Keeping coverage fair for Maryland pets

Whether you’re Western, Capital, Central, Southern, or the Eastern Shore, finding the best pet insurance in Maryland can be tricky. You may feel drawn to providers with supremely low rates, but be careful of this bait-and-switch. Cheap monthly prices will likely increase and can come with multiple catches.

Whether you’re coastal or mountain— at Trupanion, your pet always comes first.

Will my coverage reduce over my pet's lifetime?

No! Unlike other providers, we don’t decrease your coverage year-to-year, so you can count on top-tier protection for the life of your pet.

Will my price increase simply because my pet gets older?

No! Trupanion is one of the only pet health insurance providers (in the country, not just Maryland) that does not practice birthday pricing. Your cost can still change over time due to things like inflation and advances in veterinary care, but we will never increase it simply because your pet gets older.

Will I pay more after using my coverage?

As you may have guessed, the answer to this is “no!” as well. You'll never pay more just for using your coverage, and we encourage you to utilize your policy as often as needed. Your Trupanion policy is designed to cover new, unexpected illnesses and injuries for the life of your pet.

Love without limits in the Old Line State
