How does TrustedPals Pet Insurance work?
TrustedPals Pet Insurance keeps things simple by offering two plans, one for dogs and one for cats. Each plan provides the same coverage, but you can customize the annual benefit amount.
With TrustedPals insurance, you pay a monthly or annual fee for coverage. When your pet is ill or injured, you take them to your preferred veterinarian and send the bill to TrustedPals for reimbursement. You’re responsible for a copay and deductible, and TrustedPals pays the rest.
TrustedPals Pet Insurance Coverage
TrustedPals' policies cover:
- Sick/hurt pet vet visits and treatments
- Surgery
- Prescription medications
- Prescription food and supplements
TrustedPals does not cover:
- Preexisting conditions
- Nonprescription treatments, food and supplements
- Boarding

Hip dysplasia and cruciate ligament injuries are not covered for the first 12 months of your policy, but these conditions are covered after your first full year of coverage.
Preventative care, including wellness exams, nail trims and heartworm protection, is not covered unless you opt for the company’s add-on wellness plan.
TrustedPals Pet Insurance cost
TrustedPals' prices vary based on your chosen annual benefit, copay and deductible. There’s a simple quote tool on the company’s website that lets you adjust your plan until you’re satisfied with the quote.
We ran through a sample quote for a 3-year-old golden retriever mix. The website’s settings for our quote defaulted to a $250 deductible and 20% copay. You can then select an annual benefit amount to get your monthly premium cost. Here were the options:
TrustedPals’ monthly cost for a 3-year-old golden retriever mix
Annual benefit | Monthly cost |
---|---|
$4,000 | $32 |
$8,000 | $35 |
$15,000 | $39 |
Unlimited | $46 |
When we adjusted our sample dog’s age from 3 to 12, the price went up significantly. With the same $250 deductible and 20% copay, we received these quotes:
TrustedPals’ monthly cost for a 12-year-old golden retriever mix
Annual benefit | Monthly cost |
---|---|
$4,000 | $89 |
$8,000 | $99 |
$15,000 | $109 |
Unlimited | $129 |
You can opt to pay monthly or annually, but we saw no discount for annual payments. Service dogs get a 5% discount on their premium.

Is TrustedPals Pet Insurance worth it?
TrustedPals Pet Insurance has a relatively low monthly fee for younger pets, and having an insurance plan can easily pay for itself with one or two large vet bills.

We recommend getting a quote from TrustedPals and comparing it to one or two competitors to make an informed decision.
