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 works hard to satify your claim.

A sudden illness called Pancreatitis fell upon one of our loving dogs. Having Trupanion on my side took the financial stress out of the entire ordeal. Trupanion offers ONE awesome plan which makes it all so easy. Most important is the fact that there is total communication between you, them and the vet. So reassuring. Truly, the most compassionate reps. I have ever dealt with in any Co. Thank you everyone at Trupanion.

Exceptional customer service!

When we first purchased pet insurance I was skeptical. I figured that we would pay into it for the life of our pet and never use or when we did need it, it would be difficult to collect. The idea of a costly vet bill in our time of need swayed my decision so I decided to sign up and "see what happens". Recently, our 4 year old Rottweiler underwent a surgical repair for a lameness in her leg. At our vets recommendation we opted for a procedure (TPLO) that would allow our dog to return to the standard of life that she had been accustom to. Our vet contacted Trupanion to ensure that the procedure was covered and within hours we were approved and scheduling her surgery date. Once the surgery was completed additional follow ups were required for laser treatments, all covered. We have since completed those follow ups and our pup is on the road to recovery. Aside from paying our initial deductible, all monetary transactions were made between our vet and Trupanion, making it extremely easy for us not having to prepare claims forms and expense lists. In fact, we even received a check for fees paid upfront prior to the approval for the surgery. All of our dealings with Trupanion were very pleasant and you could tell that the people on the other end of the phone have true passion for what they do and a love of animals. I strongly believe that they understand that a pet is not just a pet but a member of your family. I really cannot say enough great things about Trupa

Amazing

I have only been with TruPanion for a few months ago. My puppy fractured his leg and TruPanion was super helpful, and processed each claim within a week to week and half. Its quite stressful when you find out how much it really costs for surgery for a pet. I was humming and hawing about insurance thinking it was going to be a waste of money. I highly suggest getting pet insurance as it is a lot cheaper than having to pay out of your pocket if something is to come up. And I would highly suggest paying a higher amount without a deductible, especially when they are still a puppy.

Stress free

Our dog Stewie fractured two teeth within a 3 week period and it was quite costly to have the first removed surgically and the second root canalled (a canine). Trupanion not only reviewed our claim and amazing speed but made it so easy and also checked in with us to make sure Stewie was doing well. Being able to have our claim submitted right from the doctor's office and constant email communication regarding claim status made this experience pleasant and so worth the monthly payments. I'd recommend Trupanion to anyone, and so does our dog's vet:)

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.
