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.

Very happy with my customer experience.

When I called to discuss a policy the woman answered right away and she was very informative. It was nice to talk to a real person so quickly without waiting on hold forever. We look forward to being a Trupanion customer for years with the new addition of our puppy to our family.

I booked an appointment to have my dog…

I booked an appointment to have my dog spayed. After reading the documentations I decided to get pet insurance in case anything should happen during surgery. The next day I got pet insurance with Trupanion and they had no issues taking $200 from me immediately. That night Around 8 PM my dog got the Zumiez and kept running back-and-forth jumping on and off the couch and her kneecap Dislocated and popped out of place. This Caused laxatated Patela and is classified as accidental. However after taking the $200 I find out that there is a waiting period. Five days for accidental and 30 days for illness. It seemed a little odd as I have already paid my premiums for the month and couldn't understand why I wouldn't be able to use them if I've already paid and my effective date started when I paid. However the company refused my claim and stated it is an illness and will now be classified as a pre-existing illness even though it happened after my start date of premiums and they will not cover anything going forward that has to do with my dogs knees.. this is the biggest insurance scam I have ever heard of. If I'm paying premiums for something that wasn't existent prior to me not having insurance, It should be covered. However after sharing this information with the insurance company they continue to argue saying it's an illness even though the medical vet said it's not an illness it's accidental. This company does have some pretty shady reviews however it seemed to be the only company that did direct billing so I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt. However I would suggest saving your money and going with a better company. Because Trupanion just wants to take all your money and they don't wanna pay out anything When the time is needed. I have demanded a full refund of my money and to cancel premiums and I will never tell my friends or family with pets to go with this company. save your money!!

Ridiculous loopholes and deductibles not worthwhile for the money monthly

I pay 140/month and they ask for a deductible per incident which is fair. Only if your dog gets attacked by a porcupine more than once and requires surgery.... they make you pay the deductible TWICE. BS man this is a huge money grab and not worthwhile. I will be looking elsewhere. I have heard great things about Fetch insurance and will be switching to them. Thanks for nothing!

Be very careful when dealing with this…

I am extremely dissatisfied with the experience I had with your company. Your failure to process payments in a timely manner resulted in two NSF fees on my bank account, totaling $150, including a stop payment fee. When I reached out to your customer service, I was met with resistance and unhelpful responses. The manager I spoke with seemed unconcerned with resolving the issue and instead focused on canceling my account. I was surprised to learn that your company's policy involves verifying funds with the bank before processing payments, which led to the delayed withdrawals. This approach is unlike any other company I have dealt with, which typically process payments on the scheduled date. I urge you to reevaluate your customer service practices to prevent similar experiences in the future.

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

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.
