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.

I will never not have it

My 10 year old Jack Russell had her eye removed in January due to glaucoma. I received generous reimbursement from the initial procedure as well as her follow up care. Trupanion is quick and hassle free. Often times I have an email explaining what will be covered within hours of submitting a claim and a check a few days later.

saved my dogs life

My dog came to us at 4 months old with a weak immune system. We didn't know of course, at 5 months, he needed a tooth out but we had just sgned up for Trupanion and at that time they didn't reimburse for any dental. Now, they will reimburse extractions. at 7 months he got an ear infection and started having chronic diarrhea that persisted until he was finally diagnosed with severe allergies to most proteins and patch tested which proved he had a myriad of environmental allergies; tress, molds, dust, grass, weeds...etc... also including, allergy to cats and wool. We spent the next 4 years dealing with that. Trupanion came through to pay the 90% of all medications and treatments. They don't pay Vet's fee's, which can get expensive but, when you have bills that are upward to $10,000.00 obviously, it helps!!! Unfortunately Trupanion doesn't consistently pay for Prescription Food which is very expensive and the ONLY food our dog can eat without having horrid reactions. We were stable for a few years there on our expensive sub-lingual vaccine, which Trupanion pays 90% for but then just a few months after his 4th birthday, he came down with ITP. He almost died and the thing that saved him was a $2,000 dollar blood transfusion for which Trupanion reimbursed us the 90% on! We were fortunate enough to only have to give him one BLood transfusion treatment dose, some have to get it 2 or 3 times! The bill when we took him from the Hospital a week after going in was $11,450.00, so, needless to say, Trupanion helped us save our baby's life! We're taxed as it is right now with the $3k we've spent out of pocket, but grateful we got this insurance plan because we love our dog and his ailments are still happening. I would suggest EVERYONE get insurance for their beloved pet! The way things are today with all the odd diseases and the over Vaccinating (it's probably a 99% chance the reason our dog is so sick! he was over vaccinated when he was too young!) you never know what will hit them.

Awsome service from Trupanion!

Thank goodness I had Trupanion. My Doodle swallowed a wing nut and a 1 1/2" bolt and two large pieces of plastic from the water dish attached to his kennel. An endoscopy removal kept us from having to do surgery. Trupanion checked with me after each interaction I had with them to make sure I had received satisfactory service. And we promptly received a 90% reimbursement with in a few days. I am recommending them to every dog owner I know! Thank you Trupanion!

Trupanion: The Greatest Pet Insurance

Trupanion has been a "lifesaver" for me and my two rescue Pomeranians. Claims have been handles quickly and efficiently. Any time I have talked with a representative my questions and concerns have been addressed. Thanks so much for your continued support!!!

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.
