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.

Thankful for Trupanion

I love my pets and take full responsibility for them. In saying that, it is very difficult to say no to treatment that can help them due to illness or injury. Veterinarian treatment can be very expensive. As I did not have insurance with my border collie, whom I spent an enormous amount of money on veterinarian emergency bills. I decided to purchase pet insurance with Trupanion for my multipoo. Recently my multipoo injured her knee (cranial cruciate ligament rupture). The claims were put through to Trupanion by my vet and the veterinarian emergency hospital. There was no fuss and no drama from Trupanion and the claim was paid within days. I am so thankful for Trupanion and recommend it to anyone who has a pet. Premiums are a small payment per month but in the long run so worth it. Thank you Trupanion.

Excellent

So far each encounter (whether submitting/processing a claim or simply just asking a question) has been a very positive experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for pet insurance.

You saved my best friend

Without Trupanion, my best friend (Jack, my Yellow Lab) would be dead, it's just that simple. My Lab became anemic back in July. It was severe. Without insurance we could not have afforded the treatments and would have had to have him put down. It took more than 3 months, but Jack is back and doing GREAT! I can't tell you how much this means to us. I have owned many, many dogs & other animals in my 57 years, but I've never had a connection like I do with Jack. I/we really love this dog. If I could give Trupanion 10 Stars I would. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saving Finn

Thanks to Trupanion I was able to have a foreign body surgery to save my puppy after he ate acorns. The surgery and one week stay at a 24/7 emergency practice reached over 17k in medical expenses. Thanks to Trupanion, I didn't have to say good bye to my puppy.

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.
