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.

Excellent Service

I was surprised at how quickly Trupanion set up the ongoing claim for Pollie's Addison's Disease. The fact that they have the Trupanion Express Claim where they will pay the veterinary clinic 90% of the claim once the one time deductible per condition at the time of the appointment is wonderful.

Would highly recommend!!!

Trupanion is by far the best choice in pet insurance. They have been professional, courteous and caring. They are extremely quick in responding to a claim and I cannot think of one negative thing to say about this company. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to provide the best possible care for your pet.

AWESOME

The claim process was easy, and the refund fast. I debated not getting an insurance plan and decided I would try it for a month. A week later we had a 2 day hospital stay and a $2,400 bill. Trupanion made the expense much more affordable and since I have reduced my deductible even more.

I recommend Trupanion and I give them an A+

My last pet of 10 years was an Italian Greyhound named Bailey. He had developed a serious chest infection that required surgery and extensive medication, which had become very expensive. After about 6 months he made a turn for the worse and he passed away. I recently welcomed a new Italian Greyhound puppy into my family. His name is Murphy. I took Murphy to my veterinarian for his puppy check up. Knowing of the expense I incurred during Bailey’s illness, my veterinarian told me about Trupanion . After reading the information, I decided to sign Murphy up using the 30-day certificate with no waiting period. Murphy now has medical insurance and is covered for all accidents and illnesses. Soon after making the first month premium payment,Murphy broke his leg. It was on a holiday so I rushed him to an Emergency Animal Hospital. To make a long story short, Trupanion came through like a champ. I signed up for Trupanion May 21, 2014, I made my first premium payment June 20, Murphy broke his leg July 4 and they operated July 7. I notified Trupanion and they took it from there. They paid 90% less the initial exam, my deductable and my 10%. On July 14, Trupanion deposited their 90% into my checking--over $3,200.00. They will continue paying 90% until Murphy is released--unbelievable!I highly recommend Trupanion. They have been excellent to work with. Their staff are very courteous, friendly and caring. They also follow up to see how Murphy is doing. What more could you ask for? I give them an A+.

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.
