Trupanion pets lead longer happier lives.1 Pets insured with Trupanion lived longer than pets without Trupanion because pet parents didn’t have to worry about the cost of the care their pet needed. Depending on the plan Trupanion covers up to 90% of eligible expenses, has unlimited payouts-always, and can pay your vet bill, within seconds, at time of checkout, so all you pay is your portion (anything not covered by Trupanion). They have transformed the way pet insurance handles claims by eliminating the reimbursement process. Trupanion was founded in Canada and provides bets-in-class coverage and is dedicated to helping pets we love get the care they need. They’ve been around for more than 20 years, making them experts and setting standards for the industry. One perk of this, and what they pride themselves on, is the amount they pay out to pet owners for each claim. Paying out more on the dollar than any other pet insurance provider. To date they have paid out $2 Billion in claims and have insured nearly 1 million pets. To put it simply, there is a reason why 98.7% of Trupanion members stay enrolled every month. 1Based on a December, 2020 Trupanion study analyzing third party hospital claims data comparing pets insured with a Trupanion policy to pets without a Trupanion policy. *Terms and conditions apply.

Consider before using this company

I signed up when my puppy was 7 months old and had an injury. I understand pre-existing conditions however after 2 claim denials I am better off saving the money. They do not make it easy. I would highly consider other companies. I asked around and was told about the denials but thought I would try it out.

These folks were fabulous the first time I needed to enrol my kitty Trevor almost 2 yrs ago and just as equally fabulous when needing to add a new kitty Stella to the policy. Excellent customer service when i was having issues logging in to the website. Thank you for all your help and helping me insure my wee fur babies

Extremely Satisfied!

Extremely Satisfied! I’m so grateful for having Trupanion insurance, it's truly been a lifesaver. My 5-month-old puppy needed emergency surgery to remove a foreign body, and this was actually my second claim within two days. The first claim was approved and paid directly to the vet clinic, and the second was for the emergency surgery at another clinic that ultimately saved my puppy’s life. That clinic didn’t work directly with the insurance, so I had to submit the claim myself , but the process was incredibly easy. I was reimbursed quickly, and most of the cost over $2,000, was returned to me. The fast processing made a stressful situation so much easier. I highly recommend this pet insurance to every pet owner!!!!

I signed up a few days ago

I signed up a few days ago. The gentleman that helped me was very knowledgeable and professional. I helped me decide which was the best fit for my situation.

Monthly Cost

Monthly cost varies due to multiple factors including: species, breed, age at enrollment, gender, and postal code.

Coverage

One simple plan covers new injuries and illnesses, hereditary, congenital, and chronic conditions—once the deductible is met, Trupanion pays 90% of the remaining invoice. To view a full list of inclusions and exclusions, check out our sample policy here.

Payout Limits

Unlimited lifetime payouts on eligible conditions with no payout limits-ever.

Deductible

You can choose your deductible from $0 – $1000, in $5 increments, to fit your budget. Trupanion offers a lifetime, per condition deductible meaning that once the deductible is met for an eligible condition, you never have to meet it again. That condition is covered for life. This is great for chronic conditions that can span the entirety of a pet’s life such as allergies or cancer.

Age Limits

All pets under 14 years old can enroll. Once enrolled, pets stay insured regardless of age.

Waiting Period

Accidents: 5 days Illnesses: 30 days Other providers may have additional waiting periods for congenital conditions like hip dysplasia, Trupanion does not.

Exclusions

Trupanion was developed to protect you and your pet from unexpected illnesses and injuries. That means we don’t cover “predictable” care costs that you can plan ahead for, like: Examination fees Wellness and preventive care Elective, or cosmetic procedures Sales tax, where applicable Like all pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early! *Terms and conditions apply. Please view your sample policy for complete coverage details.
