Frequently asked questions

When your dog needs unexpected veterinary care, the costs can add up fast. A good dog insurance plan helps cover the costs so you can say “yes” to the treatment your pet needs without worrying about finances.

In the traditional dog insurance model, you pay the upfront costs of care on the day of treatment, then make a claim and wait for reimbursement. At Trupanion, we’re changing this model by being able to pay veterinarians directly on the day of treatment. This means less waiting and less financial worry for you, allowing you to spend more time focused on your dog’s health and recovery.

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and their health insurance coverage is no different. Trupanion dog insurance prices can vary greatly between pets and are primarily based on the following factors:
  • Age
  • Breed
  • Location
  • Gender

At Trupanion, we believe that all dogs — big or little, purebred or mixed — deserve access to the veterinary care they need. This is why we do not impose breed restrictions and cover all dog breeds.

The one exception to this is in our coverage for dog breeders. We still cover all breeds, but coverage for certain conditions may be limited for specific breeds.

Yes! We cover all kinds of dogs, including service dogs.

We do not cover spaying or neutering for dogs for a specific reason. Spaying and neutering are both considered voluntary procedures as well as something you can plan and budget for. We’re here so your dog’s new, unexpected veterinary costs aren’t a financial burden or obstacle to your pet receiving the care they need. By not covering expected or unnecessary treatments, we can ensure that you get the most value out of your dog health insurance plan.
