Trupanion and DogVacay Join Forces

School is back in session and everyone is back to work and the usual fall activities. But, it won’t be long before the holidays come around and pet parents will be looking for a quick getaway or a family vacation. However, as usual, the question remains: what do you do with your best furry friends?

As pet parents ourselves, we know how difficult it is to leave pets behind when going on those expensive or even budget friendly trips. Sometimes, the worry of leaving your beloved pets might even damper the excitement of the trip.

That’s why pet sitters are so important. Many pet parents have had bad experiences with kennels and other boarding facilities, but there’s been a great new development that is sure to put pets and their parents at ease.

Trupanion, a pet insurance company, has joined forces with DogVacay, a pet sitting service, to ensure your pets get the best possible care while you’re away.

Trupanion offers up to 90% coverage with no payout limits. They work with veterinarians, breeders, and shelters around the country to help ensure the health and wellness of pets.

DogVacay is a pet sitting service that puts pet sitters through an extensive vetting process, as well as, offers pet parents honest reviews from other pet parents about their experience with the pet sitter of their choice. Pet parents can scroll through hundreds of possible pet sitters, until they find someone they like and trust to leave their pet with. They offer secure online payment, one on one attention, effortless communication and more.

So, what does this union mean?

It means that pet parents will have peace of mind knowing that their pet is insured through one of the most reputable pet health insurance providers while being watched by a pet sitter of their choosing. It’s hard enough leaving a beloved dog or cat at home, but knowing that they are in good hands, hopefully makes it a little easier.

Trupanion prides itself on offering great service and covers all unexpected veterinary bills. Of course, this excludes regular checkups and pre-existing conditions, however, that is the same across the board for all pet insurance plans.

As a standout feature, Trupanion recently introduced the direct payment to vet feature. This lets pet parents focus on getting their pets better, while Trupanion pays their portion of the bill directly. So, if you have a $10,000 vet bill, with 90% coverage, Trupanion will pay $9,000 straight to the vet, so you only have to pay $1,000 out of pocket.

This new feature is revolutionizing the way pet insurance providers are working with veterinarians and pet parents.

Both pet insurance and pet sitters are an important consideration for all pet parents. Trusting someone with the health and wellness of your beloved fur baby can be hard, but knowing that your pet is protected and cared for by the best, handpicked by you, people and services, will give both you and your pet comfort and peace of mind.

So, go ahead and book that trip! Your pet will be in good hands with Trupanion and DogVacay.
