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.

Quick and Easy Claim!
When our 6 month old puppy showed signs of a liver disease during a routine blood test and needed a biopsy, Trupanion was quick to answer our questions and process our claim. We are so thoroughly impressed with the service we have received during this time and the care and concern they have shown for us and our puppy.

Fast service
I am impressed with how quickly we get service from Trupanion. Within a week, I got my reimbursement for the cost of Bailey's care. No hassle.

Fast and easy
Simple process; I simply fax a short form to my vet and they in turn fax needed info onto insurer. I received updates along the way to let me know where they were in the review process. Check came shortly after; no surprises. Everything as expected.

Right place at the right time
My vet was offering a 30 free trial for Trupanion and I had been shopping around for pet insurance for my dog Quincy, so I gave it a try. During the free trial, we discovered Quincy had an oral melanoma. The vet removed the tumor, and after meeting with an oncologist, Quincy had a partial mandibulectomy. Then we followed up with a round of melanoma vaccines. I am very grateful that we found Trupanion at the right time, and they did cover 90% of all her cancer treatment. My only complaint is that it took over 6 weeks to get my initial claims processed and I had almost $10k that I put on a credit card for the surgery and treatment. My credit took a major hit and I had to request an increase. But since then, they have responded to my claims within 24 hours, and the checks arrive within a week.
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!
