Where Trupanion shines is in the value you get for your pet’s lifetime coverage and the flexibility that the policy offers. Because the policy is month to month, you can adjust coverage without having to wait until your annual renewal or worrying about issues becoming pre-existing. Plus, Trupanion prides itself on offering extremely high value to pet owners. That’s why they always offer 90% coverage and unlimited payouts on eligible conditions. If you’re looking for a premium policy for your best friend, look into a Trupanion policy.

Trupanion has a wide range of deductibles to choose from, including the option not to have a deductible at all. This means a pet owner can choose from hundreds of price options to pick what works for their budget.
Trupanion’s deductibles are per condition instead of per year. The advantage with a per condition lifetime deductible is that if an incident is chronic and continues for more than a year, you’ll only have to pay the deductible for that issue once. Payouts are 90% of actual veterinarian costs, after the deductible as long as they are eligible. There are no per-incident or lifetime caps.
Trupanion has unlimited payout limits for all eligible conditions. Also, unlike many of its competitors, Trupanion has is no waiting period and no age restrictions for pets with hip dysplasia.
The cost of a Trupanion policy depends on your pet’s age, breed, species, gender and zip code.
The cost of insuring a 2-year-old mixed breed cat with a $300 deductible with a Chicago zip code of 60607 is $34.67. In some states, there is an enrollment fee. Trupanion can be on the more expensive side, though their coverage is extremely comprehensive, which can make it well worth the additional cost.
