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.

A Lifesaver!

Our vet recommended Trupanion years ago, saying it often makes hard decisions easier. Fast forward to last June when our dog's health declined. Ultimately, we found out it was cancer and it demanded a very expensive surgery. Had we not had Trupanion, we probably wouldn't have gone through with the surgery. The vet's sage advice to purchase Trupanion, to make the hard decisions easier had come to fruition. Our pup's life has been a roller coaster since the surgery, but thanks to the insurance (a type of "forced savings plan"), we can continue to treat her because her quality of life is good. One lifetime deductible for an illness is a godsend and submitting claims only takes a few minutes. A prompt reply and reimbursement always occurs. We are forever grateful for our decision to use Trupanion.

I have had Trupanion and only Trupanion…

I have had Trupanion and only Trupanion for all of my Jack Russells from puppyhood until the death of two of them, one in 2020, and the other in 2021. I would not have pet insurance FROM ANYONE ELSE BUT TRUPANION! My dogs became very ill toward the end of their lives, and Trupanion paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in vet bills, emergency vet bills, and medications, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. There is no way that I could provide the level of care for my dogs without Trupanion! They are a godsend! They reimburse quickly and provide detailed explanations on coverages of each claim. If you are thinking about purchasing pet insurance for your fur baby, you won’t go wrong with Trupanion!!!!!! THANK YOU TRUPANION ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Great insurance for our dog

When we adopted our dog Gabby five and a half years ago, our Vet strongly recommended getting this insurance and We are very glad he did. The policy we have is very cost effective and does not cover basic services such as office visits etc but did cover x-rays for her hip dysplasia, anti inflammatory meds, cruciate ligament surgery and rehab therapy to improve her hip function. We are very pleased with this policy and thier customer service. Claims are processed quickly.

The Best Insurance.

Trupanion is the best insurance I have ever purchased. I always get paid within a day or two. I always recommend it to all my friends and family.

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.
