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.

Great insurance!!

A few months ago I felt 2 bb sized lumps by one of my cats mammary glands. I took her to the vet and it was recommended we do surgery as they are usually cancer. I had a unilateral mastectomy preformed and had to submit many claims to trupanion for the surgery, and then multiple rechecks. All of my claims were processed extremely fast (the last claim literally taking 5 hours from submitted to processed). I am very pleased with the service provided by trupanion. I have also called multiple times to talk with customer service and everyone is always so friendly and helpful and was concerned about how my cat was doing after surgery. It did turn out to be cancer (not a very aggressive form) but I know trupanion will be there if we have more issues in the future. She is doing great and the cancer was completely removed!

Excellent Customer Service

My dog Riley was recently diagnosed with a cancerous tumor. With one exception, Trupanion examined the claims related to his diagnosis and surgery and we received notice of consent followed very quickly by checks in the mail. I am very pleased with the outcome. Riley was not put in danger by our being forced to wait on their approval.

excellent coverage

Trupanion doesn't cover actual vet visits, but after the deductible was applied, covered 90% of my dog's allergy test and treatments. I've had her covered for other ailments, and have never had any problems dealing with them. Money well spent!

Truly the best

I have had Trupanion pet insurance since I got my rescue dog, Annabelle in February, 2011. A year later I noticed she was limping & I took her to my vet. He diagnosed her with 2 trick knees (rear legs) requiring surgery. She had the 1st surgery March, 2012 & the 2nd one in May, 2012. Each surgery was over $2600.00. The ease at which this was handled was amazing. My vet submitted the bills to Trupanion, & they covered all expenses at 90% which they sent directly to the Vet. I paid the balance of 10%. In addition, my Vet recommended a joint supplement to be given to Annabelle daily & Trupanion reimburses me at 90% when I submit my, bills. And the most amazing part is they actually send me a letter thanking me for taking such good care of Annabelle. Also their staff are professional, courteous & extremely helpful. They are simply the best.

Five Star

This insurance has been a God send for me and Thor. Since bringing home my beautiful German Shepherd puppy six years ago, Thor has been plagued with health issues. Thankfully I made the decision to enroll him with Trupanion since puppy hood. They have paid all his claims without a problem. Well worth every dime. Their claims staff is also very helpful when I've had to call with questions. Will always recommend Trupanion.

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.

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.

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

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