$109,533.36. One year. One medical condition.
That is how much Trupanion has paid towards Buttons’ veterinary care in 2026 alone.
For almost seven years, we’ve paid her insurance premiums, rarely needing to make a claim. Then this year, everything changed.
Three stays in intensive care, countless investigations, specialist treatments and some of the most heartbreaking moments we’ve experienced with our girl.
Buttons has spent years supporting April as her medical alert and mobility assistance service dog. This year, it was our turn to look after her. ❤️
We’ve been Trupanion customers for over ten years, and we genuinely believe that without Buttons’ insurance, she wouldn’t still be here with us today.
We’ve shared a new blog about our journey, the reality of veterinary costs and why we believe every dog owner should have a plan for the unexpected.
This isn’t about telling everyone they need pet insurance. It’s about sharing our experience and what that decision has meant for us.

And to Trupanion, thank you for helping us give our girl the care she needed. 💜
