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.

Fantastick service!!!!!

We have been with Trupanion for over 10 years and have had quite a few claims, one over $5000.00. We usually have a cheque within 3-7 days. They are so helpful and kind when dealing with them. I have literally begged anyone I know with a pet to get this insurance as soon as they get their pets. It is more expensive if you wait too many years. As I have discovered that even for minor things the bill is usually over $400.00. Over a 10 year period we would have put out about $13000.00 of our money, so although it may seem hard to make those payments, you will be so grateful when it comes time to pay those huge bills. I worry that a lot of pets are not getting the medical care they need if there is no insurance, so do the right thing and be responsible, your pet will thank you.

Kane and his Cancer scare

In late August, Kane, our 11 year old Black Lab, wasn't eating and he was drooling. As soon as we possibly could, he was at our Vet, which lead to a x-ray, an ultrasound, which detected a mass on his spline. The next day, he had surgery to remove his spline and tumour. The pathology indicated that he would be a good candidate for Oncology / Chemotherapy, which was started last week, and he's tolerating it very well. Throughout all of this, Trupanion has been fantastic!!!I don't know what we would have done without Trupanion...Thank you!!!

five star

It was very good not having to worry about if I could afford the treatment my pet needed. I understood and could afford what was my part of the expense, and did not need to worry that I would have a later fight on my hands obtaining the proportion expected from my Insurer. Your prompt attention has been a great help and was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Trupanion has been fast, efficient, professional and kind while dealing with me and my dog'semergency surgeries.

We were dealing with a very sick dog who had swallowed a sock. Trupanion helped us financially as they said they would and I had my refund within 3-4 days! Unheard of!! Highly recommend them to all pet owners. No run around or stalling at all! Highly professional and when they say something, they do it and stand behind their name and reputation.

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.
