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.

You can never start too early

My puppy was not quite 4 months at the time of her accident. She had been sick the month before, and after a $2000 vet bill for two days I decided I needed to get pet insurance so this does not happen again. I had just paid my second monthly premium when Teagan broke her left femur. It needed immediate orthopedic surgery. The bill cam to over $5000. She now has to be kept calm and use her leg as little as possible for another 7 weeks. But I am grateful that that worry is not compounded with how we will pay for the cost of her bills. Trupanion was easy and fast with our reimbursement. They paid out as much money as I will pay in premiums for the next seven years.... that is amazing.

Beware if you have a large claim…..

I was quite happy over the years with Trupanion. Had a few small claims; nothing big. Until last month. Over the course of 2 hours, my dog became paralyzed in his back legs, due to a completely ruptured disc. Immediate spine surgery was needed, which was successful. So what do they do? Raise my monthly premiums by 37%. Shame on them. I also had to submit my claim 3 times, because "they never received it".

Expensive But Worth it

I have 4 pets insured by Trupanion, and early on realized that I didn't want to have deductible because the bills kept coming to just below the deductible amount. So I pay extra for zero deductible and get 90% reimbursement on everything but preexisting conditions and the standard exam costs. Covers illness and accident only, no preventive or routine care. I have filed numerous claims with them and their turnaround time is very reasonable. My oldest dog has cancer and the bill is already in $5000 range and overall reimbursement has been 85-90% of costs incurred to date.

Trupanion Rocks!

Our little Jax, a 13 month old cairn got soo sick Easter Sunday. He started vomiting with diahrea and shaking non stop. I tried to hold out a few hours but i started to worry about dehydration. Good thing we went to the ER Hospital. Poor baby just had a bad tummy, but they gave him fluids and anti everything else. What a bill! But Trupanion came through! 90% reimbursement of the bill (minus deductable and office visit). Just like they say. If you are looking for a good company, pick Trupanion!

Cancer Free After 2 Surgeries

An oral mass proved to be a melanoma, the most aggressive form of cancer. Heartfelt thanks to both West Coast Vet Dental Services and Canada West Vet Specialists located in Vancouver. Two surgeries successfully removed the tumor and surrounding tissue, leaving him cancer-free. Trupanion came through with flying colors, handling the claims quickly and kept in touch via email while processing and forwarding payment.

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.
