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.

Great choice
I was looking at reviews and researching pet insurances myself about a year ago.I've signed up for Trupanion. I would highly recommend this plan to other pet owners. Several months ago my cat was diagnosed with feline asthma. Medications and inhalers are very expensive. I would not have been able to afford it if I didn't have Trupanion coverage. They pay 90% of all costs as promised. Moreover other insurance companies don't even cover chronic illnesses like feline asthma and cost the same.

Corn cobs and Berners don't mix!
Murfy, my 27 month Berner ingested three 1" chunks of corn cob and they had to be surgically removed. He was hospitalized for two days and the final bill came to slightly more than $4000. of which Trupanion covered $3022. (We have $500 deductible.) The vet preauthorized the claim so we were not forced to pay the total amount upfront and then wait for reimbursement. The initial exam and diagnosis took place September 11 and the cheque was in the mail to the vet by Sept 16. In my opinion this was exceptional service and gave me great peace of mind to know Murfy was taken care of no matter what the treatment and cost was not an issue.

Trupanion is the best decision I made for my pet!
My dog Sophie recently had surgery for a congenial disease in her hip. Her surgery was going to cost me $2600, but with Trupanions help I and only paying $200. Trupanion was very helpful with any questions I had about her coverage. The first time I spoke with a representative from Trupanion they were able to tell me what kind of coverage was best for my dog's breed and what congenial diseases I should cover just incase. Thanks to the background information the representative was able to give me about my dog, she was able to get the surgery she needed to make her better!I recommend Trupanion to anyone with pets they love, Trupainon shows true support and really cares.

Thanks Trupanion!! you were amazing!
Trupanion was amazing handling my puppies medical bills. I loved the face they would email me once they got the bill and then email me again letting me know everything was approved and they were mailing me the chq.
Unfortunatily my puppy did not survive and passed away due to a narrow trachea. Only had him in my life for 3 weeks. they were the most amazing 3 weeks of my life with this little guy.
Trupanion you were amazing and when the time is right and i get myself another puppy i will be getting my pet insurance from you!!!!
thanks for the great survice!!!
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!
