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.

Wish MY health Insurance was as good!

I bought Trupanion insurance for my Golden Brandon when he was 1 year old, thinking that I wouldn't need it until he was elderly - was I ever wrong! He is an avid tennis ball fanatic & he managed to wear down & destroy all four of his canine teeth before the age of 3. The teeth were dead or dying at the time I took him to a doggie dentist. The options were extraction of all 4 teeth or root canals. I chose the root canals but did not want them to be filled with amalgam (no metal or mercury in my boy's mouth!), so the dentist filled them with a composite material & then took impressions for four crowns which now completely cover the teeth. His teeth look good as new now & there are no toxic compounds in his mouth.I live in New York & the cost was astronomical - $6,710! Thank God for Trupanion: they paid $5,547 and I was only out-of-pocket $ 1,163. I am so grateful not to have had the financial burden of paying for his treatment! I have a doggie daycare business & have since replaced all tennis balls with rubber chuckit balls in the hopes that this doesn't happen to any other dogs. I also recommend Trupanion to all my clients because the peace of mind is priceless! Thank you Trupanion!

my experience with trupanion

It meant a lot to me that the staff was so kind, helpful and accommodating. They did everything they could to spend up the process so that my baby could get the diagnostics and treatment she needed, which alleviated a lot of stress during this highly stressful time. There is nothing worse than getting the run around when your worrying about your best friend, I am so thankful that I didn't have to deal with that . I felt like Hades and myself actually mattered to the company and were not just a number. Jessica Kennedy (trupanion staff member)went the extra mile to make the process as stress free as possible, give me someone to talk to about my worries and concerns, and make me feel like Hades mattered as was not just a number. after this experience I know I made the right choice in picking trupanion for my best friend Hades. Thanks again everyone

Great Service

I've filed a few claims in the past 2-3 months and for each claim I received quick reimbursements. I would recommend Trupanion to any pet owner.

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.
