Pets can be full of surprises-so their insurance coverage shouldn’t be. That’s why Trupanion is dedicated to helping pets we love get the care they need. They’ve been around for more than 20 years, making them experts and setting standards for the industry. One perk of this, and what they pride themselves on, is the amount they pay out to pet owners for each claim. Paying out more on the dollar than any other pet insurance provider. To date they have paid out $2 Billion in claims and have insured nearly 1 million pets. Trupanion pets lead longer happier lives.1 Pets insured with Trupanion lived longer than pets without Trupanion because pet parents didn’t have to worry about the cost of the care their pet needed. Depending on the plan Trupanion covers up to 90% of eligible expenses, has unlimited payouts-always, and can pay your vet bill, within seconds, at time of checkout, so all you pay is your portion (anything not covered by Trupanion). They have transformed the way pet insurance handles claims by eliminating the reimbursement process. To put it simply, there is a reason why 98.7% of Trupanion members stay enrolled every month. 1 Based on a November 2020 internal study analyzing third party hospital claims data comparing pets insured with a Trupanion policy to pets without a Trupanion policy. * Terms and Conditions apply.

Very satisfied pet owner.

We love our pets: Daniel and Napoleon like children, and, because they dedicate themselves to giving us so much love, we want to take care of them in the very best manner when it comes to their health. A few years ago I did research for pet insurance and after reading many reviews, I chose Trupanion. Recently, our Napoleon had to have surgery. I filed a claim and received responses immediately via e-mail. The claim was accepted and were told we will receive a check (the 90%) that Trupanion guarantees to help cover our expenses. I would highly recommend Trupanion to everyone who wants the very best for their furry children.

Amazing!

We are so happy that we insured our pups with Trupanion from the time they were very young. We've had many claims ( ranging from cataract surgeries, to skin tumours and a broken toe... to a hospital visit when one ate a rug!) All claims have been evaluated and paid promptly. We are so confident in Trupanion and would never delay seeking care for our pups if there is the slightest issue because of this confidence. Best company ever!! - Thank you Trupanion for such peace of mind.

Simple, Caring, Professional

TruPanion has been a saving grace to our two cats. I manage the care of both my mother's cat and mine. Our vet, Pet Crossing, submits claims right while we are in the office. Ususally, care is processed quickly, I pay my deductible plus the balance and we are off back home to catnip and curled up napping. This was the case in our most recent trip to Pet Crossing. TruPanion also has pre-approval of claims for those serious incidences where I needed solid financial information to understand if I could move forward with treatment. Though premiums have risen as our cats age, our two cats have not had to cash in any of their nine lives since being covered by TruPanion.

Wonderful Experience

I love the fact that I chose this company to ensure my little baby I do not have to worry when I take her in to Vet for treatment.

Excellent customer service.

Easy to submit claim forms. When I had to call with questions, the persons I spoke with were knowledgable, helpful, and very sympathetic.

Monthly Cost

Your monthly premium is determined by multiple factors including your pet’s species, gender, breed, age, zip code, and the deductible amount you choose if your policy allows.

Coverage

Depending on your plan, the Trupanion policy pays up to 100% of your vet bill for all eligible expenses. There are unlimited payout limits, always and Trupanion will never increase or cancel your coverage because of claims you submit. Coverage includes new accidents and illnesses, hereditary, congenital, and chronic conditions, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and much more. Trupanion prides itself on paying out more on the dollar than any other provider and has paid out nearly $2 billion in claims to date.

Payout Limits

The Trupanion policy* has no payout limits, so whether your pet needs one quick visit or a lifetime of care, your coverage won’t quit. That can mean a big difference if your pet develops a chronic condition requiring extended care like allergies, diabetes, or even cancer.

Deductible

If your Trupanion policy has a deductible, you can customize it to fit your budget. You can choose from $50 to $1,000 in increments of $5, or choose to have no deductible at all. Trupanion deductibles are per-condition and good for the life of your pet. That means no annual resets-once a deductible is met, you never have to pay the deductible for that condition again.

Age Limits

All new pets can enroll from birth until their 14th birthday. Once your pet is enrolled, they can be enrolled for life

Waiting Period

Waiting periods vary by state. Please see your states policy for full coverage details. However, other providers may have additional waiting periods for congenital conditions like hip dysplasia, Trupanion does not.

Exclusions

Trupanion was developed to protect you and your pet from unexpected illnesses and injuries. That means we don’t cover “predictable” care costs that you can plan ahead for, like: Examination fees Wellness and preventive care Elective, or cosmetic procedures Sales tax, where applicable Like many other pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early! * Terms and Conditions apply. Coverage may vary by state. Not all veterinarians accept direct payment.
