Pets can be full of surprises-so their insurance coverage shouldn’t be. That’s why Trupanion 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. 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. To put it simply, there is a reason why 98.7% of Trupanion members stay enrolled every month. 1 Based on a November 2020 internal study analyzing third party hospital claims data comparing pets insured with a Trupanion policy to pets without a Trupanion policy. * Terms and Conditions apply.

Friendly people. Great coverage.

I love the people at Trupanion. They are all pet lovers and genuiney concerned about or dog, TJ. The only problem is if you have a pet that does not use it very often, you would be better off taking the money you would spend on insurance and putting it in a savings account to use for your pet when needed. There have been a few times that we filed a claim and got back less than we paid for our monthly premium, meaning we would have been better off without it. On the other hand, TJ recently needed surgery and without Trupanion, we would not have been able to afford it. We are happy with Trupanion overall.

Trupanion = Awesome pet insurance

I have owned labrador retrievers a long time and had another pet insurance that really did not pay for anything as they said it was "pre-existing" ... ugh.. I thought all pet insurance plans were like then and stayed away from them. Then we got two more lab puppies and my hubusand was told that Trupanion was a good insurance. While a bit skeptical, we decided to get it anyway. When my black lab, who at one of year of age, started to limp, and found out that she needed TPLO surgery, I so happy to have pet insurance. The surgery alone is well over $3,500. Trupanion paid 90% of that. And they processed the claim better than my health care company. Trupanion has awesome people working the phone & email. I can't say enough about how happy I am with Trupanion. If you have an animal, it's the best gift you can buy your pet to know that when a illness or injury happens, you won't hesitate to get everything done on your baby, because you have Trupanion!

Fast and friendly

Always fast and friendly responses. Been quicker as of late. On average, I receive an email a few days after the claim, processed within a week, and cheque artives a few days later. Other than a mishap about deductibles (not fulfilled and claiming a year later), service has always been exceptional.

porcopine encounters

I have spoken to many people about their claim experiences with other providers and have heard stories about exemptions for 2nd or 3rd claims such as quill removal. Trupanion has never questioned our claims and has always processed them quickly. After 3 years of off leash walks I find that my 2 huskies will now be on leash which is unfortunate. eventually there will be some fully fenced off leash areas in calgary. I recommend Trupanion to all and wish I had purchased insurance for my previous 2 huskies who over the course of 12 years cost us around $30,000.00 I couldn't be more pleased with a provider.

Outstanding!

I am more than happy that I selected Trupanion when purchasing a policy for my dog. She has had a couple of bad injuries this year, and Trupanion almost always has our claim reviewed and payment sent within a week!

Monthly Cost

Your monthly premium is determined by multiple factors including your pet’s species, gender, breed, age, zip code, and the deductible amount you choose if your policy allows.

Coverage

Depending on your plan, the Trupanion policy pays up to 100% of your vet bill for all eligible expenses. There are unlimited payout limits, always and Trupanion will never increase or cancel your coverage because of claims you submit. Coverage includes new accidents and illnesses, hereditary, congenital, and chronic conditions, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and much more. Trupanion prides itself on paying out more on the dollar than any other provider and has paid out nearly $2 billion in claims to date.

Payout Limits

The Trupanion policy* has no payout limits, so whether your pet needs one quick visit or a lifetime of care, your coverage won’t quit. That can mean a big difference if your pet develops a chronic condition requiring extended care like allergies, diabetes, or even cancer.

Deductible

If your Trupanion policy has a deductible, you can customize it to fit your budget. You can choose from $50 to $1,000 in increments of $5, or choose to have no deductible at all. Trupanion deductibles are per-condition and good for the life of your pet. That means no annual resets-once a deductible is met, you never have to pay the deductible for that condition again.

Age Limits

All new pets can enroll from birth until their 14th birthday. Once your pet is enrolled, they can be enrolled for life

Waiting Period

Waiting periods vary by state. Please see your states policy for full coverage details. However, 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 many other pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early! * Terms and Conditions apply. Coverage may vary by state. Not all veterinarians accept direct payment.
