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.

hidden costs

what i was told when i purchased the insurance was different to what i got. i was smacked with a huge hidden cost. the whole 90% coverage is not really 90%. it's 90% of the subtotal. Also, if your animals condition requires followups those followups are not covered either. i was told the initial exam was covered but all subsequent exams would be. apparently they changed their mind. i had to complain and they did sort it out as a one time courtesy, but they still didn't admit any wrong doing or misrepresentation.

excellent

We have a 2 year old lab ( big baby)who experienced lameness in both hind legs but the right was worse than the left. He recieved treatment for this for approximately Jan to May. He had to wear two stfle braces on his hind legs which were covered by trupanion to our amazement and they paid directly. These were approximately $2000. We paid our deductible and they paid 90% prior tax. He had these on until May when it was determined he would need to have a TPLO. We have had prior insurance with another pet and we were quite concerned that we would have a huge run around and then not have the payout. Again to our amazement and this was not the case. Trupanion paid the vet directly 90% and we paid 10% as we had already reached our deductable. Toby is now approx. 14 weeks post surgery and doing very well on his leg. Truapnion has been a blessing for us to be able to have our guy have the treatment he neeeded without worrying about if we could get this done now. The cost of the surgery was $4200.00. Our guy is home and happy and so are we knowing that Trupainon was there for us when we needed it. Thanks again guys for the job well done. I do recommend Trupanion to fellow pet owners as the one.Danielle

Not up front on coverage & exclusions

I signed up for their 30-day free trial. The trial activation form says that this 30-day period is full coverage. IT IS NOT!!! It is limited coverage, which I found out after my puppy was diagnosed with a condition not covered. After 2 weeks, the company finally responded to say that I would have had to 'upgrade' the trial for the full coverage during the trial period. Their website does NOT say this. When I tried to upgrade, it wanted me to start paying immediately instead of at the end of the 30 day free period. Needless to say, I will be getting my insurance from another company. If Trupanion can't be upfront about everything, I don't want to do business with them

Very happy with Trupanion

The claim was handled very quickly and the cheque was received within a week. The payment was exactly as expected for my coverage.

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.
