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.

This is the best insurance ever!

Without this insurance I would not be able to afford the medical upkeep of my beloved pet. He is a English tri colored coonhound with a medical issue of epilepsy. He seemed very healthy but boom, he started having seizures and after complete testing this what was discovered. Diagnosis and treatment can be quite expensive but trupanion gladly lives up to their policy with reimbursement rapidly

Always A Trupanion Client

We adopted our fur baby, Katie on Valentines of 2011 and since then she has incontinence. Unfortunately in the past year or so, she has been diagnosed with Degenerative Joint Disease. Due to her pain, she is taking a pain pill. Our Katie takes Pronin, Vetprofen and Gabapentin on a daily basis. Trupanion has, in a timely manner, processed her claims. We have recently met our deductibles for 2 of her medications. Thank you, Trupanion for having an excellent staff and insurance coverage for Katie.

Best decision I have ever made

We were playing in the creek and Alex decided to pick up a rock. When he picked up the rock he split his front tooth down to the root. Our vet referred us to the dog dentist, who was amazing and fixed everything. Trupanion covered almost all of it and explained what they did and did not cover. I am now adding my other dog to trupanion because I trust and value their service.I work at a dog daycare and tell all of the clients how great and wonderful they are. No matter what happens, I feel comfortable knowing we have Trupanion.

Great Insurance!!

I have injury and illness insurance and am glad I invested insurance. My new puppy had ear infections and I got the Trupanion 30 day free trial. They paid for her vet bill even though I hadn't given them a penny. Over 100.00. I finally had to have her allergy tested to see what was causing the recurrent ear infections. Guess what it was milk. I was keeping her away from chicken and grain and it wasn't those things at all. Now I know what it is and can keep her health. It cost $500.00 for the testing and Trupanion paid of $450.00 of that. My dog is 6 lbs. and my husband is over 250lbs, I am always afraid she might get hurt but if she does I know it won't break the bank. The extra 5.00 rider is great too so I can get her aqua or physical or behavioral therapy if she needs it for a very low cost. Pet insurance is great and Trupanion is really a great investment!!

They've a great reputation and it's well deserve

My sweet cat has been seriously sick and required a long hospitalization. Because of the care he received he has made a miraculous recovery. If I did not have Trupanion I would not have been able to entertain a thought about treating him. I've been impressed by how the front staff - the billing people who deal with insurance companies all the time- at each doctor we have visited have sung Trupanions praises. And Trupanion has come through for me and my cat, not flinching at the costs which were quite high.I enthusiastically recommend them.

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.
