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.

She is special

I have had previously issues with Trupanion with trying to make claims that I should pay new deductible for the same health issues my dog has had previously. She was treated for pancreatitis having been put on special diet, now it’s claimed by Lauren that it’s similar but not the same symptoms according to her I asked to speak to the person in charge she didn’t provide a name of her supervisor or contact information I find that they are being dishonest towards me to deny my previous deductions are exactly the same as the one this time only difference is my pet had relapsed I’m writing this to let pet owners be aware of the scam

Trupanion in 2 years has increased my pups fees by 54.00/month and we have been claim free for my 2 year old pup. The cost increase happened twice in the 2 years. Rediculous!

Make sure you read the fine print we… ask questions read the fine print

Make sure you read the fine print we had to have three masses removed from our dog today and if they don’t come back the same we will be charged a $275 deductible per per mass and we are already paying $150 a month for a coverage Recently they upped our premium $40 a month and nobody even contacted us. They are way better pet insurance places than this and we will be looking into them as soon as this mess is taken care of. Not a good way to treat pet parents that are already stressed out and upset dealing with their pets illness.

Used to be a good company now they just rob you

I agree with other reviewers - Trupanion used to be great. Now they are ZERO STARS. I had them with my second furbbaby and never had a problem. I got them again with my third kid. I just realized that AFTER THE FIRST MONTH, Trupanion raised my premium (automatic deduction) $25 WITHOUT NOTICE AND MY CONSENT. I only realized this when they sent me a notification they would be raising my premium AGAIN THIS YEAR. I thought they were raising it $30, but it's actually $10 because THEY ALREADY RAISED IT $25 WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!!! They want me to pay $85/month. FOR A TWO YEAR OLD DOG. FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN GREED. We have NEVER FILED A CLAIM BEFORE. These people admit there is a PHONE RECORDING of our price conversation BUT REFUSE TO LET ME HEAR IT. I am considering suing them. By the way, this all started because of DR SMITH who wrote something in his medical report when he was 5 MONTHS OLD. He TWO AND WE'VE HAD NO ISSUES. DONT USE TRUPANION AND CATS AND DOGS IN LONG BEACH. PLEASE READ ALL BBB COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS COMPANY. Please be sure to call your bank to BLOCK payments if and when you cancel because THEY DELAY CANCELLATION AND COLLECT YOUR MONEY.

Trupanion Customer Care

This company has been very helpful with their customer service and their coverage. I spoke with Brittany, she was very kind, professional, and helpful. She helped take care of a little problem with an outcome for a claim case and was very prompt and friendly.

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.
