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.

Most complete pet coverage available

I have this insurance for both of my pets, a dog & a cat. I have found this to be the friendliest and most compassionate insurance service available for pets. They act like they actually CARE about my pets and their well-being, their continued good health. The coverage is quite reasonable and leaves me with a worry-free feeling about my pets and their future medical needs. Most claims are reimbursed within a reasonable amount of time too. Thank you Trupanion!

Awesome company!

I'm so glad I have Trupanion for all of my pets! They are so quick to process claims and I can always count on them covering 90% of the bill besides the exam, that I never have to worry that I will be able to cover my pets' medical bills and never have to think twice before going for whatever option is best for my furry children! The monthly premiums are a small price to pay for peace of mind!

Worst Company Ever

Trupanion = Tru Scam Artists! $40 on a $490 claim! You should be ashamed of yourself! Then they have some disrespectful person from their center call who wont even let me say a word...just wants to argue with me! Again, I will happily be putting on all websites how you do business as well as have filed a complaint against you with the BBB as you should have a D Rating! I am sure there are better companies out there who don't try to scam you once you finally have a claim.

Impeccable, honest and friendly service

I never thought I would ever write a positive, glowing review of an insurance company. But, Trupanion, much to their credit, is not typical of others in their industry. Now, any insurance firm is in business to make a profit and -- understandably -- wishes to retain as much of their clients' premium paying investment as possible. No argument there. However, some firms employ less than altogether ethical methods of hanging onto their funds. Trupanion is different. From the outset, we were treated in a fair, friendly and caring manner. Communication, established within minutes of claim filing, was frequent, warm and efficient. Claim settlement was very quick and just as contracted. Our experience with Trupanion was so good that I sometimes wonder if the company is actually the home-based enterprise of a philanthropic pet lover rather than a profit hungry business person. I recommend Trupanion highly and hope this endorsement will help them recruit more clients. Trupanion deserves to prosper!

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.
