Trupanion - Is there not an app for Trupanion?
Just switched from Embrace Pawprotect to Trupanion... Can't seem to find an app for it in the google play store. What kind of insurance company doesn't have a mobile app in the year 2025? 😭
Trupanion - 7-year old dog, NYC - stay on Trupanion or switch to AKC with hereditary plus?
My dog has been with Trupanion for 5 years. She was healthy as a horse when we switched her, so I thought we were in the clear for no pre-existing conditions. Obviously, naive. Anyways, they are rejecting all tooth extraction claims because a vet wrote "mild tartar" one time in her records 5 years ago. The vet never said anything to us about her teeth until this year, when they told us she needed extractions due to bone loss in her jaw. The vet says it should be covered, but they rejected the claim and I am not holding out hope for the appeal.
I am considering switching her to AKC. They won't cover her teeth either - but I can get a high-deductible plan with hereditary plus coverage for $70 per month. It would cover pre-existing conditions after 365 days, according to the person I spoke with. So I could save over $30 per month, that could go towards her inevitable future extractions.
My thinking is that I now understand that the insurance companies can turn anything into a pre-existing condition post-hoc. I don't trust Trupanion to not do that again. At least with AKC, they cover pre-existing conditions so if she ever got cancer on her ear, for example, it wouldn't be excluded just because she had an ear infection in 2020. Is this thinking sound? Has anyone switched to AKC and could give some advice?
