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.

Lies…and more lies

Unfortunately we have had just horrible service from Trupanion. Not at all what they claim to be, we have been repeatedly lied to and mislead, claim denied over 3 year incident when our pet was a 6 month old puppy and ate a small amount of a chew toy and out of caution took him to the vet. No big deal till over 3 years later he had a viral infection and a small claim was denied. When I inquired they informed us that it was a previous condition related to the office visit over 3 years earlier and that any internal claims will be denied for our pets life. We contacted our Vet and she agreed to call Trupanion and confirm the 2 incidents were not related. Trupanion refused to speak with our vet and told us that their review was “smarter than our the Vet”! I said “smarter than her PHD?” When I asked for more information and a list of all non coverage due do the denial and what was not covered in the future they said I would receive a detailed list by email. When I did not receive the list after four weeks I called to inquire and spoke with 3 people before I was brow beat by a gentleman who basically mocked me after saying I would receive the excluded list they changed my email access. Still no list or clarification of coverage. I will say this, they take your money every month, raise your premium (forget about the “guaranteed premium for life”) absolutely indifferent people to deal with. My reply to “you can’t find my account” are you serious? I spent 24 minutes on the phone with a person named Faith yesterday and she had no problem finding my account! UNBELIEVABLE! 2nd reply: I was told I would receive a follow up call within 24-48 hours, no call again! # TU0002489032

Thank you, Trupanion!!

Customer service has always been the best part of Trupanion. Each of the staff is always friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. They always make us assure that our Butter is in good hands. The process of claim is simple and fast, which is one of the best reasons why we've been with Trupanion for 8 years now. Thank you, Trupanion, you are the important part that saves Butter's life and helps her stay healthy.

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.
