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.

Medication reimbusement

Trupanion has covered my pets medication and medical bills at 90% reimburement as promised. Processing could be faster but they have good customer service and I follow up with e-mails.

True To Their Promise

Within the last couple of years our beloved dog began to encounter multiple medical problems.Our veterinarian referred us to specialists. It was all very expensive. Thanks to Trupanion our dog received the the best possible care and we didn't need to mortgage our house. We are very happy and pleased with Trupanion. They are very consumer oriented and honest. I only wish our people health insurance was so good.

Zoe ingested a popsicle stick

Zoe took a Popsicle from one of the children, andswallowed it stick and all. She got diarrhea and was throwing up. Our vet was closed so we took her to emergency. She had x-ray's and they said it should pass. We are very pleased that it did and she is fine. Also supprised that the event was mostly covered. Trupanion covered 90% of all fees.

Worth Every Penny...

When I purchased my Boston Terrier, Elliott, I was told that he came with a 30 day free trial of Trupanion, a pet insurance company. Naturally, I laughed. Who has pet insurance? I have had dogs before and surely never needed this type of service. There is a simple form to fill out, and I filed it away with all the other paperwork received. I took my puppy in for his first round of shots, and the vet said he was a happy healthy puppy. Great! At the end of the visit, the business manager at the vet came in and asked why I haven't enrolled Elliott with the 30 day free trial of pet insurance. I said, "You've seen his report. He's healthy. There's no reason." The business manager said, it's free. Just do it. It takes two minutes. I had reservations. I was afraid of an automatic enrollment after the 30 day free trial, etc, but I enrolled Elliott anyway. It was easy; fill out this paperwork, and the vet did the rest. After a few weeks, I came back for his second round of shots, and again, I received another healthy progress report. I remarked to the vet, "Good thing I have pet insurance" and went about my day. A week later Elliott and I were playing, and he vomited. Puppies throw up, but something in my head said, this isn't right. He was lethargic. He lost his spunk. I took him into the vet, and they said something was wrong. They couldn't pin point what was exactly wrong, but they gave him a fluid bump, sent him home, and said call us if he vomits a

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.
