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.

Thank-you Trupanion. We're so glad to have this Lifetime Insurance for our dog And future pets.

First of all, I had a mobile Veterinarian come to my home for an initial visit with my miniature poodle. It was a great experience. When she was at the end of her visit and exam and a couple of small but needed procedures, she gave me a Trupanion page that told about the Trupanion services. It had a code number on it, and the vet explained how much this insurance had helped some of her patient's "parents" by saving them a tremendous amount of $ through using this plan for their unexpected treatments as well as hospitalization. Then the Vet said that since she had provided treatment for my dog, I could get a free month if I signed up for the insurance in the next 24 hours. That perked my interest, because my dog is 7 years old, and the Vet told me of 3 major problems that miniature poodles are susceptible of getting. She also said she trusts Trupanion's Insurance company completely, as it is the 2nd best rated Pet insurance in the USA. That made me curious, and I looked up more info on the internet. Next, after talking with my husband about looking into this plan for our sweet little dog. I called the Trupanion Chat line and very soon was talking with Katherine on the Chat line. I had many questions and concerns, but Katherine is clearly an expert in this field. No question was too difficult for her. I felt very comfortable and interested in her knowledge and answers. She helped me through it all, and told me to call her or if I had any concerns or questions. Once my husband and I realized this would be a great worry free plan for our dog, Kathleen offered to get us signed up with this insurance plan. We definitely are newbee's with having pet insurance, but we feel thankful and relieved to have it available for our sweet dog for the rest of her life And for any other pets we might aquire.

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

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.
