Trupanion Canada | Pet Insurance Review

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 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!!

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!

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.

Very friendly and knowledgeable about their service. Would recommend 10/10
