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.

Best coverage and service

I have had this insurance for my Brady since he was 6 months old. Sadly after his 2nd birthday he became sick with Pancreatitis. Ever since then he has had bouts of gastritis and recently had a surgery due to a hernia/liver lobe in his chest cavity. Every step of the way the support I have from Trupanion and the knowledge that I can provide whatever to ensure my baby is well cared for knowing that I have the insurance to help financially. Every time I have sent in a claim with in a week the check is in my mailbox. Never an issue with a claim being paid. When my boy had surgery in Feb within 11 hours I had the pre-approval for his surgery sent back to me. I have dealt with the customer service people on several occasions and they have always been friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They always ask about my fur baby and when I adopted another baby in May I quickly signed her up as well. I can't thank this insurance company enough because it has allowed me to provide care that I may not otherwise been able to afford.

very supportive & reliable insurance company

Trupanion is the best pet insurance company that I do not hesitate to recommend any pet owners and I actually did that with my co-workers & other pet owners @ the Vetcare/emergencyclinic. The staff @ the company is very supportive and there is always someone answer the phone( not the machine)& treat the customers nicely; there is the human touch ! Pet owners need that at the time of distress when their pets are injured or very sick and most important is that we know that we have the financial support to help with the big bills. They have done above and beyond !!! A big "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart.

they were the best

I had other pet insurance and by far Trupanion is the best. They make it easy and they pay you immediately. Most importantly when my dog passed they were kind, empathic and sent me a note to say how sorry they were. That meant the world to me.

Great company

I have been with Trupanion for a few years now and they are a very good company! They have always processed our numerous claims in a timely manner and are very knowledgable in terms of whats covered and what's not. But I knew they really cared when my dog Max passed away after a battle with cancer, when I called them to let them know that he had died and to cancel his coverage , the rep I spoke to started to become upset as she told me, she too had recently lost a dog to cancer . I was truly impressed with the compassion Trupanion has shown me and my dogs hands down the best insurance coverage you could possibly provide for your pet.

Quick and easy

My 16 month old English Spronger Spaniel had a growth that was growing and bleeding. We had it removed. It was benign! Once I reviewed the policy, I followed the instructions and gathered the required documentation and filled out the claim form. I sent all info in. Soon after that I received an e-mail confirmation that my claim had been received and was being reviewed. In a timely manner I received the review of what was eligible to claim and shortly after that I received my check.Thank you for a prompt review and response.

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.
