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.

ACL Surgery for 12 year old dog

We switched vets in the fall and our new Vet recommended a 30 day trial with Trupanion after the 30 days I thought I would keep it for awhile longer. I'm glad I did…our 12 year old West Highland Terrier tore his ACL about a month after we extended the trail. We had some initial issues because they, Trupanion, did not have his complete medical records from 4 other Vets and that was a little scary because we new that this was a new issue and not an existing issue and were being told that they couldn't let us know if it was covered until the records were reviewed. My recommendation is to get ALL your records to them when you sign up and update as you go along…then if an issue comes about they will have all of your pets records on file and should be able to answer ALL questions when you submit the claim ALSO look at getting PRE-APPROVED…that would have been a huge help. We had about 3 to 4 days before the surgery and had we started the pre-approval the scariness would not have been there. Would I recommend this insurance...YES!!! We have never had pet insurance BUT with having 4 dogs at various ages I believe we will be continuing our policies with Trupanion for years to come.

great 1st experience

This was our first time submitting a claim and we were very pleased with the response. The people we spoke to were caring and knowledgeable and the claim was processed within 3 weeks. There was a little hiccup with Canadian/U.S. funds, but we were delighted to have this cleared up and receive payment for the difference within a few days. All in all we couldn't ask for better service. You guys really live up to your brochure!

VERY PLEASED WITH SERVICE

I have never taken insurance out on my animals before, but when I adopted this cat and was told by the vet her breed although probably not pure. The details of the policy and at her young age I thought I would give it a try. When she became ill was glad I had. The promptness of looking after the claim has impressed me.

Best pet insurance ever!

I went with Trupanion after reading up on all my options-they are the BEST pet insurance there is. All my claims are promptly reviewed and I am reimbursed very quickly. I have filed several claims as my pet has many health issues and never once have I ever encountered a problem with Trupanion or had to fight to have a claim paid for. The customer service reps I speak with whenever I call are so caring and compassionate and are very knowledgeable. My insurance rates are more than reasonable, and with all of my pet's health issues, I sleep better at night knowing with Trupanion that I will never have to lose my pet because of inability to pay a large vet bill. I can not say enough wonderful things about Trupanion and how truly pleased I am with every aspect and dealing with their company. I would never recommend any other pet insurance to friends and family except Trupanion.

Maya's Health Insurance

This is my 2nd claim in a couple of months. A couple of months ago she needed mouth surgery and 6 teeth removed along with other tests. The bill came to $1300 but I only had to pay about $256.00. My vet's office uses express claims and I did not have to lay out all that money and wait for a refund. I only paid my portion. This time around my cat was vomiting quite a bit and tests were taken. Her bill came to about $286.00 and with express claims I only had to lay out $78.00. I've had VPI in the past for several dogs and did not get much money back, but did pay more for the monthly premium as well. I'm thrilled with Trupanion so far and hope they continue to take care of us the way they are now.

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.
