You saved my baby!!!
When I started looking for a new pet insurance company, my dog, Sampson, was 9 years old. I spent a LOT of time searching for insurance that would cover an older dog for more than just accident insurance, and was happy to come across Pets Best for my peace of mind. Little did I know at the time that in just a few months, I would be needing that peace of mind desperately, because Sampson suddenly got hit by several serious ailments all at the same time: he had a seriously enlarged prostate and needed surgery, came down with Valley Fever, and also was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. I was beside myself with anxiety and worry for my baby, but the one thing I didn't have to worry about was being able to get him the medical care he needed. Without Pets Best, I couldn't have afforded the treatments he had to get or the medications he has to take. Of course, he has also had the usual garden variety things that needed treatment, too, like ear infections and a tummy bug. All of those things added up and Pets Best has been so great about taking care of all my claims. They process them right away, deposit the money directly into my account, and cover a whole lot more than other insurances do at far lower rates. For someone like myself, who is disabled and living on a very limited income, Pets Best has been a lifesaver, not only for my wallet, but also very literally for Sampson. I am thrilled to say that he is doing great and had his 11th birthday in February!!! I can hones

Trupanion is great
We have a three year old lab, Gunner. We signed on with Trupanion as soon as we got him. Trupanion processed numerous claims for us, the most recent being for TPLO surgery - a spendy one. Trupanion is always easy to reach with questions and is prompt with processing (provided the vet gets them the necessary paperwork). This particular claim took much longer than usual to process as a result of paperwork issues on the vet's end. I highly recommend them.

Straightforward AND quick
I researched and read reviews for many many canine insurance plans. I didn't want money to dictate any decisions I might need to make should the unforeseen happen. They, unlike many companies, also included alternative therapies like acupuncture, which I thought would come in handy during later years with managing arthritis and such. I was planning for his future, and never dreamed I would use it end up needing it just 2 years in. My little man is now four and a half years old (Lab) and ended up having a High Velocity Disc Herniation, most likely from Intervertebral Disc Disease, just two weeks ago now.
It was a scary time, especially in the beginning when no one really knew what was going on. X-Rays weren't showing anything much useful, and an MRI was recommended as the most likely method to help accurately diagnose. With all the pressure on a dog's spinal chord these herniations cause, a quick analysis must be made to avoid permanent damage. Many times surgery is needed, and the chances of a near full recovery are exponentially greater when the surgery is done within 36 hours.
Fortunately, I didn't have to weigh my finances against giving my best friend his greatest chance at being a happy normal dog for years to come. Perhaps more fortunately, surgery was not needed, but without the MRIs we would not have known. It's two weeks later, and he's still being boarded at an animal in-patient rehab facility, but he is making remarkable progress.

Pet insurance is a good idea
We haven't had a dog for at least 20 years. Last August our yellow lab'Annie' was given to us by Guide Dogs. She didn't make the cut as a guide dog. We had no idea how expensive visits to the vet can be. After the
first $1000 vet bill we got ASPCA insurance. Then we found a lump on
Annie's back which turned out to be harmless, but the bill for removing
the lump was over $800. We filed a claim and ASPCA sent us a check for
$438. I have no complaints about ASPCA. They were prompt and
courteous and friendly on the phone.

40% rate increase
I subscribed to Trupanion a year ago and after the first claim that was approved, all of a sudden I received a notice that my rate is being increased 40%. Their website specifically states that they do not penalize their clients as a result of claims but that this is an increase due to increase in pet care costs for my area. I checked with 3 local vets and they all stated that if they have increased their rates, it has never been more than 3%.
