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.

Good product

The claim was processed quickly and easily. They even did much of the legwork on their own to finish the paperwork. I had four separate events on the same claim, using three different vets. They reimbursed exactly as described in the policy and the premium has been well worth the money.

Trupanion is Awesome!!!

Having extensively researched many pet insurances, comparing and reading reviews, we decided on Trupanion. We didn't think we would be taking advantage of it before our puppy turned 2 since she didn't go through the chewing stages that many of our others did in the past. She initially showed signs of a bladder infection, but after a day of no improvement with medication and symptoms worsening, the vet confirmed it was more serious and had to be resolved immediately. Emergency surgery was performed as one of the three stones removed proved to be life threatening. Upon payment settlement to our vets and establishments, we submitted the paperwork and total claim of $2,557.89 bill and after the $400 deductible (we chose which is another fantastic option), the $203 items not covered (which is spelled out when you apply)they paid us $1,759.40 (90% as promised) which is more than any other insurance would provide!! Even better, we faxed our paperwork on a 11/10 and received an email confirmation the same day, we received a followup email on 11/11 to indicate they were verifying, and another email 11/17 to confirm that payment was issued! ONE WEEK!! While we hope it's a LONG time before the next vet visit, we know we can count on them to help us provide the best possible care for our little dog!!

Pet insurance review

I am giving Trupanion an overall rating of 8 because the claims I have presented have been handled in an efficient and professional manner. What I don't like about the policy is that every different diagnosis (i.e., stomach ache v. laceration) has its own deductible. In other words, the deductible has to be met for every injury/illness each year.

Severe choking episode.

As a veterinarian, many may think it strange that I carry insurance on my 3 companions. It was a great relief knowing I had this insurance when at 9P one night my 8 y.o. Corgi lodged her rawhide chew in her trachea. Efforts to remove it myself resulted in a bite wound to myself and a worsening of her condition. I then drove her quickly to the nearby pet emergency as the time to call in my own staff would have been excessive. In the end, the skill level this facility provided was essentially for saving her life. It was a comfort knowing that I would not have to make any choices in her care...she received the best thanks to Trupanion!

fast approval

my little girl, 2 yrs old, has had some recent ongoing issues that has required some addt'l tests, etc to find out what's going on. After contacting Trupanion, I had the claim and it was processed within 2 days. So far, I am very pleased with them and hope I don't need them so much 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

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 all pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early! *Terms and conditions apply. Please view your sample policy for complete coverage details.
