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.

Having Trupanion is a no brainer for us.

I have two large four year old Black & Tan Coonhounds covered by Trupaniun. It's money very well spent. Most ailments are covered, claims are easy to file and payment is quickly deposited directly into my checking.

I had VIP Ins.

I had VIP Ins. before getting Trupanion. My other dog Pixie was very healthy and ever had anything wrong with her health wise until she was 12 1/2. It just came out of blue and she got pancreatitis on a Friday and she had to be put down because she had a rare condition called calcified gall bladder which discovered by specialist vet on Monday. I called VIP and they could not tell me what and if they would pay for anything They said they could not tell until the bill came in. This is why I got the insurance to help out in emergency situation. The bill ending up being about $3500 and I got Care Credit to help me pay for it. VIP send me a refund for around $1700. I was so stressed. it was Heart breaking to put her to sleep on Wed. She was sedated but the vet said she was in awful pain. She still waged her tail when she saw my husband and I before we put her to sleep. Dogs are so amazing The vet works at UC Davis and was working on drugs to help dogs who get a calcified gall bladder and was working on trying to find out why. He said it was rare in small dogs mainly in larger dogs. Pixie was a ShihTzu like Mia. Broke our hearts. Our family Vet, Dr. Heart, Pixie also went to regularly. She was aware of my story with Pixie since she took care of Pixie all her life and referred her to the specialist at the end. She said I should look into Trupanion. I did and because of Dr. Heart at Reagor Pest Hospital in Carmichael, CA I got your insurance. I feel comforted to know that is something happens to Mia I pay 10% of the total bill and my copay. Hopefully Mia will not have to go thru anything like Pixie did and will continue to have a happy, healthy life. Thanks for being there for us. It's comforting to know you are there if we ever need you. Lynda Beaver, Sacramento, CA

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.
