is a great insurance plan! I wish blue cross blue shield provided the same coverage!

Helpful, fast, convenient
Our chocolate lab puppy has been going through a revolving door at the vet with various issues. We never could have known he would have stomach sensitivities but after a few hospitalizations, we were relieved to know Trupanion was helping us cover his bills. The customer service t Trupanion is unparalleled, they are always so helpful and truly care for the well being of our puppy. Our reimbursements have arrived very promptly and without any issue. We are so relieved and thankful to know we are covered by Trupanion.

The best Pet Insurance
In 2012, I purchased only a basic pet insurance from Trupanion for my dog, Puffy, because of his vet recommendation since he was going to be 8 years old at that time. He was so healthy with lots of energy so I did not expect anything to happen to him. In the beginning, I thought I was just wasting my money but several months later Puffy could not walk because he had dislocated disc and needed back surgery right away. Without Trupanion, I won't be able to afford the cost of his surgery which came over $9,000, and he won't be able to walk again. Trupanion saved his life. Now, he is able to stand and tries to walk on his own but still needs wheelchair and theraphy sometimes. Last month, he tried to chase our other dog and jumped from sofa. I had to take him back to his hospital the next day for check up after he did not want to walk even on his wheelchair or urinate. The hospital bill came out over $1,000 and I was really concern that Trupanion would not pay for this bill because it already paid for his surgery a year ago. But I was wrong, within a week I got my reimbursement and I was able to pay back my credit card. Trupanion not only provides the best pet insurance, but the staff also keeps contact to check how Puffy is doing. As a pet owner, I really appreciate their service and concern. So, I decided to upgrade his insurance to cover more illness. Now, I am no longer worried how I can give my Puffy the best care if he will ever get sick again. I trust Trupanion and would hi

Great coverage & customer service
I've had very positive experiences with Embrace. I realized the need for pet insurance about 5 years ago when my dog started getting nose bleeds and the vet recommended a $1900 MRI to diagnose what turned out to be a nasal tumor. Never again did I want to make a life-or-death decision concerning my 4-legged babies based on how much money I had in my savings account. I knew the cost of the insurance premium would eventually pay for itself, and it did when my dog tore her ACL and needed major surgery. The pre-certification confirmed Embrace's claim... "everything is covered" except the RX (and that was by choice). I can't imagine having a dog in my family without pet insurance now... it's a real anxiety reducer!

Excellent communication and service!
Unfortunately, we've had several trips to the vet with our new Boston Terrier. Embrace has done an excellent job of keeping us updated on claim statuses and providing us with thorough explanations of their decisions. I've called their office with questions before and staff members are not only professional but very friendly. I would recommend Embrace to any pet owner!!

New puppy wellness check
I have not had pet insurance for many years. Boy has it changed. I was pleasantly surprised. Embrace does things very quickly. I signed up and right away was reimbursed for her first visit. I was able to pick my coverage. The people are very friendly and right on top of things. I would and have told my friends about this.

LIFESAVER
After losing my German Shepherd to cancer six years ago, I became concerned about not being able to afford treatment for my dogs now should something happen. Pets Best was recommended to me by a friend who has used them successfully for many years. I was hoping not to have to use it, but this year I found out firsthand how LUCKY I am to have chosen an insurance policy that covers what I need it to, unlike competing insurances. I have filed several claims this year due to an undiagnosed liver issue and have been reimbursed 80% (minus my $50 deductible) with NO hassle, VERY prompt service, SUPER compassionate and professional customer service, and EXCEPTIONAL timely processing. I am 110% impressed with Pets Best and thank the stars that I made the decision to insure my furry children. It feels SO good to know I have Pets Best backing me and my dogs, and I know I will be able to afford anything they should need in the event of an accident or illness.
