ASPCA Pet Health Insurance vs. Trupanion

With Trupanion’s plan, exam fees are not covered, even if the condition is otherwise eligible for coverage. Trupanion also does not offer wellness coverage. With our Complete CoverageSM, exam fees—including specialist and emergency exams—are covered. We also offer three preventive care coverage options to help you provide your pet’s annual exams, vaccines and flea/tick medication.
