Any pet insurance recommendations?

I have a new puppy named Millie (almost 6 mos) that is a mixed breed (looks mostly like a black lab) and was considering signing up for pet insurance--after my expensive experiences with my buddy Hudson's cancer care.

Prices seem to range from $40-60/month and I'd love to hear actual experiences with different companies if anyone can share.

Thanks!

What about asking your vet? They should at least know who pays. TreasonousBastard Mar 2021 #4

The ones I've been considering are Truepanion, Healthy Paws, and Pumpkin (based on a site that lists different companies and their ratings---but those are so advertisement-heavy that I was worried about the trustworthiness of it all).

For my new puppy. Not totally committed to them yet, though. And I don't trust anyone--the vet could get a kickback from someone. I trust random DUers instead
