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.

Go elsewhere

Ugh. Our experience was frustrating. Maybe if you have a pet with zero preexisting problems...? They would look for any reason deny claims - saying it was related to preexisting condition - despite what our vet would say. Good luck appealing anything. I found that any attempts talking customer service - you would just find yourself being talked to in circles. (Even when cancelling our coverage... What a frustrating experience!) They increase their premiums without notice. And by large amounts. Which adds up each month - especially with two dogs. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere (or putting that money into a separate account each month... Into your own pockets instead of theirs). If we did insurance with pets in our future - it wouldn't be with trupanion.

Absolutely Amazing!

My pup fractured his knee, and it was a stressful situation for both him and myself. You guys over at Trupanion were incredibly awesome. You walked me through the process, always being kind and caring. You were extremely quick in terms of reimbursement. Everyone at Trupanion truly made this experience easy, and I am so thrilled with my insurance decision. I can not thank you enough! You are so wonderful!

Prompt and reliable

We were skeptical about pet insurance from all the negative stories out there, but Trupanion has proved the skeptics wrong. We contacted Trupanion after-hours, our call was received by an operator, and a Trupanion representative called us back within 10 minutes. Our claim was activated by our local animal hospital, we paid our deductible, and the rest was handled for us. Trupanion allowed us to provide the extensive care our puppy need without the burden of high vet bills. Thanks Trupanion for helping our puppy receive the medical attention she deserved. Forever grateful. Stella, Darah and Dylan

Excellent service

I did everything online and my claim was taken care of in two days.

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.
