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.

I LOVE Trupanion!!!

I bought 3 puppies 15 months ago -- In January 2013 -- one of my puppies started walking funny, would not play, would fall if they tried to jump on hind legs. She had luxating patellas. I saw my vet on Tuesday was referred to Specialty Hospital on Friday and had surgery Friday afternoon. I filed the claim a week later on Monday -- by Friday of the same week, the insurance company contacted me telling me how much was being paid on my claim. They were so quick and efficient. I have had pet insurance in the past with another company and they were not even close to the quality Trupanion is. I am so pleased with this company. Word of mouth is a powerful thing -- I am telling everybody about this insurance -- and I know several people have gotten insurance based on my good experience with this company.

Excellent and hassle free

I would rate it 10 if there were exam, office call, well care, etc coverage if you choose it. I couldn't be more pleased with Trupanion, they are all they say they are. They covered 90% of a large claim for our dear dog's Cruciated Ligament surgery, quickly and efficently. The deductible per incident is another great service. Whenever I have called, the service is amazing.

Outstanding Coveraqge

We've had Trupanion since our dog was 12 weeks old. He is now 2 and I highly recommend this insurance! We've had a couple of claims and Trupanion came through with no issues. They are very responsive and care about your pet as much as you do! But the best part about Trupanion is peace of mind. No one wants their pet to become ill but having Trupanion, I know my pet will be cared for without having to worry about a high bill.

Wonderful Service

I am not only a pet owner, but also represent the veterinary industry. I manage a veterinary office in Ontario, Canada. Through my own experience, and the experience of our clients, I can say I have always been incredibly satisfied with Trupanion. Both my cat and dog have Trupanion insurance, and I have always had excellent claims experiences with them. I recommend Trupanion to all our clients!

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.
