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.

The Best

My dog has been insured with Trupanion since May of 2011 and I have had to submit several claims since that time. I decided to go with the $0 deductible plan, as I really liked the idea of getting my vet costs almost completely reimbursed. I also purchased the endorsement which will cover hip dysplasia (for a nominal extra premium). The plan I chose to go with pays 90% of all covered expenses. The other company I had prior to Trupanion was woefully inadequate in paying out for much of anything and I ended up with huge costs that they just did not cover...plus,no illness/condition, etc. that was considered "hereditary" or "genetic" was covered by them either. Trupanion also states that they do not raise the insurance premiums as the pet ages (with minor exceptions). The service I have received has been prompt and absolutely more than satisfactory. I have recommended Trupanion to many people who have dogs and cats. Choosing Trupanion was the best decision I ever made for my Golden Retriever.

I 100% recommend Trupanion

My husband and I signed both of our dogs up with Trupanion. After reveiwing other pet insurance plans we felt Trupanion was the best plan. Unfortunatley we have had to use our insruance due to our pet becoming ill with cancer. We submitted our claims via fax and we were reimbursed within two weeks for eligiable medical expenses. The Trupanion staff treats you with respect, compassion and, are very professional. I reccomend Trupanion 100%. Alesha and James Boyd

Can't say enough good things about this company.

I had my doubts about getting pet insurance, but decided to give it a try, figuring that I could always cancel if I wasn't happy with it. And when my young Shiloh Shepherd was recently diagnosed with a life threatening illness, I was half expecting to be disappointed in the support that having the insurance would bring.However, since the time I first advised Trupanion of my dogs illness, this company has been there every step of the way. 24 hours a day I've been able to get questions answered by phone, and every claim that I've submitted has been quickly responded to. The staff that I've spoken with or had written communication with, have been friendly and extremely professional. It was pretty devastating finding out that my young dog was suffering from a life threatening illness. Having this support group in place was the smartest thing I ever did.

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.
