Should You Keep Trupanion Insurance After Bringing Home Your Kitten

When families bring home a new kitten, one of the first big choices they face is whether to keep pet insurance like Trupanion. Many plan to cancel after the first month, but that choice can make a big difference later on.

Every Marwood kitten goes home with the option of 30 days of free Trupanion insurance. This coverage must be activated either 24 hours before or 24 hours after bringing home your new kitten. After that time, it is up to each family to decide whether to continue with Trupanion, choose another pet insurance company, or self insure by saving for emergencies on their own.

If you are not great at saving money, or if you are unsure, keep Trupanion. If you are a disciplined saver, you can safely skip insurance but only if you put money aside every month for pet emergencies.

Why Trupanion Can Be a Lifesaver

Trupanion helps pay for unexpected vet bills when your kitten gets sick or hurt. This can include things like heart murmurs that need a cardiologist, dental issues such as gingivitis, or accidents and infections. Even healthy kittens can face sudden problems, and vet costs can rise quickly. Having Trupanion helps you care for your kitten without worrying about how to pay for it.

The Savings Test

Ask yourself honestly. If something unexpected happened, do you have one to three thousand dollars set aside for your cat right now?

If your answer is no, I do not know, I am not sure, or I think so, then you need to keep Trupanion. But if you can confidently say yes, I have a savings fund and I add to it every month, then you may not need to keep the insurance. Instead, commit to setting aside money for emergencies each month.

What Responsible Pet Owners Do

There are two smart ways to plan ahead. The first is to keep Trupanion and pay a set monthly fee so you know your kitten is covered for large and sudden expenses. The second is to self insure. Skip the monthly payments, but put that same amount into a special savings account for your pet every month without fail. This account is for emergencies only, such as illness or injury. Regular yearly checkups and routine care do

not count and should be budgeted separately.

The biggest mistake people make is canceling Trupanion and not saving money. That is when surprise vet bills cause stress or delay care.

Important Note

Not keeping pet insurance or saving for emergencies does not mean that the breeder will help cover vet costs. Once your kitten goes home, all medical care and expenses are the responsibility of the new owner. Having Trupanion or a dedicated savings fund in place makes sure you are ready for anything.

Final Thought

Every pet owner needs a plan, either insurance or steady savings. Trupanion is not only for pets with health problems. It is for anyone who might find it hard to pay for a sudden vet visit. If you are unsure, keep the insurance for peace of mind. Your kitten deserves quick and proper care, and you deserve to feel confident that you can always provide it.
