Paying for life-saving care is what we’re here for

Using pet insurance shouldn't cost you more. Unlike other pet insurance plans, we won’t hike your premiums just because you’ve used your coverage.

How Trupanion claims work

When your pet needs care, you just pay what you owe and we'll cover the rest. Remember, there’s no limit to how much we’ll pay out over the lifetime of your pet.
