Real stories, real savings
We helped all these dogs get the best care and saved their pet parents thousands in the process.
The future of claims is here
At Trupanion, we’re redesigning the pet insurance claims process for the 21st century. Instead of you paying the bill and waiting for reimbursement, we can pay vets directly (in seconds!) at checkout.
VetDirect Pay™ explained
We’re the world’s first and only pet insurance provider to pay vets at checkout. And we do it in seconds.
No waiting.
No hassle.
No worries.
Remove the financial concerns of visiting the vet with over 60% of direct payments made within 60 seconds.
VetDirect Pay™
What if my vet doesn’t accept VetDirect Pay™?
It's okay if your vet isn't set up for direct pay! Just submit your invoice, and we'll reimburse you as quickly as possible — over 70% of claims are paid within 24 hours.
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.
