Support Through Two Surgeries
“Having two torn ligaments within one year, it was great to have Trupanion on our side. They covered Champ’s surgeries, food, and medication needed during the recovery period, which cost over $5,000.00.
Not only did they provide coverage, they also provided comfort and care over the phone each and every time I called. Trupanion was fast and efficient, even when dealing with an issue at our local surgeon’s office. They made it their mission to ensure Champ would be covered before I left for surgery that day! I can honestly say Trupanion made our situation much less stressful.”

Kathryn works at Trupanion alongside her little sidekick, a rescued Papillion mix named Modie. She loves all animals big and small but is a dog enthusiast at heart. By the third grade, she had memorized every dog breed and their characteristics and dreamed of being an agility dog trainer or the next Steve Irwin. When not at Trupanion, Kathryn spends her time playing soccer, baking cookies, and exploring the Pacific Northwest with her little sidekick.
We’d like to know if both torn ligaments were the same and also if both were covered. Do they disallow two of the same injuries in the same year? Was this two different torn ligaments in one year?
Thanks.
Two torn ligaments – that sounds rough! Lucky for you that you had insurance to cover the surgeries, $5000 is sure a lot of money!! My beagle tore her ACL and I didn’t have to insurance to cover it but the surgery was worth every penny since it meant getting my old, active dog back to her healthy and happy life. She’s 6 now so I’m at the point where I’m considering getting pet insurance because you really never know what can happen to them, and there’s nothing more important than health. When my dog tore her ACL, the recovery process was probably the most difficult part of it all. I bought her an Ortocanis dog knee brace to help with the inflammation and give the area some added extra support as it healed. It was honestly one of the best decisions I made during the whole process. This is where I found it – http://www.ortocanis.com/en/technical-helps-for-dogs/90-knee-brace.html
