5 Years of Furkin

Meet our Founding Family, see what we've accomplished together, and find out how we're giving some of that love back 🥳

Meet the Furkin Family

The pets who shaped our story

Behind every Furkin policy is a pet with a story. And over the past five years, we’ve been lucky enough to become part of thousands of them.

Meet some of the 18,000+ pets who’ve grown with us along the way 💜

Cheers to five years of care, trust, and tail wags

Five years of Furkin means five years of pets being pets – unexpected adventures, routine checkups, and the occasional “how did they even do that?” moment.

More than anything, it means being there for pet parents when they need us most. Every goofy grin, recovery story, midnight emergency, couch cuddle, and delightfully unhinged pet antic has helped shape the Furkin Fam into the community it is today.

So for our fifth birthday, we're celebrating the pets and their families who made it all possible!

Meet the Furkin Founding Family

Our guests of honour! They were with us since the beginning. Five years later, they’re still part of the family! Meet just a few of the members who have been with us since the very start in 2021.

Chester has always been an active pup. Shortly after he turned 3, he suddenly had a IVDD flare, leaving him with paralysis in the front legs. The event resulted in back surgery and a long rehab. Thankfully, Chester regained movement in his front legs and can now walk and enjoy life again. This would have never been possible without Furkin. We are truly appreciative of everything they have done for us. I can’t imagine what I would have done without them. Thank you, Furkin.

We are so happy that the support is always there, quick and we don’t have to worry about huge bills because the coverage is excellent. Thank you Furkin for being there for my best friend!

When Dudley does something he does it with his whole heart. When playing catch, he dove for the ball and in doing so scraped both carpal pads on his front legs. We were able to get care quickly, and he was ready to go for our upcoming trip to the cottage. Thanks Furkin!
