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 saved his life

Our puppy had an unexpected injury requiring multiple surgeries, medications, lots of aftercare and tests. Trupanion saved his life. When we needed to have an emergency surgery that day I was able to get preapproval within an hour. Your payout policies are exactly as clearly stated when I first signed up with Trupanion guys and there have been no surprises along the way. You even helped by recommending that we see if our vet hospital would accept direct payment from you rather than requiring us to pay thousands of dollars upfront. We continue to take Oscar for his aftercare and are hoping for a speedy recovery. Thanks to Trupanion my puppy will have an opportunity for a full life. I've already started recommending Trupanion to my friends and family.

They are what they say they are

Trupanion has been everything they claimed on their website. At first, I didn't really believe it would be as easy as they said, but I am happy to say, having Trupanion has saved my dog's life. I have had to deal with 2 major issues with my dog. The only way I was able to provide the level of care he needed, was because of Trupanion. They are extremely helpful with my questions, they processed claims very fast and have supported all the different types of treatments my dog needs. Trupanion gives me peace of mind that I otherwise would not have. I am so grateful I found them!

I am Beyond Happy with Trupanion

I am beyond happy with Trupanion. Other than one small glitch caused by a misunderstanding a couple of years ago, Trupanion has helped me provide the very best of care for my precious dogs. My eldest dog became very ill at the start of this this year and having Trupanion has enabled me to have her hospitalised as required and to have any diagnostics and treatment advised by her Specialist. I cannot imagine the pain of having to refuse treatment for a pet because it is beyond financial reach - they deserve the very best of care at all times. Veterinary costs are extremely high, particularly with an ongoing and high maintenance illness, which none of us can predict will happen. Without the support of Trupanion we could never have afforded the care our dogs have received. I am a strong advocate for pet insurance and I unreservedly recommend Trupanion to all pet parents.

Trupanion is the best

Trupanion is the best ! We are so grateful that we signed up with them. Our precious angel has three major diseases and Trupanion is making it possible to keep him going with a good quality of life. Thank you!

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.
