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.

Trapanion save my dog's life!

My boxer Louie became seriously sick last summer due to a tick bite. He was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The disease had caused hid liver and kidneys to begin to shut down. I had to bring him to a specialty clinic to be treated. There he remained in the Intensive Care Unit for 16 days receiving multiple types of treatment. While the prognosis didn't look good for a while, they tried everything to help him recover. Some of these treatments were very expensive! Without having Trupanion pet insurance, I would not have ever been able to give Louie the treatments he needed to survive. Because of trupanion comma Louis is close to 100% recovery. He is still being treated The expenses were astronomical. Trupanion had lived up to their word and covered everything they say that they do. I would recommend this insurance to anyone and everyone! It is the smartest decision I ever made!

They say what they'll do and they do what they say

Very happy we got Trupanion back when we got our puppy Abby three years ago! We got it for her and our older dog Cody too. It has been such a comfort knowing we have it and everything is exactly as is represented. Both of our dogs have had on-going medical issues and Trupanion has not shied away from paying the bills. We met our deductible on both illnesses and they pay 90% of the covered expenses everytime. It's easy and I will never have dogs again without it.

Excellent

My beloved senior Labradoodle ruptured both ACLs simultaneously and it was a huge relief knowing Trupanion would handle our claims quickly and fairly. Having the assurance of knowing her specialty surgery and physical therapy for recovery was covered allowed us to concentrate solely on her needs and not worry about paying the associated costs. Trupanion payed the claims promptly and without question. Our girl is fully recovered and walks 2 miles per day. Thank you Trupanion for helping us help her!

Remarkable service!

I took Jake to the vet, he had been acting "just not himself" and I was concerned. Which sounds kind of lame now that I think about it, but my vet examined him, took some blood for testing, asked a lot of questions. His bloodwork showed low thyroid and she wanted to send it out to another lab for further testing. I said of course!Luckily, I had Trupanion insurance on Jake. My vet completed the form and faxed it in. I had an e-mail from Trupanion within two days, and a reimbursement check within 10 days. And a nice thank-you from Trupanion for taking care of Jake! I am so impressed with the quality of this insurance and highly recommend it to everyone!

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.
