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.

It was very easy signing up. I had to change one question and chatted with Vanessa, who was very prompt and helpful.

Super Happy Customer :))

I usually don't write reviews, but felt compelled to do so for this company. If you are on the fence about getting Trupanion for your pet, all I can say is you won't be disappointed if you get it! I have had Trupanion for over 11 years, and am very pleased. They always have great customer support and come through on their claims. I am a super happy customer for sure! :))

So far excellent

Enrollment and follow up really well done. Since I have yet to make a claim cannot say anything regarding that.

Best decision I ever made!

Trupanion is honestly the best purchase I ever made in my entire life. I looked into many policies when I knew I was going to be bringing a puppy home. Trupanion was a little more expensive but I wholeheartedly believe it’s worth every penny. I was hoping I would get trupanion but not really need to use it, I’d rather by dog be healthy and have it as a “just in case.” Unfortunately, my pup grew up to have a horribly sensitive tummy and pretty bad allergies. It has resulted in many vet visits and allergy shots which has all been covered. I kept my deductible low so it’s all been affordable. It’s great to have peace of mind knowing I can take my dog to the vet right away instead of playing the waiting game, praying they’ll get better because you’re scared of the vet bills. I lost a dog that way. Never again. Trupanion comes through every time. The customer service is amazing, they repay you very promptly, I have only had one issue but it was resolved very quickly and it was because my vet entered some information wrong. They are so so so great! I tell everyone I can about them. Worth every penny and better than any insurance plan out there. Every other plan has exceptions including healthy paws. Not trupanion! Get it for your pet asap so you won’t have preexisting conditions to worry about! You won’t regret it.

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.
