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.

Russell Dodici LOVES Trupanion

Our bulldog, Russell Dodici Bailey, has been covered by Trupanion since his very first vet appointment. And Trupanion has been with him every step of the way since then. When he had breathing issues and had to have palate surgery, Trupanion stood beside us. When he ate headphones and foam rubber, resulting in two nights in the ER, Trupanion stayed by our sides again. Most recently, recurring eye ulcers required entropian eyelid surgery, and yes - Trupanion was there for us again. Russell doesn't know them by name, but he knows them by the quality of life he has. And WE certainly know them by name. Trupanion has been at our side every day, and we will be their happy customers forever.

Excellent Company

I went back and forth whether or not pet insurance was worth the premiums. I had thought about canceling and decided to keep it. Am I ever glad that I made that decision. My cat of 5 years fainted and ended up going into congestive heart failure and then kidney failure. Without this insurance, my cat would not be alive today. I could never have imagined this happening nor would I have had the money to pay a week of intensive care hospitalization and expensive tests. He will need medication for the remainder of his life which because of this insurance will be longer than it would have been without it. His life will not be long, but he will get every minute of it that I can give him. Trupanion has been excellent in processing every claim and I highly recommend them. Even the vets said that they thought this is a great insurance to have. I highly recommend them.

Prompt Response--- Caring Attention

When my beautiful little cat,Sunni-Girl was diagnosed with multiple allergies, Trupanion promptly OK'd coverage of long term treatment. It was such a relief! It's been a tough time but Trupanion has been with us all the way. Sunni-Girl continues to hold her own and with time we will hopefully see much more improvement! Thank You Trupanion!

Outstanding Customer Service and a pleasure to be apart of the family.

Trupanion came to the rescue when my german shepherd Nico suffered from Splenic Torsion. It was such a scary and stressful time to see your dog in pain, but also knowing that the vet bill will come can also add to that. Trupanion through the whole process kept keeping me updated, called to see how everything was going, and even called my vet 2 or 3 times to receive his information ( my vet didn't do a great job in faxing his history ). I am very proud to say that I am apart of the Trupanion Family and have highly recommended them to many other dog owners who saw what my pup went through. It's definitely great knowing that they have your back.

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.
