Rated #1 by vets

Trupanion pet insurance is the cat’s meow according to veterinarians surveyed across the country1.

Is cat insurance worth it?

Cats are notoriously independent creatures, and sometimes their curiosity gets the best of them. It's estimated that medical expenses for cats average about $343 per year2, for things ranging from the ingestion of foreign objects and urinary tract infections to accidental poisoning and more.

When a cute little fur ball named Snickers developed severe pancreatitis just 4 months after arriving at her new home, Trupanion paid over $7K in emergency hospital bills, and Snickers got the veterinary care needed to recover.

If your cat is sick or injured, having a high-quality cat insurance policy from Trupanion can help prevent your cat’s vet bills from clawing a hole in your budget.

Common questions about cat insurance


Trupanion covers eligible veterinary care expenses, based on your policy, for your cat or kitten. You are 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:

  • Pre-existing conditions
  • Wellness and preventive care (ex. parasite control, spay/neuter, vaccinations)
  • Exam fees3
  • Any applicable taxes3

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.


State Farm agents cannot file or process a claim for you. Here are your options for filing a claim:

  • Direct payments. If your vet has Trupanion’s direct pay software, the vet may file the claim on your behalf.
  • Call a Trupanion specialist. You may also file a claim by calling 855-518-1410 to speak with a claims specialist for assistance.
  • Use the Trupanion mobile app. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
  • File a claim online. Use Trupanion’s website at https://members.trupanion.com/

After submitting a claim, inquiries should be directed to Trupanion at 855-518-1410 or through the online member portal. For questions, including claim status and payments, customers can contact Trupanion directly or log in to their Trupanion member portal.
