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.

Wish my own health insurance were this good!

We have had Trupanion for our terrier mix (now almost seven) since he was a pup, and we are so happy we got Trupanion. Ozzie has had a lot of unexpected issues: an acorn stuck in his throat when he was three months; a torn groin muscle at about two years; two attacks of pancreatitis due largely to his desire to eat absolutely anything he can get in his mouth; bites by large dogs twice. Trupanion has more than paid for itself, and the claims process is extremely easy and fast. I wish my own health insurance would spell out as clearly what is covered and what isn't.

Love love LOVE Trupanion!!!

Trupanion has been there throughout my (fairly healthy) dogs life. They're customer service is fantastic! My claims have been paid directly to my hospital while I was paying! So i never paid my whole bill, only my very small portion! It was awesome. Love the company, love the coverage, never had a problem with 3 other pets previously either. Their prices are slightly more than other quotes I got, but you get what you pay for - a high quality company!!!

Good coverage, wonky billing reconciliation

Trupanion continues to be a wonderful service. I realize that my pet's illness has consumed all of the premiums I have paid over the years making my account a "loss" for the company's bottom line. However, I appreciate that Trupanion's staff is always caring and professional when working to handle my pet's claims. The one area that needs improvement in the pet insurance and veterinarian care universe is billing coordination. It's enough stress to have a pet with a serious illness. I don't enjoy seeing strange bills from my vet because their billing cycle doesn't match Trupanion's. I also tend to panic when vets and clinics have trouble navigating Trupanion's claim and pre-authorization system. It's a lot of paperwork and stress when you're standing at the counter while your pet is afraid and in pain and you have to figure out why you're staring at a $900 visit bill. I recommend Trupanion, I really do. And I sincerely hope that they can differentiate themselves from other insurance providers by creating a smooth and stress-free claims experience.

Definately get Trupanion Pet Insurance!!

We just got a new puppy and at our first vet visit they offered a free month of Trupanion Insurance. Luckily, I signed up for it! Two weeks later, our puppy had a serious accident and needed two nights of care in the hospital. Trupanion was fantastic in processing our claim and covered over $1,200 of our costs within days of our request. The claims representative was exceptionally helpful and caring on the phone -- I highly recommend Trupanion to anyone with a puppy.

Affordable protection for a valuable family member

New active boxer puppy suddenly became ill, listless, vomiting, shaking. Rushed to MSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital, diagnosed within an hour, aggresssive treatment in ICU for several days, kidney failure and liver damage, near death. Leptospirosis suspected and confirmed. Puppy given best possible chance for survival. Cured with no residual damage to any system. Now supercharged with energy and affection. Vet inquired about pet insurance, bill was several thousand dollars. I replied we had a Trupanion policy..Vet relieved...said "they're excellent". He filled out our claim and submitted to Trupanion. Paid without question. We were /are thrilled...!!!

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.
