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.

Trupanion review

Been a pretty decent experience so far.. Harder to start as what was being said to me, was not being "written" down in my policy file - seems to have changed now and it's a lot better

Yorkie

Our Yorkie is 4 years old - in that time, we have had four claims with Trupanian, two for luxating patella surgery (pins in the knees as the kneecaps pop off); one for being attacked by a Lab; and one for a torn ACL and meniscus in the knee - over $8000 worth. Trupanian has been great - paid very quickly, always within 2 weeks. It was a relief to have the coverage. And today, I got an email that our premiums were decreasing by $4 per month (we only paid $37 per month which I thought was very reasonable). They are GREAT!

Awesome service!!

After having to put down 2 cats due to emergency bills that would have been outrageous I knew when our family decided to get a dog we needed insurance. I was very skeptical if pet insurance was the real thing, but after much investigation and reading reviews we went with trupanion. We have nothing but good things to say so far! Fast and friendly service!

Suspect Idiopathic Epilepsy

Trupaninon paid back $168.00 on my claim. It took about 1 week. We love Trupanion Insurance.

Surprise Visits

Our puppy Shadow is full of energy at all times. One day as we were getting ready to take him for a walk we noticed there was blood on the floor. We searched everywhere to find out where it was coming from. Eventually we noticed that he had a cut on the back of his leg. We immediately took him to the vet where they said he would need to be under anaesthetic to get this cut stitched up. The estimate for this procedure was over $1000.00 luckily having the pet insurance made that amount more manageable! Thank you Trupanion.

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.
