In addition to my 3 year genetic health warranty, your puppy comes homes with 1 month of Trupanion pet insurance. This coverage must be activated the day of pickup by you. Trupanion will call you to verify information that I have given them. Because I sign all puppies up before they leave my home, they go home with you covered and with no preexisting conditions. Maintaining the insurance is optional to you.
