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 best decision I made for my pet!

My dog Sophie recently had surgery for a congenial disease in her hip. Her surgery was going to cost me $2600, but with Trupanions help I and only paying $200. Trupanion was very helpful with any questions I had about her coverage. The first time I spoke with a representative from Trupanion they were able to tell me what kind of coverage was best for my dog's breed and what congenial diseases I should cover just incase. Thanks to the background information the representative was able to give me about my dog, she was able to get the surgery she needed to make her better!I recommend Trupanion to anyone with pets they love, Trupainon shows true support and really cares.

Thanks Trupanion!! you were amazing!

Trupanion was amazing handling my puppies medical bills. I loved the face they would email me once they got the bill and then email me again letting me know everything was approved and they were mailing me the chq. Unfortunatily my puppy did not survive and passed away due to a narrow trachea. Only had him in my life for 3 weeks. they were the most amazing 3 weeks of my life with this little guy. Trupanion you were amazing and when the time is right and i get myself another puppy i will be getting my pet insurance from you!!!! thanks for the great survice!!!

Great service and coverage

My dog broke her leg. I faxed all the invoices for the medical expenses to Trupanion and immediately received periodic email updates on the status of my claim. The claim was approved and I received a check in the mail within one week. Trupanion has a great plan and customer service. The staff at the animal hospital also told me that Trupanion was the best plan for coverage and service.

Great Service!

My lab was limping and lethargic, turns out my Vet thought he had gotten bit by a snake. Luckily they were able to treat him and I had no concern about the cost of care and treatment because of Trupanion. Within a day I received an email saying they had received my claim and a week later I was reimbursed and all is well.

We were very relieved that we had this pet insuran

When our Vet recommed a free 30 day Trupanion pet insurance, we accepted it right away and it was a good thing we did. With in a week, our 7 week old Boxer puppy ate poison mushrooms and almost died. The Vet's were great and saved our Riley but the Vet bills totaled close to $1000. Thank God we had this insurance and today, we still contune to use it as we live on several acres in Central Oregon. You will never know when a problem will happen to your pet and the Vet bills can add up fast. We love our Riley so very much and will protect him for what ever it will take. We recomend this insurance because we never had a problem with Trupanion and their concern is not only with our pet but with its owners.

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.
