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.

Better than health insurance for humans....

We adopted our bloodhound when he was about 6 months old. The previous owner had started a policy when the dog was about 2 months old. I was a bit skeptical but our vet recommended we continue. Sadly, within about 8 months, our dog needed major surgery. The cost of all of the tests leading up to his surgery (along with the surgery) was in excess of $10,000. Trupanion paid 90%. It has since covered other claims for ear inflections, etc. The claims are processed by the vet before I leave and I pay any balance. Result: dog is 100% and loving life. I cannot imagine having a dog without this coverage.

Pleasantly Surprised

I was initially reluctant to get pet insurance being that my dog is 7 y/o. After having the insurance for a little over 3 months we had to submit a claim for gastrointestinal issues. The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. Once they had all the information from my vet the claim came through($526) within a few days. Thus far, I would highly recommend this pet insurance.

Very Happy Experience

I was very happy with the speed of our claim from Trupanion. Our Spinone had a very expensive surgery. We had already hit our deductible and I was hoping our claim would be processed quickly. Within 10 days of sending in the claim, the money was deposited to my bank account. The process was easy and we can't be more pleased with your company. No surprises here. Thank you so much!!

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.
