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.

Trupanion is the absolute best pet insurance I have had.

I have had Pet Insurance with 3 companies and Trupanion is far and away the best. They pay claims quickly and accurately. I appreciate their professionalism, and the way they handle phone calls and questions. I recomnend Trupanion to everyone I know who has pets.

Trupanion helped save our cat's life

We have an indoor cat that we rescued as a small kitten. We took her to the vet, tested for the usual things, kept up to date on her shots and enrolled her in a Trupanion policy. She was completely healthy for the first 2 years of her life with one exception. Two years ago she seemed to be under the weather, her appetite was off and she wasn't as active as she had been, so we took her into the vet to have her checked. That was when, to our utter shock, we learned that she was deathly anemic. It turns out, she had been living with an undiagnosed case of feline leukemia that had slipped under the radar during her early life. The only way to save her life was with a costly blood transfusion. Luckily for us, Trupanion had our back. For three months it was an uphill battle to bring "Catniss" back around, involving multiple blood transfusions, medications, and even a few trips to a university veterinary medical center located a hundred miles away. Without an insurance policy, we would not have been able to afford all of this, but Trupanion covered everything at 90% so we were able to save Catniss without going into debt. Since then she has been doing great in general, but this past month she experienced a relapse. Trupanion helped us through it. We joke with her that she's on her 5th life now. But with Trupanion in our corner we have the benefit of being able to focus on her care instead of the costs, and to help her continue enjoying life to its fullest.

customer for 11 years

I have been a customer for 11 years since I first got my puppies and they are almost 12 years old now. Claim is fast and easy with online claim form rather than filling out the paper form and having the vet to sign it like years ago. I also love the fact that you are now linked to my vet so most claims can Ben done right on the spot. Thanks for taking care of my babies for the past 11 years

Trupanion has been an excellent provider

Trupanion has been an excellent provider of pet insurance for our dog. They have quick to reimburse us on all of our claims.

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. Ask your veterinarian about Trupanion Vet Direct Pay.
