They used to be good, now they just rob you
I agree with other reviewers - Trupanion used to be great. Now they are ZERO STARS. I had them with my second furbbaby and never had a problem. I got them again with my third kid.
I just realized that AFTER THE FIRST MONTH, Trupanion raised my premium (automatic deduction) $25 WITHOUT NOTICE AND MY CONSENT. I only realized this when they sent me a notification they would be raising my premium AGAIN THIS YEAR. I thought they were raising it $30, but it's actually $10 because THEY ALREADY RAISED IT $25 WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!!!
They want me to pay $85/month. FOR A TWO YEAR OLD DOG. FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN GREED. We have NEVER FILED A CLAIM BEFORE.
These people admit there is a PHONE RECORDING of our price conversation BUT REFUSE TO LET ME HEAR IT. I am considering suing them.
By the way, this all started because of DR SMITH who wrote something in his medical report when he was 5 MONTHS OLD. He TWO AND WE'VE HAD NO ISSUES. DONT USE TRUPANION AND CATS AND DOGS IN LONG BEACH.
PLEASE READ ALL BBB COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS COMPANY. Please be sure to call your bank to BLOCK payments if and when you cancel because THEY DELAY CANCELLATION AND COLLECT YOUR MONEY.

Ridiculous Claim Process - Customer Service a JOKE
I submitted a claim on my female dog who had a one-off urinary tract infection. She had one 5 years ago (literally 5 years ago). Nothing since. She received anti-biotics and healthy as ever. She randomly got another infection 5 years later. These jerks DENIED my claim for treatment reimbursement claiming this was a pre-existing condition because she had an infection FIVE YEARS AGO! INSANITY! Its like me getting the flu this year, but my medical insurance denies my doctor visit reimbursement because I had the flu 5 years ago. This is scum bag stuff. On top of this, the customer service robots are unhelpful and read from scripts. Its like talking to an uneducated 10 year old. There is also NO WAY to reach ANY of the folks who "review your claims." So trying to talk or get an understanding from anyone, is completely impossible. RUN - STAY AWAY! If your dog stubs their toe 5 years ago, then stubs it again this year, they will claim that the stubbed toe is a pre-existing condition and not help pay for treatment! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!

Happy with FIGO
I've been with FIGO for alsmost 9 years now, 8 German Shepherds. They've been a great company to do business with. Claim's are processed quickly. Price is fair even with the increases that they all do every year. Will never go without pet insurance.

Smartest thing I did
I bought pet insurance when my Boxer was 8 weeks old. Smartest thing I ever did and I tell everyone. A lot of people will say "well I'll just save for vet bills". ONE incident can cost thousands of dollars. Just make sure you understand your coverage. I chose Nationwide on my vet's recommendation. The yearly deductible is only $99 and after that I get reimbursed 90% of the claim. It's deposited right into my checking account. Her wellness visits are covered 100%. I wouldn't be without.

Always There Immediately!
Trupanion has become our lifesaver, a reliable best buddy, you name it. My dog Jack has recently had a slew of consecutive health issues that began with seizures late one night. Hospital after hospital, appointments, tests, medications and Trupanion has been there for us through ALL of it. Trupanion approves the claim then pays the hospital directly for their portion, without hesitation. No paperwork for you and no waiting for reimbursement.
Don't be fooled thinking you can't afford pet insurance. As a fixed income, retiree, Trupanion's flexibility allows me to choose the cost of the deductible by what I can afford for a monthly premium. There is a plan for every budget.

Healthy Paws extraordinary overall experience
I searched a lot on pet insurance companies and I’m super happy to have found Healthy Paws. Their app is super easy to use, and you can tell they like to know who their customers are when they ask for a picture of them upfront. They keep you informed all the way, so you’re never wondering if they even got the documents, and I was so impressed on how fast they completed the process and surprised me even more when they wanted to know how my baby was doing after her surgery… Omg! That nice gesture was the cherry on the pie on how the whole experience has been. I highly recommend Healthy Paws as your insurance partner to support you all the way when you need it most. They truly care about you and your pups. Thank you Healthy Paws for such an extraordinary experience!
