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.

YOU SAVED BELLA'S LIFE

There are no words, but to say THANK YOU TRUPANION! YOU and Bella's Doctors are my hero's. I had purchased Bella's policy 7 years ago after, my 7-month-old Golden Retriever tore her knee and needed TPLO surgery. I sat devested in the Animal Hospital stressed about the bill. It came to over $5000.00. There was a brochure in the office for Trupanion. It was a sign. Literally and Figuratively. That day I signed up. I never regretted the about I spent on the policy. My sweet angel's health was everything. You should allow money to get in between you and saving your pet. Bella for the most part has been very healthy. Never had to use the policy much other than small things, until that one day so unexpected I am truly blessed I had the policy. Bella had to have emergency surgery for a mass that ruptured on her spleen. She was bleeding internally and needed life-saving measures to be done. Trupanion came to my aide. The ADMIN at the hospital got authorization for the surgery and I never had to worry about coming up with the money first. My Sweet ANGEL is alive today because of Trupanion. Her bill was over $21,000.00. They paid all but $1600.00. GOD BLESS. I am a walking billboard for this company. If you don't have TRUPANION, GET IT NOW.

The claim took over two weeks I'm not sure where the problem was with the vet clinic or Trupanion but I had to get involved and get the records myself to send for review I don't feel this should have been my responsibility based on the amount I pay

Trupanion representatives care

Trupanion representatives were very helpful, efficient & kind during a very emotionally difficult time with our dog. We really appreciated being able to speak to a real person at any time, day or night.

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.
