Why Choose Trupanion
What does quality pet insurance cover?
Your pet may know how to “speak,” but they can’t always tell you when they’re not feeling well. When your pet is sick or injured, you want to get them the best care available without having to worry about cost. Other insurers can have limits and/or sub limits that can be reached quickly in times of need, leaving you out of pocket or unable to continue treatment right when you need to most.
We keep paying for all covered conditions, no matter the cost. This includes hospital stays, diagnostic tests, medications, surgeries, and other treatments that arise when your furry family member is sick or hurt. Cover kicks in after you meet your excess (if you’ve chosen one).

When should I get pet insurance?
The best time to think about insurance for your dog or cat is when they’re young and healthy (puppy or kitten). Every pet is prone to certain types of illnesses and injuries in each stage of life, and insurance helps you be prepared every step of the way.
TIP: No pet insurance provider in Australia covers pre-existing conditions. Insuring your pet when they’re young or when you first bring them home helps you get the most out of your cover because they’re less likely to have pre-existing conditions.
