“Lexi” Pushes Trupanion Past $3 Billion, Helping over 2.4 Million Pets and Counting
22 November 2024 - 12:00AM
Pet medical insurance provider Trupanion would like to thank a
9-year-old Maltipoo from Coral Springs, Florida named Lexi for
helping the Seattle based company achieve a major milestone.
Trupanion (Nasdaq: TRUP) has now paid over $3 billion in medical
bills to veterinarians and pet parents. The massive number shows
just how passionate Trupanion is about protecting pets and
providing pet parents worldwide with financial peace of mind.
“Trupanion exists to help pet parents care for their pet without
having to worry about the cost of care. To cross $3 billion in paid
claims is a huge acknowledgment of the problem we are solving and
underscores the growing importance of pet medical insurance. It
took us 20 years to cross $1 billion in veterinary claims. Today,
just four years later, we crossed $3 billion. It’s an achievement
that highlights our rapid growth as a company but more than that,
it’s a testament to the positive impact we’ve had in the lives of
pets and pet parents,” said Trupanion CEO and President Margi
Tooth.
Since its founding in 2000, Trupanion has helped over 2.4
million cats and dogs receive essential veterinary care.
Lexi is just one of those pets. Now 9-years-old, Lexi has been
with Trupanion since she was a puppy. Lexi pushed Trupanion over
the $3 billion mark when she received her regular medication for
allergies.
“We love Trupanion. Lexi has been getting care for nine years
and everyone has been so helpful,” said Lexi’s pet parent Seth.

Over the last two decades Trupanion has processed more than 11.1
