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.

Best Pet Insurance

My thank you would not be enough for what Trupanion has done for my dog, Puffy. After his two surgeries, Puffy has diabetics which require medication for the rest of his life. I would not be able to take good care of him without Trupanion. It helps me financially. Never delay on the claims and never give me any hard time whenever Puffy needs care. Whenever, people asked me which Pet insurance they should have, I will always recommend this insurance. You will be very please knowing that your dog(s) is/are in good hand.

Peace of Mind When On the Other Side of the Globe

Go figure - we leave for a trip to a remote area with absolutely no internet access or cell reception, and our little guy gets bitten at daycare. We get an email from the daycare, they took care of everything on our behalf (love those guys), and in the meantime TruPanion got in there to do their part. By the time we got back to civilization, the claim was completed, little buddy was all good, and the portion to be paid to us was waiting in our mailbox. Quick, efficient, excellent communication, and a huge relief to have a wonderful paper trail when we got home. I can't speak highly enough of how well they handled everything, especially when we were completely unreachable.

Best pet insurance ever!

Try to start your dog as a puppy. If a large dog, get the hip rider. I am so grateful I did with my rescue dog. Turns out she had a birth defect on her spine. She needed a hip replacement by 18 mo. It was covered. Had it not been, I'm afraid we'd have had to put her down because the expense is huge. Her monthly supplements are covered too. When I fax my bill to them on a Friday, I am usually paid by Monday through direct deposit. It is just fabulous!! Never had a complaint and I have 3 dogs on Trupanion. I recommend them to everyone.

Unbelievably Fast!

I am astonished at the speed my claims for Meowstro was processed. Both my feline Catpanions are enrolled in Trupanion. This gives me incredible peace of mind. Thank you Trupanion for taking care of Meowstro.

Thank you so much

Thank you for being so easy to work with. This was a difficult experience and knowing you had us covered really meant a lot. I just couldn't believe it could be this easy to coordinate and it helped me expend more energy towards making the right medical decisions. I have recommended you to everyone that I know and will continue to do so. Thank you.

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.
