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.

I tell everyone to go to Trupanion

I truly don't have a single complaint. I can't say it's the cheapest insurance but as they say, you get what you pay for. I insured my fur-baby days after she came home. She was diagnosed with a liver disease a mere 2 months later. Trupanion paid for everything as promised, fast and without any arguments about what was covered or not. They continued to do so test after test, procedure after procedure. They checked in on her. They fixed errors in reimbursement almost the second they were identified. Best of all, they didn't increase my rates exponentially because I dated to use the insurance I purchased. I have not been let down by Trupanion yet. As her disease progresses, I know I can at least have one less thing I need to worry about and I couldn't be more grateful. It's heartbreaking enough without having to think about the financial component.

Worth the extra money

Was hesitant about getting insurance for my dog. Have never needed in the past and figured what the hell. What made my select these guys is the pay out with no limits. I got to put it to the test 8 months in when my pup ate two large socks and had a minor obstruction. $3500 later I get a check for 90% -$500 deductible. Currently I am using the insurance monthly due to allergies my golden has. Everything from his bathing supplies and medication and shots are all covered. I would not hesitate getting insurance again has saved me a boat load.

Trupanion: shines light into dark times.

I completed a spreadsheet to calculate the amount I would spend on insurance premiums over 18 years and the amount actually spent on cats who have been pets in my family over the past 30 years. Even the cats who only went to the veterinarian during their last year of life, I discovered that bills for gum infection and other treatable conditions that are increasingly common in cats over age 10, cost more than insurance premiums alone over the lives of those cats. In other words, 10 years of premiums costs less than veterinary bills for treatable conditions in the 11th year. My cat, Freddy, was my family's first pet with health insurance. He received cancer treatment during his 16th year of life. He completed treatment. He lived for 13 months with zero vet visits and no obvious symptoms. He died at almost 18 years old. I have two cats now who also get all the care they need.

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.
