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.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

My little "Puffy" had a horrible bout of Pancreatitis that left me feeling nervous about whatever the outcome would be. I asked the vet that Saturday morning when she was diagnosed and in a terrible state. "What I should do?" She stated "Get in the car and take her to the Emergency Center" which is exactly what I did. After presenting my credit card to whatever register needed/requested it, she was soon on the road to recovery. It definitely took time. 2 weeks and many other visits later, Puffy is back to her normal, happy self and I couldn't be more grateful. It was expensive as Puffy was on fluids and medication but I kept saying to myself "If Trupanion covers 60% then they are worth every penny." Puffy was out of pain and on to recovery. Trupanion covered closer to 90 percent of the items they said they would and now that Puffy is back to where she should be, Trupanion is more than worth every penny. You are my heros! Thank you for the bottom of my heart!

Very good and better than expected

I am a long time owner of large dogs (Newfoundlands) and have resisted pet insurance despite enormous medical bills because I could never find people who used insurance that were pleased. I recently got a puppy and my vet convinced me that Trupanion was worth a serious look. So far so good they are responsive, good communicators and for the first three months I have saved far more than the premium I'm paying for a zero deductible. I'm satisfied

Thank you Trupanion - Five stars

This is long overdue. I can't thank Trupanion enough for their level of caring, fast payments, and helpful customer service. This pet insurance is the very best. I almost didn't get pet insurance thinking it would be a waste of money. I was so wrong. I adopted a terrier mix from a shelter in June 2013. In October 2013, he got into something and was poisoned. He required a blood transfusion and a pet hospital stay. I would not have been able to afford the care he needed so I am thankful every day I see our dog that I chose to get Trupanion insurance. They were recommended to me from a friend and I can see why. They have top notch customer service and I always felt they cared about what happened to our dog. They are incredible and I highly recommend them. Thank you Trupanion for enabling us to get the care needed for our puppy to survive that horrible ordeal.

Excellent service

Our dog broke his leg and needed surgery. Trupanion was extremely responsive when they received our claim and we received reimbursement right away. No hassles.

Could not believe how well the claim process went

Had always thought pet insurance was a waster of money, I have been completely surprised at how well the claim process with Trupanion went recently with our first and only claim so far.

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.
