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.

Thank God for Trupanion!

I typically do not take the time write reviews. However, I had to write one because of the awesome service I received at Trupanion. This is my first experience with having pet insurance, and all I have to say is I am SO glad I got it. Some friends just don't understand why I got pet insurance for my lil guy, but believe me - if you would do anything for your dog/cat like fork out all your savings to make them better when they are ill...trust me, get pet insurance. It is a peace of mind and worth it. The cost of vet services are so expensive. Unfortunately my lil guy has gotten pretty sick in the last couple months and was diagnosed with gastroenteritis with a probable ulcer. I had to go to the vet twice and both those visits were approx. $400. I was impressed with the processing of my claims and it wasa lot faster than I expected. Once you submit your claim, Trupanion e-mails and contacts you that they received it. They also send you another notification when the claim is under review. I received my check within 2 weeks. Things I do like: Trupanion keeps you updated along the way and they are clear on the break down of costs of what they cover and if you met your deductible. My only minor complaint is that I wish they would cover the consultation/examination/recheck fees as every visit to the vet is pretty costly and this alone ranges from $50 - 60. Otherwise Trupanion cover everything else - 90% of it which is GREAT. Overall I am very satisifed with my experience with Trupan

Good Insurance

I have never used pet insurance before, so I have nothing to compare it to, but so far Trupanion has been great. My dog has been diagnosed with kidney stones and Trupanion has helped with the medication and monthly U/A checks. They pay fast and the process is easy. Good to have peace of mind.

Excellent Service

We have had pet insurance with Trupanion for over four years now on our Bichon pet.He has not had many health problems however on two occasions we have had to forward claims to Trupanion. Each time they have provided impressive service and we would highly recommend the company to pet owners without hesitation.

Great Claims Service

Our dog Niko was hit by a car a week ago. The Trupion team was excellent and handling our calls / claims. They were so understanding and compassionate with Niko's accident. They processed the claim within days and kept us informed by email every step of the way. We've never had to put in a claim and hope never to put one in again however dealing with Trupanion was excellent. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for pert insurance. Great company, great people!! Bruno and Maria Panzica

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.
