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.

Rising Premiums but So Far Good Coverage

I was incredibly frustrated recently due to seeing my premium rise in cost in rapid succession, especially after moving to Ft Lauderdale. I never thought my pet insurance would reach car payment status, and I’ve been a loyal customer since 2017. I want to love TRUPANION and they recently did pay a good portion of my last vet bill, but I honestly have no other insurance company to compare it to, and I think all pet owners would pretty much do anything for their pets. I believe the real reason of rising premiums is the amount of people that have recently become pet owners due to Covid, and they’re taking advantage because they know people have no choice but to have the insurance, and if that’s the case, why not boost the price while we’re at it because we have to pay more people to process your insurance money. With all that being said, TRUPANION is by far one of the easiest companies to work with, the least hassle I’ve ever had with claims processing and responses from any company, and they have covered a good portion of my claim requests considering my pet has chronic ear infections and bad allergies. I would definitely recommend TRUPANION due to the coverage, but I’d definitely make sure it fits your budget, because they don’t tell you when they’re raising the cost of your premiums, they just do it!

The importance of having insurance

Your pet is your special best friend ! And you want him to be in good health but sometimes they get sick/accident and you don't know what it's wrong so you take your little friend to the Vétérinaire ! So, the costs for the exams and x-rays and so on, can be very expensive! That's when the time to get insurance for your little puppy and I tell you by experience that "you should " for the inconditionnel love of him or her!! Now, I would like to thank the team from my 'hôpital Vétérinaire Trifluvien' , you're amazing people with courtesy, humanity and professionalism ! ! Thanks for taking very good care of my two babies Doodles Matthew and Janis ! ! And I can't forget my insurance "Trupanion" for being so understandable, you're such an important issue when something was or is wrong with my two little friends!! So I highly recommend that whoever is reading this and have pets, get insured for the love of them!! Et voilà un gros Merci ! Francine, Matthew et Janis !

Great help for procedure prior to med use

This claim was for a procedure done prior other medical procedures our vet had recommended. The vet's office wanted to make sure our cat's heart could manage the effects of anesthetic used during the procedures. We appreciate the thoroughness of the review of the claims department personnel.

Amazing!

I just can not give this company enough praise. I want to say that I have never had any sort of medical instance for as quickly and stress free, dog or human. In a very quick turn of events we went from seeing a vet for a consult to our dog having surgery. It was such an easy process and the staff at the hospital told us the Trupanion was the best. “They are super quick with pre-approvals and usually settle within a day.” You never know when you purchase insurance, will it really be what they are selling? But we had gotten the 90/10 ratio coverage for our French Bulldog. And yes, they paid 90% of the bill. With our deductable and our co-pay we paid about 1,000$ on a 6400$ bill. I can’t tell you how important it is to get pet insurance. I can’t imagine having to sit in that room, hear what your pet needs and wonder if you have enough money in your savings for it. Or if you have a credit card with enough to cover it. Something that could have been stressful was just not a worry. I kept saying, “no problem, we have good insurance” and they truly proved it. I will always have pet insurance and it will always be with Trupanion!

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.
