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.

Exceptional Company

I cannot not say enough good things about Trupanion Pet Insurance. I insured my Doberman at 10 years of age. Approximately 6-7 months after policy inception she collapsed in my living room with a heart problem. Shortly after she developed problems with a mass on her leg that was inoperable due to her heart issues. This company paid approximately 18,000.00 to 20,000.00 dollars over the course of time that she was insured. I had a 250.00 deductible and they paid 90% of everything except office visits. This company is phenomenal. My girl enjoyed a great quality of life up until the end. I could not have afforded to take care of her with all of her issues without Trupanion. They are the best!

Prompt

My first experience with Trupanion was a positive one. My Vet signed me up for first 30 day free trial and unfortunately I had to take advantage of it. As soon as I vet submitted a claim I received an email that it was under review. I would guess it was within 24 hours of submittion. My reimbursement check came shortly thereafter.

TTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Tessa, out female shepherd collie crossshowed sudden symptoms such as walking into furniture, walls and doors and had very poor balance. She was not her usual self. We first had her assessed by our local veterinarian who said that she was blind in her left eye and half blind in her right eye. She was then assessed by a veterinary eye specialist who determined that her eyes were functioning but that she may have a brain tumor. She was then referred to a neurologist for further investigation. She required extensive medical intervention at great cost. After extensive medical tests it was determined that she had meningitis-encephalitis. She was treated and appears to be on the road to recovery but will require further intervention to maintain her health and well being. We submitted our claims to Trupanion and we were surprised at how quickly they responded to our clain in such a professional manner. There was no delay and no fuss. We will recommend Trupanion to all our friends who have pets. Thanks again Trupanion. You have saved us a lot of worry and stress.

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.
