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.

Used to think Pet Insurance was silly

Having never been a dog owner, I used to think that Pet Insurance was silly. Then we got our first dog, a pure bred handsome Giant Schnauzer, Mack. Within 6 months of age, he had been to the vet several times for digestive issues. At that time we thought if this contines, maybe it's time to consider insurance. After doing our research, we decided to go with Trupanion. It's the best thing we every did. His digestive issues went away, but at 4 years of age, he started having siezures, and 4 years later we are up to a couple of hundred dollars a month in medication and medical tests regularly. Every claim that I have submitted for Mack has been processed within a couple of days, and never any quesitons asked. Without this insurance, I'm not sure Mack would have the quality of life that he has now. We insure 2 dogs, and it gives us great peace of mind. Thank you Trupanion !!

ACL injury

Excellent service - a little confused over how many times I have to pay the deductible. Because I changed the deductible from $150 to 0 when she had already started treatment for her ACL injury does this mean for the next,let's say six follow ups will each be $ 150 deductible.

great pet insurance

My Labrador ate God only knows what. She was so ill, wouldn't eat or drink and would only vomit. It was terrible. Sheended up needing surgery small bowel obstruction. The surgery was over 2 thousand dollars. I made my clam amamid with in a week I was emailed the amount I'd be receiving which was 90% of the total cost. The whole ordeal was so upsetting but throughout it I had the piece of mind that financially it wouldn't be a problem.

FANTASTIC

My pug was started on coverage on 1/1/14. On 1/3/14 I noticed he was drinking alot. I took him to my vet and he was diagnosed with an elevated calcium level which made us very suspicious of cancer and a urinary tract infection. $1600 worth of meds and diagnostics later including an abdominal ultrasound Darth Vader was diagnosed with a parathyroid tumor and bladder stone. Trupanion saved his life by covering 90% of this cost. He will be having surgery next month and I will be again availing myself of this wonderful service. I highly recommend this company!

Trupanion Review

I purchased Trupanion Pet Insurance when Cody was 3 months old, of course never wanting to have to use it.Recently, Cody was tested for Cushings. Luckily, he is ok but follow-up tests continue. With Trupanion, I paid a one time deductible for this issue and all related tests/procedures are covered. I would highly recommend Trupanion for pet insurance

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.
