America’s second largest provider of pet insurance, Seattle-based Trupanion, confirmed earlier this week that the company is now blocking The Canine Review’s domain name.

(Nasdaq: TRUP) has just launched a “time-limited,” low-cost pet insurance brand in Canada, PHI Direct, which will launch in the United States later this year, along with a third insurance product at a medium price point, Furkin.
