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.

Amazing

I absolutely think Trupanion pet insurance is amazing. There are no hidden clauses that they will lower the payout amount if you make more than the national average amount of claims that other insurance companies do. They process claims in a timely manner and have lived up to their commitment to provide 90% coverage with no hidden clauses or hassles. I recommend Trupanion to anyone who asks about pet insurance.

Excellent Service

My dog developed a bladder problem that required a lot of expensive testing and medications. Within 2 weeks of submitting the claim, Trupanion accepted it without issues. The claims rep was professional and kind and I received the reimbursement checks quickly.

Amber

I haven't yet received my insurance check. I am sure it is on it's way. I have to say with all the anguish and stress of dealing with Ambers illness, with the testing and different diagnosis until we can get it right, it is so very draining, but it is also so comforting to know that the trupanion insurance is there working for me. This has been the easiest part of Ambers illness, it is so easy to complete and send the claim form. Then I just sit back and wait for the check. I wish my own medical insurance was so easy. And the only reason the claim took 3+ weeks is that she has now been sick on and off for 3 months not that trupanion is taking a long time with the claim

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.  
Trupanion was founded in 2000 with the goal to help pet owners plan for the unexpected and take the cost out of the care equation.
