Trupanion Pet Insurance provides “medical insurance for the life of your pet” with any veterinarian in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Trupanion features Vet Direct Pay, which pays claims directly to participating providers in as little as five minutes. This benefit prevents you from having to fill out extensive claim paperwork or wait to be reimbursed.

Pet Insurance Policy Coverage


A Trupanion Pet Insurance policy also pays 90% of eligible costs without caps or limits. They also do not automatically increase rates as your pet ages.

Some companies may drop coverage when a certain number of claims are filed, but Trupanion has no limits on claims. Additionally, their coverage does not discriminate based on age and has a standard waiting period at enrollment of only 30 days.

A unique feature of Trupanion’s policies is a lifetime per-condition deductible. Rather than a single deductible for a year that covers all eligible issues, you pay one deductible for a given condition over the life of your pet. This feature can be especially beneficial for pets who develop chronic medical conditions.

Coverage from Trupanion focuses on the unexpected, so wellness/preventative care, spaying/neutering and pre-existing conditions are not covered. The unexpected, however, is covered at 90%.

Deductibles & Enrollment

Trupanion has a wide range of deductibles to choose from, including the option not to have a deductible at all. This means a pet owner can choose from hundreds of price options to pick what works best for their budget. 

The Trupanion pet insurance policy allows you to enroll your pet from birth for true lifelong coverage.

Anyone who owns a cocker knows they come with “issues” lol. It’s usually the ears, but my boy decided to completely tear his ACL and partially tear his meniscus! The surgery was expensive and Trupanion came through quickly with my reimbursement:) I did...

Monthly Cost

Monthly cost varies due to multiple factors including: your pet's breed, age at enrollment and gender and the chosen deductible and the cost of veterinary care in your area.

Monthly premiums do not automatically increase just because your pet has a birthday or just because you file a claim. Premium changes over time are due to changes in the average cost of care for pets similar to yours based on claims made and inflation.

 

Coverage

90% of eligible expenses are covered with all Trupanion policies (after deductible).

All plans cover:

  • Hereditary conditions (i.e. hip dysplasia, diabetes, etc.)
  • Congenital conditions (i.e. heart disease, cataracts, liver disease, etc.)
  • Unidentified conditions (i.e. vomiting/diarrhea, cough, change in weight, etc.)

Additional riders offer coverage for:

  • Recovery and Complementary Care (acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy, etc.)
  • Pet Owner Assistance (boarding costs if you are hospitalized, advertising a lost pet, etc.)

Plans do not cover:

  • Exam fees
  • Wellness, elective and cosmetic care
  • Taxes
  • Pre-existing conditions
Payout Limits

Trupanion offers unlimited lifetime coverage without payout limits or caps.

 

Deductible

Offers a flexible deductible from $0 - $1000, to fit any budget and can be raised or lowered at any time.

A lifetime, per condition deductible means that once the deductible is met for a condition your policy begins paying out at 90% for anything related to that condition for the rest of your pet's life. *Trupanion say:"This is great for chronic conditions that can span the entirety of a pets life such as allergies or cancer".
