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.

So disappointed

Been a paying policyholder for 7 years and finally needed the insurance. Dog had surgery to remove lumps, one of which was cancerous. Trupanion identified each of the four lumps a separate CONDITION. Each CONDITION, not the +$3K surgery/illness, was subject to my $1000 deductible. WhAT A Shock that the illness was not covered!

Trupanion is the BEST - Hands Down!!

We rescued two Golden puppies from a backyard breeder - both of them have had health issues since the outset. We purchased the insurance when the pups were 3 mos old - they're 5 now. Trupanion and the staff there have ALWAYS been extremely helpful and very good about working with us to get our boys the care they need. The claim process is simple and efficient, claims are settled very quickly. They're fair and are not looking for a way to deny a claim!! I honestly love them. I've sent numerous people to them for their pet insurance...even my vet recommends them now!!

Trupanion there when I needed it, easy & no stress

My two year old Lab Mix Bernese Moutain Dog had an extremely urgent surgery to remove a tumor on his spine. Not only did we have to fly from Alaska to get an MRI, we also had a spinal tap, lots of blood work, and surgery. During this stressful time Trupanion worked with my vet to get the bills settled as they were stacking up to around $10,000. They preapproved claims and called me with status updates. All I did was submit the papers. True to their word my bills have been taken care of per my policy. As a young adult still in college I couldn't have afforded this without Trupanion. After the surgery we discovered my dog has cancer and Trupaion is still there to assist me during this difficult time. Thank goodness I chose Trupanion. You can't beat their customer service and dedication.

What Life Saving Angels

Coconut is a 3 yr old chihuahua who has just recently had patella luxation surgery and repair of her ACL. She has had one previous claim for obstruction. My furry baby is my life so having Trupanion by my side has allowed me to care for her and not worry about the astronomical bills that pet care can add. My vet is even connected to them so they submit everything and when i pick her up i just pay my deductible or my percentage.

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.
