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.

We never thought about pet insurance…

We never thought about pet insurance until our vet suggested looking into it. After taking a look at several companies we decided on Trupanion for our labradoodles. You never want to think your beloved pet might have a serious injury or illness, but it happens and it happened to us. We are so thankful for the seamless process we encountered working with Trupanion. The stress of having a seriously ill pet is extremely difficult--having pet insurance alleviated some of these concerns. Trupanion was truly amazing to work with!

Grateful for Trupanion!

Trupanion has been a God send to our beloved Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren needed surgery for his back right leg and then he was going to need physical therapy 2x a week for 6 weeks and all of this was very costly. Trupanion's insurance has become invaluable to us with all the costs the surgery and PT was for Kylo! Trupanion has Angels working for them and made our life less stressful! We are so grateful to Trupanion! I am so happy I made the decision to by your insurance for our dogs because without we would be out about $7,000.00 or more. Again, we say thank you for the bottom of our hearts. Kylo Ren is doing so well, thanks to the proper care and to Trupanion's insurance. Suzanne

They came through when I needed them…

They came through when I needed them most. They were able to assist me with a major surgery that truly saved my dog Tokyo's life. It was very helpful to have my surgeon tell me that Trupanion was one of his preferred companies to work with. It allowed us to focus on our dog instead of insurance issues at an intense and critical time. No one wants the fate of their family member dictated by money. They worked for me.

OMG if it wasn't for Trupanion my dog…

OMG if it wasn't for Trupanion my dog wouldn't be alive. They've made it possible for her to have a successful cancer surgery (she's only 6 and a chihuahua) and treatments. Without them I simply couldn't afford to pay for everything. I submit my claim on Tuesday (as that's when she sees her doctor) and by Friday they've deposited the funds into my account. It has been a Godsend to have them. I am so glad I signed up when she was a puppy. I literally tell everyone I know that if they are getting a puppy to sign up for 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.
