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.

Chiquita health
I thought that having a health insurance for my 5 lbs chihuahua named Chuita was ridicously. But I soon realized that my little companion health was that ultimate priority for me. Trupanion was recommended by our vet and I am soo glad we decided to join. We have had only excellent results without any hussle on claims. I have recommended Trupanion to others pet owners.

Best insurance ever
I had ASPCA for my two cats for years. It was real B.S. You know ASPCA should shame themselves. Only cover up to $1500 for one incident/year only. I kept ASPCA feeling like my good will against my instinct. Finally I moved to Trupanion last October. Then one of my cats got kidney failure. Last October was transition time so my cat was double insured. ASPCA only paid me $1500 out of $7000 plus cost after weeks of communication. Trupanion pick up the rest. It was close to 90% of the balance. And fast. Right I submit the document from ASPCA, it only take 10 days. Trupanion I will give A. To ASPCA, I will give C.

Professional and compassionate
From the day that I enrolled my little rescue, the experience has been nothing but professional and when it came to the the appropriate time compassionate. Always helpful, knowledgeable, understanding, they actually listen! Seriously, everyone should have pet insurance that has a pet, or reconsider having a pet. Because what happened to me could happen to anyone, and, it was boom, out of left field! I was grateful that I did not have to make the decision to put the sweetheart down. So get insurance! Or be responsible and don't get a pet if you cannot afford to really take care of it.
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!
