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.

Excellent service

I received a one month free Trupanion policy from my vet. 2 weeks later my 6month old pup got diarrhea that he couldn't shake. He was getting dehydrated and I couldn't get enough water into him so I took him to the vet. He had to stay overnight and was ultimately diagnosed with a parasite that requires some pricey meds. Trupanion covered $1900 of the $2500 bill, I was impressed as I was expecting that a "free" trial would have me on the short end of the stick. The vet had put through a pre-authorization with the ins. co so I was aware that they would cover it which was reassuring as well.

Trupanion cares!

Our 7 month old Min Pin puppy broke her left front leg while playing which required an expensive surgery to set her leg with a screw and pin. Trupanion responded quickly with a pre approval and the claim payment shortly after the final claim amount was submitted. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from Trupanion asking how our puppy was doing and if we had any questions regarding our claim.

Never Using Trupanion Again

When I called about my emergency for my dog, I had a very rude customer service representative. Not only that, I was misinformed when I got the policy. It's not really 90% coverage because medical fees are not covered. So, in actuality, I get about 50 percent coverage for something I'm pay 0 deductible. And my claim took forever. Never again.

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.
