Want even more protection with alternative therapy coverage in your pet insurance policy? You can add two optional endorsements to your core Trupanion policy.
Consultation and Examinations Endorsement
The Consultations and Examinations Endorsement is an optional benefit you can add to your Trupanion Insurance Policy. If you have the Consultations and Examinations Endorsement, we provide cover for general practice, referral and emergency consultations relating to the assessment, diagnosis and/or treatment of illnesses and/or injuries covered by your policy.
Recovery and Complementary Care Endorsement
The Trupanion policy is there for unexpected health issues that come up during your pet’s lifetime.
In addition to the core Trupanion policy, your pet can have even more protection with our optional Recovery and Complementary Care endorsement. This provides cover for alternative therapy and treatments that go above and beyond normal veterinary medicine to help continue healing after your veterinarian’s first course of treatment ends. For example:
- After an accident, physical therapy or hydrotherapy can help get your pet back on their paws after any surgeries or treatment.
- If your pet is eating something they shouldn’t, alternative treatments and behavioural therapy can help correct issues after the item leaves their system.
What It Covers
For an additional cost, you can add this package that complements Trupanion’s core policy with 90% cover for:
Acupuncture
Insertion of needles into specific points in the body to cause a desired healing effect.
Behavioural Modification
A systematic approach to changing behaviour, including reactions to a situation, person, object, animal, etc.
Chiropractic Treatment
Spinal manipulation and/or manual therapy to induce healing.
Hydrotherapy
Swimming in a pool or tank or walking on an underwater treadmill to aid healing or conditioning.
Rehabilitative Therapy
Therapeutic exercises to help pets recover from health conditions resulting from illness, trauma, or surgery.
Prescription Food
Any Prescription Food recommended by your veterinarian to treat your pet for a covered condition.
Like with all Trupanion cover, alternative treatments must be given by or under the supervision of a registered veterinarian, and cannot be covered if the condition being treated is pre-existing. Waiting periods apply when adding this to your core cover. We love informed decisions. See our policy for full cover details.
It’s so easy to add extra cover!
