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.

Trupanion, THANK YOU

I will be more than happy to write up this review giving a "10+" rating to Trupanion Pet Insurance and their caring and prompt service. Our family adopted our American Pit Bull Terrier, Ke'ala from a high-kill shelter in Southern California last August, 2013. She was 14 weeks old and just fit into our family very well. She came to us with numerous "Cooties" from the shelter such as worms and other intestinal maladies, but with the great care from our fantastic vets at Rolling Hills Animal Hospital in San Pedro, CA, she grew up into a beautiful animal. She turned 1 on 6/8/14, and a week later, things took a strange turn. She started limping, and when we took her to our vet, she was x-rayed and diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia. The x-rays also revealed a wedging of her spinal bones which was very concerning to our vet. Within 24 hours, Ke'ala was lame (she could not walk more than 3 steps without collapsing) with signs of neurological symptoms of lack of sensation /pain response in her back legs. We took her to a speciality hospital which evaluated her right away. They were great. But TRUPANION was just awesome. Their critical "pre-authorization" process got her the care she needed right away along with the security that we would not have to worry with covering this payment. Not only did they cover her neuro work-up, but again due to the critical pre-authorization process, they covered her 1st of 4 proposed surgeries that allow her to walk again. TRUPANION IS A GOD S

Awesome !

I have two of my dogs insured with Trupanion and have been very happy ! Jesse came to us as a pup, she was spayed at approximately 6 months old. Did you know that 1 out of 250 dogs will develop incontinence after being spayed or neutered ? I didn't !!! Well my poor Jesse was that one. Trupanion was there for us ! No questions asked ! Every couple of months I get her meds (that she has to take twice a day) I submit the receipt and its reimbursed ! Trupanion is awesome ! Reimbursements are quick, response time on my submission is super fast and their customer service is top notch ! This is one decision I made that I am very thankful for ! Thank you Trupanion !

100% Satisfaction!

Our cat became ill in undet a year's time of having Trupanion Insurance. They couldn't have made it easier for us. The vet submitted the invoices, we received confirmation of same and then a followup within a day or so informing us of the alloted coverage. Then the check followed shortly in the mail. Our cat is doing great and we have not been financially devastated. We highly recommend Trupanion! It has been well worth it!

Brand new customer and I'm already impressed

I just signed my dog up yesterday for Trupanion and I am already extremely impressed with their customer service. I had a few questions about changing my policy, hopped onto the online chat and Cory was able to help me out with all of my questions. He was able to answer everything, double checked the fine print for me, and was very friendly and personable. It's only day 2 of my policy and I'm already very pleased with the customer service I have received.

Very Helpful - Speedy Service

Trupanion was very helpful. I called before my dog went in for surgery to ask about a pre-approval. They sent the form right away. The surgery was covered. My vet also had an express claim form that was sent directly to Trupanion. We knew before the surgery how much we had to pay and what additional things were not covered under the insurance. Great service

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.
