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.

Easy, Fast, Friendly, Worry-free

Trupanion is a pleasure to work with. My questions are always answered, and I was paid the benefits (after meeting the deductible) in a timely manner. They are very clear what is covered and what is not, since there are always exclusions. I had a complex issue after a rare leg fracture that required both my vet and a specialist surgeon (thank goodness surgery was not required). Each doctor had to sign the claim forms (each with a different diagnosis), and Trupanion handled it properly and promptly. One interesting note: After learning the surgeon prescribed physical therapy, Trupanion added a physical therapy rider on the policy "after" the accident without any question. My young Labrador now receives $130 physical therapy treatments (using an underwater treadmill) that only cost me $13. He loves the treatment (and the therapists) which I believe helped him recover 100%. No sign of lameness, and return to symmetrical muscle tone, which makes us both extremely happy. Didn't think I would need to use this insurance, but an accident can unexpectedly happen at any time.

Great customer service - recommend to anyone

When we found out our dog had a tumor on her adrenal gland, I was not counting on getting much back from our insurance company. I figured it would be a complicated and stressful process to make claims, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The staff at Trupanion was extremely helpful, supportive, and fast in processing the claims. We got back exactly as much as we thought we would - overall, it's a great deal and I've been recommending Trupanion to all my friends and family. They made a stressful time much easier.

Prompt Service

Once again Trupanion turned around the claim for Spirit's Thyroid tests within 2 days.It gives such peace of mind knowing Trupanion will always be there to assist. I have three dogs and have been a Trupanion/VetInsurance customer for over seven years and have never had an issue with their service and believe me with three active dogs I have neeeded them often.

Saya's Urinary track infection

Saya got sick with a urinary track infection, when wanted to pee she would squad and bark a lot I supposed because it really hurt. She vomited the same day and we even found blood in her pee. The vet told us what she might have and performed some tests. Between the treatment and all the antibiotics the bill was a little over $500. Trupanion covered what they were supposed to covered, though they took a little long to solve the claim.

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.
