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.

Great Insurance

I have a dog who is accident prone. I decided to try this insurance to see if it was everything I was told it was. I was pleasantly surprised that the claim was taken care of and paid within the week after the accident happened. I would highly recommend Trupanion.

Excellent

We unfortunately have had to make several claims for our puppy. Trupanion always replies in an extremely timely fashion. Most times we are refunded within a couple weeks and we are never hassled or questioned. Their policy is very straight forward and easy to understand.

Awesome Pet Insurance Company

I chose to purchase insurance with Trupanion for my little kitten because of high recommendations from other people. I had recently lost my 16 year old cat to lymphoma and had spent thousands of dollars on medical bills since she had no insurance and I would not have been able to live with myself if I hadn't done everything I could to give her whatever additional quality of life possible. I was almost 100% sure that I would not have to use the insurance for my kitten at least until he got older. I took my kitten to the vet the day after I brought him home for a wellness check-up; he was perfectly healthy and a couple of weeks later he got the vaccination (booster) recommended by the vet. I fed him high quality cat food and he had access to fresh water at all times and his litter box was cleaned at least twice daily and he got plenty of exercise and was a very happy and playful kitten. Nonetheless, a few months later, he got very sick. Trupanion has been 100% true to its word and has allowed me to provide him with much needed medical care. I am 100% satisfied with Trupanion and would definitely recommend Trupanion to anyone. Unfortunately, my little kitten has passed on and I cannot express how devastated and heartbroken I am! I wish with all my heart that I had never had to make any claims and that my sweet little baby was still with me, but the fact is that Trupanion was there when my kitten and I needed it. You can do everything the vet recommends and yo

Fantastic again!

Trupanion is just the best company out there. They have been instrumental to providing the best possible care for my dog and their customer services is second to none. They strive to provide the best care of their insured pets and it shows. There are no other insurance companies out there that genuinely care for their clients rather than being interested in the profit. This is a great business model and I am certain that it keeps attracting new cutsomers. Who wouldn't want to feel like they are Trupanion's only client :)?

The best!

This insurance company is the best! As a new customer I was really grateful for their support. Maggie is now doing just fine, but still having medications. Thank you 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.
