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.

Fast and efficient

I haven’t had to submit many claims thank goodness but anytime that I have it has always been extremely fast as to whether it’s approved or not and I have never had an issue where it has not been approved. Thanks for your help in otherwise stressful time

Thank you

I have nothing bad to say about Trupanion. My German shepherd Sascha got sick early on with a lifelong pancreatic condition. After all of these years, they have never fought me or tried to deny a single claim. With as expensive as her medication is, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have saved her life. They have paid us more than we have them since this happened and yet not a single incident of pushback. If you want the best for your pet, you really need to trust Trupanion. They are there for you through the good and bad. Thanks!

Insurance that cares & pays... no yearly deductibles!!!!!

Trupanion stood by me when I lost my first Boxer 3 years ago I don't know what I would've done without them by my side. I've referred countless people even strangers to Trupanion and I know of some that signed on and have been just as happy as myself. Not too long ago. There was a story on the today show that was a terrible miss representation of Trupanion. The person they interviewed spoke of and experience with Trupanion that's totally foreign to myself and others that I have recommended to Trupanion. It really upset me because I know how people believe things I see on TV and I just hope and pray that people did their homework before son gone with another insurance company for their pet, if there's one thing that I would change about Trupanion and is the only thing that I would change it's that if they had a credit card top payment for upfront bill to pay the veterinarian so I didn't have to come up with money on the spot I know only one other pet insurance that does that there are other rates are much higher though, because you pay a yearly deductible instead of a per illness deductible for the lifetime of your pet sometimes it is hard to come up with thousands of dollars but I would never stray from Trupanion. In closing I will just say everyone I've ever spoke to that represents Trupanion on the phone has been so kind so patient and always ask about my pet and how he's doing. That's the one I lost and my current boxer I love Trupanion. 🩷

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.
