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.

Fabulous!

Trupanion is the best hands down! The turn around time for reimbursement is fast and the customer service is excellent. I highly recommend them to every dog owner I meet, especially bulldog parents. I have never experienced any issues and they have been our bully's insurance provider for almost eight years.

So helpful and efficient.

Our dog got cancer. Trupanion was extremely supportive and made the process so easy. With so many other things to think about, Turpanion made the funding part simple and smooth.

Saved our sanity

We have two French Bulldogs and within 3 months of each other, they each ruptured a disc and were diagnosed with IVDD. When the first happened, we immediately got pet insurance through trupanion (something we had been putting off) to protect our dogs in the future. We had the incredible misfortune of the 2nd dog suffering a disc rupture just as the first was healing. She had always been very healthy and the insurance was a precaution, we never expected to need it so soon. The emotional and financial turmoil has been awful but Trupanion has been a saving grace. Our 2nd dog was covered, had she not been we would have been almost $11,000 deep from the surgeries of both dogs. Everyone I ever have spoken to at Trupanion has been compassionate (even when I was on edge and upset) and the claim went through quickly. Our 2nd dog is only 3 and has a long road of recovery ahead, requiring many medications and a wheelchair. I am so thankful for Trupanion and have been telling anyone who will listen to me; get insurance for your pet!

Simply the best coverage you can have for your pet

I can't say anything negative. They are fair, fast, organized and nice. The only pet insurance company I would ever use.

Our Golden

If it weren't for our choice in Trupanion things would not have been so easy one month ago when our 2 year old golden almost died. It started with her swallowing a squeaker which lead to 3 major abdominal surgeries because of a huge infection. It was so easy to say "money was no object" because we knew Trupanion was behind us. Best decision we ever made. She is now healthy and 100% herself again and within days of us sending our claims we had checks in the mail. Thank you 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.
