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.

Rates increasing
I bought pet insurance when we got our Rotweiler 9 yars ago. I purchased from VetInsurance, was told that there was no dedutible and that my rates would not increase. The company was sold to Ing Bank and then to Trupanion. Since they have taken over the policies my rate I creases every year. The only way to keep it at what I had originally contracted for was to apply a deductible, this is after I decided to cancel and I received a huge sob story about why I should keep it. They play to the owners heart strings. Last month I get another email that my rates are increasing again!!! Told them I was cancelling, keep getting emails pulling at heart strings again. They do not look at the breed or life expectancy. Rotties lifespan is 9-10 years, my boy is almost 9 and at this point all any pet owner should be thinking is that you are going to do the best for friend that you can and that means they don't suffer and you don't do anything to keep them alive because you don't want to lose them. Been through this with my first Rottie, she died of osteo sarcoma, made her comfortable and let her go. Be careful with these companies, it is insurance after all and they like money. 2 claims in almost 9 years, do the math as to how much you are paying. Put it in a separate bank account for your pets care. Not saying Trupanion is not a good company, but this constant increase of rates and then trying to make you feel guilty for cancelling is frustrating. Filled out the claim detail

One of the best Pet Insurance
I never experience that medical expenses for my dog will be so expensive. I was absolutely bless having this Trupanion before Puffy had dislocated disc. I won't be able to pay for his surgery without the help form Trupanion and Puffy would suffer so much without the surgery. Trupanion is so great not only for his surgery but other treatment as well. The reimbursement is fast and help me reduce the burden of my financial. When any pet owners ask me about getting pet insurance, I speak highly about Trupanion. I am now upgrade my insurance to cover more for Puffy. I'm sure everyone would be very happy with the service.

Allergies
My dog nala has allergies and Trupanion has been good at covering her allergies and reimbursing us for her meds, pads and with this medicine and pads has help Nala in controlling her allergies. So far they have been good about twlling me about new things they cover and i recently moved to azero deductavle and the new policy upgrades.

Absolutely incredible!
My 3 year old male cat had developed urethral obstruction and required catheterization. But after a day or two at home it obstructed again, and the vet recommended perineal urethrostomy.
Between Atticus's vet, who performed the catheterization, and the emergency vet performing the surgery, charges exceeded $5000.00.
I could not believe how quickly Trupanion responded to the claims. Moreover, very unlike VPI, the initial insurer that I had my cats registered with, Trupanion is precisely as it advertises -- even better.
I'm very pleased with them, and it's wonderful to have the assurance that my cats will be cared for when situations like this come to surface.
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.
