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.

Great service and peace of mind

Our sweet 11+-year old cat has developed cancer which can be treated as a chronic condition. She has been insured with Trupanion for many years. The diagnostics and interim care were very expensive (nearly $4,000 in costs in 7 months). The ongoing treatment and monitoring will be perhaps $1,000 per year for the rest of her life.Our kitty is responding very well to the treatments and is once again her happy self. Trupanion has paid all claims promptly, with a caring attitude and great follow-up. Thank you to Trupanion for its excellent insurance plan and helpful staff. There is another benefit to having pet insurance: we always travel with peace of mind. Our pet sitter and our vet both know that if anything happens to our kitty while we are away, cost is not an issue: the treatment should be based on what's best for our pet in the long run.

They do what they promise and more

The first time I used my Trupanion coverage I was very impressed. Their customer service was super and they provided exactly the coverage I was promised, no surprises. I've been recommending them to my pet-parent friends.

Excellent, above and beyond service

Everytime I call Trupanion, they are incredibly friendly and helpful. Our dog has hip dysplasia and has recently had his first total hip replacement. Trupanion were able to provide us with quick pre-approval so the surgery could go ahead (they got back to us within an hour). Then, when making the claim, their representative Donna was very helpful and took charge of our claim so that it could be processed as quickly as possible. We have been extremely pleased with the service and coverage and really would recommend them for pet insurance.

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.
