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.

Gone in a gulp

Our puppy, Smoke, a five month old Labradoodle gulped down an article of clothing belonging to our granddaughter. It was a Sunday night so we took him to the vet emergency clinic where he was treated and discharged. The clinic filed the paperwork for us with Trupanion and we had our check in about a week. It could not have been an easier or smoother transaction. My first experience with pet insurance and I recommend it and Trupanion.

Fast help in a time of need

The prompt approval and payments by Trupanion have been a huge help in the medical crisis that arose due to our dog Nina's cancer. Can't say enough as to how pleased we are at averting what could have been heartbreaking decisions on treatment. Fortunately NIna has responded well to surgery and chemothereapy, and her life has definitely been prolonged.

LOVE

Trupanion is the best! We love having this insurance. They make life so easy in terms of doing the right thing for my dog and also in terms of making claims and reimbursement.

I wish human insurance had service this good!

I've been a faithful user of Trupanion for three and a half years, and I can say with full certainty that getting a Trupanion policy for my cat has been one of the smartest decisions of my life. Her major bladder surgery? Covered. Blood and urine tests? They got it. Prescription food? Discounted. On top of it all, the service is by far the best I've experienced anywhere. The few times I've had to call about an issue I've spoken to some of the friendliest and caring people I've ever cold-called. They are clearly pet lovers, and they fully understand just how much love I have for my furry friend. And the claim checks come extremely fast. The longest I've had to wait is a week, and most claims have come in just 3-4 days. They get you your money, and they get it to you quickly. I've recommended Trupanion to several friends and will continue to do so. It's peace of mind and great service coupled together.

Surgery coverage

Our 8 month old puppy unexpectedly broke her front leg while being a puppy. This is our third surgery experience (3 different dogs) with Trupanion. I think there service overall is better than my personal medical insurance both in cost and service.

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.
