What does a Trupanion pet insurance policy cover?
From nose to tail, we’ve got your pet is covered:
- Hereditary conditions your breed is prone to inheriting
- Unidentified issues, even if your pet doesn't have an official diagnosis
- Congenital conditions your pet developed before birth
Your pet deserves comprehensive care
Most cats and dogs will need veterinary attention at some point in their life, and there’s no knowing how serious things could be or how much it could cost. This is where Trupanion pet health insurance can make a significant difference.
Trupanion coverage is robust and tailored to have your pet’s back for all new and unexpected injuries and illnesses. Our coverage is based on the actual prices veterinarians charge for care — from diagnostic testing and medications to hospitalizations and everything in between. We never impose payout limits, so you can rest assured your pet has access to the best veterinary treatment when they need it most.

What about routine wellness care costs?
When it comes to wellness care, we don't feel we should charge you extra for something that you can expect. After all, good pet insurance coverage is all about making sure you can handle unexpected veterinary costs as they arise. Accidents and surprise illnesses become costly very fast, and without the right coverage, pet parents may find themselves having to choose between their pet’s health and staying afloat financially.
So, why pay a middle man to handle your pet’s regular wellness costs when they are something you actually can plan and budget for? This is why we at Trupanion have made a deliberate choice not to cover wellness and preventive care or exam fees. By not doing so, we can ensure you get the most value out of your coverage.
