Easy and quick resolve

It was so nice that our vet's office was able to file the claim for us when the surgery was done on our dog.

Trupanion is always quick to help at any time of day. They are helpful with all steps in the process of submitting claims, and they always ask how our pups are doing. They seem to genuinely care about our animals! Bonus: the member portal is also easy to use!

Before You Sign Up...

Before you signing up for pet insurance with PetsPlusUs (or any pet insurance) it is important to be aware of what exclusions may exist, and more importantly how those exclusions are applied, both in present and into the future. In our particular case, we brought our dog to our vet because she was vomiting randomly and we could not figure out the cause. We took her in for a check up within a few days because it wasn't going away on its own. Upon examination our vet found Nothing Wrong with her and suggested we try her on a "digestive" food. In doing so, the vomiting stopped. In the meantime we received our policy from PPU after its underwriter review process was completed. What we found within the policy is an "exclusion" for any vomiting conditions...ANY vomiting conditions. In other words, though no underlying illness was found PPU was excluding from coverage ANY current or future conditions associated with vomiting. If you've never looked up conditions that may have vomiting as a symptom, it is extensive. This is important because the exclusion does not only apply to the current circumstances, again, for which no underlying disease was found but any and all future conditions which may have vomiting as a symptom. Essentially our coverage was effectively reduced to conditions which do not have vomiting associated or anything like the dog being hit by a car. After a few months our dog's vomiting returned to a lesser extent but it did return, so again we took her to the vet and requested virtually ever diagnostic test possible: blood tests, urine analysis, ultrasound, and more specific blood tests. PPU, to be clear, covered none of the testing though we continued to be enrolled with their insurance. The explanation given was that the testing was associated with the vomiting exclusion and therefore no coverage provided. The diagnostics performed found No disease condition and the vet once again suggested a change in diet. With that change, the vomiting stopped. With the issue seemingly resolved, and, more importantly, no underlying disease being identified, we Canceled our PPU policy due to the manner in which this was handled and the blanket exclusion being applied. Since most conditions affecting a dog may have vomiting associated, our policy became largely ineffectual, but the premium remained the same. PetsPlusUs is associated with Costco, and with their endorsement comes significant marketing exposure for PPU. We will be contacting Costco to review our personal experience and to gage Costco's understanding of the practices of PPU and their underwriter. My hope is only to try and give consumers an example of the tactics that can be used to limit their pet's coverage. To be fair, it could happen with other insurers too...the point in this case is that there was Nothing found thru extensive diagnostics to warrant an exclusion, most especially on an on-going basis. If they wanted to exclude the current circumstance because the policy was still being reviewed by the underwriter before Final implementation, that might be viewed as fair; however, to exclude all such instances, regardless of circumstance, into the future, when Nothing was found in terms of an underlying condition, does this seem like an acceptable business practice? Does it seem reasonable? Fair? Does it reflect a concern for the well-being of the animal? There are several pet insurers. Please take a good look at each and ask questions about when/how/if exclusions may apply and under what circumstances. Many times as consumers we are faced with choices and often we seek endorsements from family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, And by Reading reviews. The best outcomes stem from being informed. Please choose wisely.

Top tier in every way.

Insurance is one of those things that it's hard to feel good about - until you need it. That is where HealthyPaws absolutley delivers above and beyond. Our dog was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disease a couple years ago. We love the guy and he was getting the surgery regardless of coverage. I called Healthypaws to see if this procedure was covered and sure enough, it was. I called HP a couple weeks after to see what the hold up was in processing my claim only to find the vet didn't file it as they promised. This is where the real customer service magic happened. The girl I was talking to said not to worry, that she would call the vet and get all the forms, etc. By the end of the day I had confirmation that the claim was filed. a day later it was approved and 3 days later I had a check. Amazing! Since that time our poor guys has managed to tear his CCL in both knees - at separate times. In both case the claim was filed and paid within a week. What else could you possibly ask for? This company is serious about it's mission. And our boy is healthy and thriving in part because of it!

Trupanion - A Criminal Business Model

I've written less than 2 negative reviews in my life. Here is my second. Their entire business model is a scam. I learned the hard way that their deductible limit is PER INCIDENT, and is not annual (like every other health insurance company out there for humans and pets). Honestly I don't even know how this is legal. They tout that they will cover a new condition for life once you meet your deductible for that specific incident/condition, but think about it... How many of you when your dogs are young or aged 1-5 will develop a chronic condition?? How easy will it be for them to dodge coverage claiming your vet visits are all unique incidents? And for those with older pets, remember, these pet insurance companies won’t cover pre-existing conditions! What a perfect business model for profits! My experience with them has been horrendous as I'm paying an absurd monthly premium for a high deductible plan. Whereas, with literally every other pet insurance company I've been quoted for rates less than my current monthly premium, a much lower ANNUAL deductible that IS NOT PER INCIDENT, and 90% coverage. To get the same with Trupanion would have my monthly premium near the 3-digit range FOR A PUPPY. Good grief. My puppy has gotten himself into trouble over the last year+ as he is very energetic, playful, and curious and I'm out thousands due to the handful of vet visits I've needed. And guess what, Trupanion hasn't covered anything. Why? Because none of the unique vet visits have exceeded my deductible. It literally resets every time. If you think about it..... You can visit the vet over a dozen times for various reasons and Trupanion doesn't have to cover anything if you don't meet your deductible for that specific incident/condition. They just sit back and collect the dough. Steer well clear of this company and their slimy business model. It is structured this way to ensure and maximize profits at the expense of actually doing what they exist to do.
