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.

Oncology West Vet

Hi, My pet is a cancer survivor thanks to Trupanion and West Veternarian. He had a miraculous surgery (Dr. Szentimrey), chemothrapy and is now on oral drugs. The staff at West Vet are fantastic in the oncology unit (Dr. G. Maudlin) and the techs (Jenn and others). And Trupanion have been absolutely true to their word. No limit on claims, deductible once, 90% (except taxes and consultations). They've proceesed claims with West Veternarin on the same day and provided us with clarification and information right away.

Quick and efficient

My vet filled out the claim and faxed it. I received a email from Trumpanion the following day with a breakdown of the claim. Received the check 2 days later.

10/10 Outstanding

Our 6 1/2 year old mixed breed Abbey, fractured her left rear leg and dislocated her toes chasing after a squirrel. She now has a metal plate and a half dozen small screws in the foot area. When one signs up for the program one hopes that the insurance and service is as advertised. It was that and more with Trupanion. All claims have been paid promptly making the financial burden a little less worrisome. Abbey is on the road to recovery but not quite there yet. I am confident that Trupanion will be there should she need more help.

Helpful and Compassionate

I love Trupanion. I have been with them for about three years now and they have been wonderful when I have needed them. My little dog does not get sick too often (thank the Lord) but when she has gotten sick, they have been so helpful immediately. She had an accident and got all four metacarpal bones in her right front paw broken. What a relief Trupanion's assistance has been. I have had to send in two claims for this so far and both times they have processed and mailed me a check within just a few hours of my submitting it to them. They are absolutely wonderful and so very compassionate with my feelings when Hannah first got hurt and all through this rough time. Thank you Trupanion for being there. Having you as my insurance company has really eased my mind of the financial burdens I have now with the vet bills adding up. Just love ya!!!

Without Trupanion, my doodle's Addison Disease wou

My two-year old Fletcher would not have received Emergency Care when Addison Disease threatened his early life last winter. If Trupanion had not come forward as the savior, my beloved goldendoodle might not have survived and thrived.

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.
