Are you looking for a business opportunity in a thriving, mission-driven industry? Are you an entrepreneur with the drive and commitment it takes to build a business from the ground up? Consider exploringa partnership with Trupanion!

Historically, pet owners havepaid forveterinary care with discretionary income, savings, credit cards, or other loans. Medical care for a pet sometimes involves sophisticated and costly treatments that are out of reach for many owners. Those without medical coveragemay be forcedto choose less expensive, sub-standard alternatives. This puts veterinarians in the position of having todeterminetreatment options based on an owner’s finances.

Pet owners in the United States and Canada collectively own approximately 180 million dogs and cats and less than 3% have medical coverage for their pets. Hospitals see a benefit in their bottom line when they have a client base that can pay for treatments that may otherwise be out of their financial means.AndTrupanion'sdedication provides a solid foundation for the success of our Territory Partners, who reap the rewards of pets that stay enrolled through residual income.
