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.

This is by far the best thing anyone can do for their pet and themselves.I picked up a brochure at my Vets office after getting a staggering bill for the removal of a tooth and a cleaning. I told myself I did not want this to happen again so I bought the insurance. Unfortunately some months later Bandit was found to have cancer in her bladder. Trupanion has been superb in handling all her insurance needs. Letting us concentrate on getting her help for a quality of life for her remaining days.
We even received a call from Michelle, asking how she was doing and were assured that all her Chemo treatments would be taken care of. It is the only time I have ever heard of an insurance carrier call with genuine concern for a client.
Thank You Trupanion

Woof!
I had been considering Trupanion for months but, it got put on the back burner. Until I needed to take my puppy to the vet and the first thing they asked was if I had insurance. $300 later, I was wishing I did have it!
I did some research, made Trupanion a friend on Facebook and found a link through Dogster where I could get my first 2 months for free. Enough said....I signed up!
I hope I don't need the insurance but, since my puppy just turned 1 year old, I am thinking it will be great to have the coverage for many years to come.

Worst ever,
Purchased puppy, came with 1 month insurance which needed to be applied for within 48 hours, this was done. At vet visit for puppy shots, diagnosed with kennel cough, which eventually evolved into pneumonia 4 days later. Insurance claims were rejected, "preexisting condition". All we got was rhetoric when asking to reconsider. Would not recommend this to anyone.

We have been having quite the run with this 11 month old puppy...With tests, food changes, meds and now surgury....But throughout it all Trupanion has been there and at least that's one less thing to worry about is not being able to afford her treatment...Thanks Trupanion

Very Highly Recommended!
My Bernese Mountain Dog was getting older, and I had been thinking about pet insurance for awhile. I did some research, and settled on Trupanion for a number of reasons - there were no disease caps (just a lifetime cap of $20,000, which they've apparently now gotten rid of), the reimbursement was 90% compared to the 70 or 80% of other plans, and the premiums were the same or even less than other plans for better coverage.
I signed up with Trupanion in January. In February, I took my dog in for some vomiting after eating an old bone, and in March for his annual physical. In April I took him back for a dental cleaning, and they noticed some swelling on his toe. Some testing revealed a cancerous mast cell tumor. After consulting with oncologists at a major veterinary hospital in Boston, he had surgery to amputate the toe.
I was worried that Trupanion would call this a pre-existing condition, and steeled myself for having my claim rejected, knowing at least how human health insurance companies work. But I went ahead anyway - filled out the one-page form, had my vet sign, got a copy of his records since it was my first claim, and attached the invoices and sent it off - the process was very easy. A week later, the claim was approved and reimbursement sent without any argument.
Unfortunately, the biopsy and other testing after the surgery revealed some cancer cells on the two adjacent toes, so he had a three-week course of radiation, which was hugely expensive.
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. Ask your veterinarian about Trupanion Vet Direct Pay.
