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 Great

My young female German Shorthaired Pointer has had diarrhea assoiated with intermittent vomitting and anorexia over several weeks.We have worked it up and treated with a variety of options. Trupanion has handled multiple submissions under this illness in an expedient manner and without balking at fairly extensive diagnostics. My young male GSP had dental issues and surgery to correct those issues, and Trupanion handled that claim in a similar manner. They collect the necessary infomration and pay the claim in a quick and efficient manner. They do not argue with what the vet recommends but rather leave the medical decisions to the medical expert. Having had other pet insurance for my previous dogs, I can attest that Trupanion's claim management is truly outstanding.

Easiest part of my dogs health issues

dealing with trupanion has been the easiest experience of my dogs illness and constant problems. I am so grateful I have chose them as an insurance because everything with them has been so easy. My life with my pup Cheech is not easy and having the insurance part (which is a big deal) be so easy, makes me feel at ease and it's one less thing to worry about and all I have to do is worry about getting my pup back to recovery. I recommend anyone that has a beloved pet to go with trupanion, they have saved my dog and I'll never be able to thank them enough for all the help. Go trupanion !

Excellence in Service!

A good friend had some major surgery come up for her dog a few years ago, the bill was in the tens of thousands. She thankfully had Trupanion and couldn't say enough about it. We are truly grateful to have found Trupanion and everyone has been so generous and helpful. One of our babies had a mass removed and they found cancer, the doctor suggested radiation and it was all covered up to 90%. Can't imagine being able to do it without Trupanion.

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.
