    Your monthly rate is determined by multiple factors, including your pet’s species, gender, breed, age, and zip code, and the deductible amount you choose.  

    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.

    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.

FAQ

The important answers to help you make an informed decision.

faq

What does dog insurance cover?

Pet health insurance is similar to human health insurance. It covers your dog’s veterinary bills in case of illness or injury. It can also cover things like pet wellness visits, dog dental cleanings, vaccinations, and the cost of spay/neuter procedures.

The most comprehensive plans cover everything from checkups to accidents and illness. Basic plans only cover accidents and unexpected injury or illness. 

It’s essential to find a pet insurance plan that works for you and your pet so that your pet will always be cared for.

How much does dog insurance cost?

Choosing the best pet insurance plan isn’t about finding the cheapest option. It’s all about finding the coverage that best meets your needs and budget; without sacrificing your dog’s health.

The cost of dog insurance will vary depending on what is included in your individualized policy. The coverage included in plans can range from basic accident and illness coverage to complete nose-to-tail protection.

Most insurers offer varying co-payment and deductible options, and the age and breed of your pet and where you live can also affect your pet insurance premiums. It is important to compare a range of insurers to find a policy that best suits your individual needs and budget.

What are pre-existing conditions, and are they covered?

Most dog insurance providers won’t cover pre-existing conditions in any basic plan. Your insurance policy is unlikely to cover treatment related to these known conditions.

Some providers will include these pre-existing conditions on the higher-priced plans. A recurring health problem or a condition, such as diabetes or cancer, will typically be classified as a pre-existing condition by your insurer.

Because most pet insurance companies don’t cover pre-existing conditions, it’s important to take out health insurance for your pet while they’re still young. Most pet insurance companies will enroll pets as young as six weeks old.
