Pet medical insurance from Trupanion might make you howl with delight (not really) according to veterinarians surveyed across the country1.
Is dog insurance worth it?
Dogs tend to have a nose for adventure, which can lead to an unexpected trip to the vet for them and unplanned vet bills for you. It's estimated that medical expenses for dogs average about $584 per year2, for things ranging from eating chocolate or ear infections to gum disease, osteoarthritis and more. In fact, half of all puppies will experience a surprise vet visit before their first birthday, according to Trupanion’s claims data.
When a State Farm customer's 6 month old puppy named Bulldozer received treatment for a bacterial pneumonia infection, Trupanion paid over $41,000 – ultimately making it possible to save his life.
If your dog is hurt or sick, having a high-quality dog insurance policy from Trupanion can help to prevent vet bills from digging a hole in your budget.

Common questions about dog insurance
Trupanion covers eligible veterinary care expenses, based on your policy, for your dog or puppy. You’re responsible for any non-eligible expenses.
Eligible veterinary care expenses include new and unexpected illnesses and injuries, hereditary and congenital conditions, diagnostic tests, surgeries, hospital stays, medications and more.
Trupanion doesn’t cover non-eligible veterinary expenses or your portion of expenses for the veterinary care based on your specific policy.
Non-eligible expenses include:
A pre-existing condition is any illness, condition, or injury for which signs or evidence of their potential manifestation existed prior to your pet's coverage effective date. A pre-existing condition can also be an injury or recurrence of an injury that occurred prior to your pet’s coverage effective date.
No. Your coverage will not be reduced if you take your dog in for emergency care or see a specialist. You'll be reimbursed a certain percentage, based on your specific policy, for all covered claims. If you are referred to a specialist or visit an emergency hospital, you will still see reimbursement for a percentage of all eligible costs. The veterinary exam fee is your responsibility, so if you are charged a specialist fee or emergency fee, this is regarded as the same.
