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.

not impressed

I recently became a client of Trupanion. My pet started vomiting about 4 weeks ago. After seeing the vet,some tests were ordered, and 5 claims were open. When the results of the test came back, the claims were sent to Trupanion. All claims were denied due to "Preexisting condition" or "prior to the policy inception/ during the 5 day accident waiting period / during the 30 day illness waiting period, there can be no coverage for this claim". I therefore cancelled my policy. I am not impressed with the company and I tell anyone who has a pet wants to listen, my story.

Excellent Cancer Coverage!

Before we were with Trupanion, we had Pets Best. We decided to switch insurance because Pets Best had a lifetime limit for each incident of $2,500. Good thing we switched to Trupanion because two months later our 14 year old dog was diagnosed with Cancer. Initially there was some confusion as to whether or not the condition was a pre-existing condition but after our vet sent a letter, Trupanion covered 90% of our dog's $6,500 cancer bill (after a $200 deductible). And, if the cancer recurs, they will pay for her treatment again! We were very blessed to find Trupanion.

It's great to have back-up

Trupanion was with me through Ziggy's emergency. I wasn't worried about cost of treatment because I knew I'd be reimbursed. I could just focus on my dog, the vets, and what had to be done next. In the end, Trupanion paid out 2/3s of the emergency costs. I was delighted. Ziggy is thriving again.

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.
