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.

Saved a Service Dog’s Life

Stevie, our brown loving Goldendoodle who is my 1 year old Service Dog swallowed a piece of stuffed toy on the evening of Wednesday 9/7. Around 7pm I called my Veterinarian who said to give him Hydrogen Peroxide to try and induce vomiting. I administered in a 10ml syringe orally every 15min for 1 hour as instructed. No vomiting occurred, instead he began coughing uncontrollably and was lethargic, making a wheezing sound within a few hours. The next morning he was dizzy, had mucus coming out of his nose & mouth, was gasping for air and could barely walk. I found out later that the Hydrogen Peroxide instead went into his Trachea & caused Aspiration Pneumonia. Stevie spent the day & night in VEG Hospital in Paramus with 106 fever and became worse overnight because he could no longer breathe on his own. The morning of 9/9 they transferred him through a Pet Ambulance (due to the need of an oxygen tank) to Eclipse Specialty & Emergency Care Hospital in Whippany, NJ. Here he spent 10 days in the ICU, had an endoscopy, was placed in an oxygen chamber, on a feeding tube, was oxygen dependent, lost 11lbs. and was non-responsive most days. On day five 9/13, we were told the worst news… that he wasn’t going to make it! I’m relieved to say Stevie is a strong & resilient puppy and made his way home on Sunday 9/18! He needed daily injections of Meropenem which is the strongest antibiotic given to dogs and I gave these to him at home twice a day for 2 weeks along with 2 different oral meds, steam therapy & he needed X-rays weekly for a month to check for fluid in his lungs. The bills so far between the 2 hospitals, the Vet Ambulance, home injections, medication & the X-ray checkups ran up to $32k. Thank heavens for Trupanion Pet Insurance that truely saved his life! In the frame of mind that we were in, the insurance continued to approve the bills direct from both hospitals quickly & efficiently. Trupanion has been the best decision we’ve made for our Service Dog. I spoke to 2 different Trupanion Reps in the beginning of this ordeal in a hysterical state and they both quickly put my mind at ease. We will continue to get Stevie the care he needs because he is of course family to us! He had just turned 1 on 7/25/22. From the bottom of our hearts: keep on doing this great work for our loved ones as this generosity will come back to you ten times over.

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. Ask your veterinarian about Trupanion Vet Direct Pay.
