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 just an all-around GREAT company. They care and it comes across in all they do!

Trupanion is, hands down, one of the best companies I have ever done business with. Trupanion cares and it comes across in all they do. We lost our house in the October 19, 2017 firestorm in Santa Rosa CA and I was late in submitting several claims. Not only did Trupanion promptly process the late claims, but they also sent a card signed by their team members expressing their concern. I love this company. They truly care. You will feel the difference.

Easy to use.

Easy to use. I just wish Trupanion would also cover a percentage of regular checkups and the vets fees.

I tell everyone about Trupanion!

I tell everyone about Trupanion! I wish my human health insurance was as supportive and fast acting as Trupanion!!! My 8 year old German Shepherd has many health issues. Just recently she had emergency surgery for BLOAT. When one chooses to have a breed that can have many different health issues, Dog insurance is a must! We have never been denied a claim from Trupanion. I can not say enough about the communication that Trupanion gives you when dealing with a claim. Trupanion is updated by email/text through every step of the claim process. All of the representatives I have dealt with have truly been real not just reading a script or trying to get me off the phone. They truly are very helpful and care about what is happening with my pet. One of my dog s health issues happened at a time that I was dealing with some serious health issues. I had to call Trupanion to check on something. After a very caring phone conversation, the representative was so kind and she sent a follow up Get Well card for both me and my dog. When I called this past time from the VCA hospital not knowing if my dog was going to live... the representative calmed me down and was so supportive. I am not being paid or given anything to say/write this... I wish more companies were run like Trupanion. I get what I0 pay for and MORE with Trupanion. They truly care, they don't mess around, they just get it done... whatever it is that I need from them!

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.
