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.

Have been great to work with!

After debating for months and researching I found Trupanion to be one of the insurance companies that covered the most. I have two olde english bulldogs and in less than a year of having coverage they have paid almost 2k for claims. My small pup choked on a bone and had to be rushed to the emergency room and now my older pup has a partial cruciate ligament tear and over the 3 doctors we have been to they have covered what they state in the policy. The only downfall I see is the fact that they don't cover chiropractic and alternative care. Before we had answers as to our dogs leg issue our regular vet did laser treatment to reduce his swelling and it was not covered under the policy. it would be nice to have that as an endorsement even if it required additional premium. But, for the most part I have been so grateful for having them as my insurer for my pups!

Great service ! Thank you Trupanion!

We recently got insurance from Trupanion for our three dogs. My greatdane Jumbo suffered from gastroenteritis and had to be taken to the vet twice in last month. Needless to say, the vet bill was high because of all the exams/X-rays/ blood-work and medicines! Since it was our first claim, we did not know how it would work.Thanks to Trupanion, our claim got cleared in a very timely way and we received 90% of the cost back within few weeks.Great service from our insurer Trupanion !

Trupanion is great

We have a three year old lab, Gunner. We signed on with Trupanion as soon as we got him. Trupanion processed numerous claims for us, the most recent being for TPLO surgery - a spendy one. Trupanion is always easy to reach with questions and is prompt with processing (provided the vet gets them the necessary paperwork). This particular claim took much longer than usual to process as a result of paperwork issues on the vet's end. I highly recommend them.

Took my lab in for tests with specialist,bill was over 2100. trupanion paid .And now I get email raising monthly rates from 85.00 for 2 dogs to 123.00 .Called and was told they are raising rates for everbody with large dogs. My labs in only 53 pds and golden 43 pds. When I signed up told rates will not increase with age and will only increase if area where i live is more expensive. Haven't moved, but told its a rate increase for all pet owners. then why haven't they raised rates for people I referred to trupanion

Excellent Insurance

I really love this insurance and have advised my vet's office multiple times to spread the word. I have an English Bulldog which is prone to breed specific illnesses and this is the only insurance I could find to cover him. I get 90% of the money back for all covered things and it is very hassle free. The fact that I can fax my claim and have the money within a week is another thing I am great full for. The only thing I'd like is if the actual vet exam was covered if the exam is for an illness or something other than a typical visit.

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.
