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.

Dependable

Trupanion has been fantastic!! My Dog, Preston has had a lot of health problems. There was about a year and a half when he was in the vet almost every 2 weeks!! Trupanion never denied any of my claims and they were all processed in a timely manner. They also gave me pre approval for Preston's major surgery. It was a really hard time, and very stressful, but it made me feel better knowing I could depend on Trupanion to help me out!

True to their word

I was skeptical when I read that Trupsnion would cover 90% of all medical costs. I read the plan in full and decided to sign up. I started immediately when I got my puppy and I amVERY thankful I did. Just after his first birthday, he got a hold of a highly toxic medication. The bills added up quick. We ended up with over $3000 in medical bills. Trupanion came through. No questions asked, they covered exactly what they said they would. I HIGHLY recommend Trupanion. 90% coverage is huge! Read carefully though to understand what us covered (no pre-existing conditions, initial consults...) Even the Trupanion staff was kind and helpful.

Broken hip

I got pet insurance for my cat Dexter because I live in an area where there is a lot of baby rattle snakes. One day Dexter came home limping. It turned out to be a broken hip. He had to have surgery the very next day. It was $2000.00. Trupanion kept me informed at all times during the claim and I received a check in the mail within 2 to 3 weeks. Thank goodness I got pet insurance on Dexter, I never thought he would get in an accident only rattle snakes. I highly recommend Trupanion!

Outstanding

I had never had pet insurance before, and it was recommend that because I was going to be caring for so many cats that I get Insurance. From the first person I spoke with I was made to feel like we were all in this together. That Trupanion care for my pets as much as I did. I have to doubt that I have made the right dissuasion. Thanks to Trupanion my family feels safe knowing that help will be there if needed .

Tumour removal

Dog was licking leg, went to vet on Friday, Tumour was removed Monday, we were reimbursed within 2 weeks of surgery.

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.
