“He was so tiny and helpless, and this was truly the most traumatic thing I could imagine. Harold's animal hospital went directly through Trupanion, so I never saw a bill while this was all going on.”

When it comes to your pet’s wellness care, we don't believe that we should charge you extra for something that you can expect. Since you know your pet needs routine veterinary care, it’s something you can actually budget for. And when you can budget for wellness care costs, it doesn’t make sense to pay a middle man more to give that same benefit back to you. Trupanion was founded to help pets get the health care they need when surprise illnesses and injuries occur, not to help with regular costs you can predict.
Have more questions about how Trupanion works and what to expect with your plan? Feel free to reach out to us at any time. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to answer any and all questions.
If your pet becomes ill or injured, relying on savings or emergency funds to pay for their veterinary care expenses is a risky option. After all, it can be difficult to know upfront exactly how much their treatment will cost or if there will be complications that require additional care. Having quality pet insurance in place enables you to protect both your pet and your budget by helping pay for these new and unexpected veterinary care.
For many, that peace of mind alone is what makes pet insurance very worth it.
