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.

Claim review

The process was easy and Trupanion did a great job communicating that they received the information and where they were in the process. I needed to send more information and they were very precise in what they needed and gave me a person to contact as well as an option to send the information via email which was helpful with my busy schedule.

Trupanion top choice!

Have never had a problem with any of the claims that i have needed to submit. From pancreatitis to dental surgery to hot spots, Trupanion has processed claims with no major issues. Been very lucky to have this policy.

Training

In purchasing the coverage it should be explained to the customer the extra rider to cover therapy and post surgery therapy. Or at least include the coverage with breads that are prone to surgical procedures

Great Peace of Mind

I previously had an adopted dog who developed severe orthopedic problems. The cost of physical therapy and other rehab. services just about 'broke the bank.' I swore that my next dog would have health insurance. After looking at multiple companies, I choose Trupanion. So far we haven't had any major health problems but Trupanion does pay 90% of the monthly cost of her eye drops for allergic conjunctivitus.I know that if she ever has a medical emergency or needs long term rehab services that Trupanion will be there so my girl can get the treatment she so rightly deserves.

Excellent service and responsiveness

Our 2 year old Coton de Tulear started shivering one night, and the next day it had not subsided. We wnt to our vet's office and they ran some tests to determine the problem. They found no specific issue, and recommended we take Tully to have a ultrasound exam. This also came back negative, and within about 2 or 3 days he recovered, with the help of some medication and digestive-problem dog food from the vet. Trupanion kept us informed daily as to the status of our claims and within just a week or so repaid us for the vet and ultrasound bills. We are very pleased with their service and their rapid responsiveness. Highly recommend them for any dog owner wanting to get the best care for their pet.

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.
