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.

Absolute delight

Jemma May is my 10th dog. She is the first pet who has had Pet insurance and I believed her to be the healthiest of any dog, little Jemma May, like me, is getting old. So I decided to buy the insurance plan. BEST THINK I COULD HAVE DONE FOR HER. I am absolutely delighted by how the clinic staff deal with everything and to the quick reply from Trumpania office staff.

Grateful for Trupanion!

I have had Trupanion insurance for almost 10 years now. They have never let me down! We ended up with a dog who has a significant amount of health problems, from allergies to stomach sensitivities and everything in between. Of course, we couldn't have possibly predicted this when we got the insurance as a puppy and that's an important consideration. We had no way of knowing she would have so many needs, specialists, and procedures, but Trupanion has honored their policies every step of way. She just had a major surgery and related procedures that were completely unexpected. Shortly after, Trupanion sent notice that all of it was eligible and being covered. Because of Trupanion and all the care we are able to provide, Sparkle presents as a very happy, healthy dog! We are very grateful for all of their support!

They came through!

Charlie required major surgery (TPLO) which costs several thousand dollars. Truepanion came through. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

So Glad I Chose Trupanion

For my prior pet, I had a different pet insurance carrier and they were OK, but payouts were small, slow and cumbersome to file. I asked the vet tech caring for my dog what insurance she recommended; she was very enthusiastic about Trupanion.That pet died some years ago, and when I got a new dog, I signed up for Trupanion. At the time, I thought they were a bit expensive and last year, I even considered dropping their insurance, as the premium increases a little yearly. Thank goodness I didn't! I took my dog to the vet earlier this year for tummy issues and it turned out it was Irritable Bowel Disease. He had to be referred to an internist, and testing was prolonged and very expensive. I would have had to go into debt to pay for it all, but Trupanion didn't just step up to the plate, they made the claims process so easy, and they reimbursed directly to my checking account, usually within just a few days of each claim. The contrast with my prior pet insurance was pretty dramatic. After this experience, I'm a Trupanion customer for life!

Recommendation

SO very happy I chose Trupanion. With all the issues my little guys has had, they have been a Godsend!!

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.
