Pets can be full of surprises-so their insurance coverage shouldn’t be. That’s why Trupanion 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.
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.
To put it simply, there is a reason why 98.7% of Trupanion members stay enrolled every month.

AWESOMEEE EXPERIENCE REGISTERING
Great experience signing up. My customer service representative was extremely knowledgable and took the time to answer all the questions I had. Even during the registration process, still continued to answer my questions and give guidance where he could. I hope I never had to use Trupanion, but if I do, hopefully I will have the same experience.

Good experience, best coverage
Good customer service. Jasmeen Cavalli helped sign me up and she was super helpful. The insurance seems like it is good. I like that your premiums do not increase based on your pet's age. I also like that the deductible is per condition, but I wish that there was a yearly max or something like that in case you have multiple conditions in a short time period. Its also tricky that you cannot lower your deductible or add the riders after 30 days. It would be nice if you could do this once a year or something like that. 30 days is also a long wait period for your coverage to begin. The premiums are also a bit higher than most other companies, but I am hoping it will be worth it long term. I also like that Trupanion can pay your pet directly. It is also nice that customer service is there 24/7 in case you need them.

Horrific Experience with this company
I was looking for insurance that offered more coverage so switched from Healthy Paws to Trupanion. Big Mistake. I called first to make sure there would be no pre-existing condition clauses before I did and was assured there would not be so I signed up and canceled Healthy Paws. My puppy had two incidents, one was when he ate through an electrical cord and the other was for shaking for some unknown reason. Trupanion decided these two incidents constituted a foreign body exclusion on his policy. Even after I verified prior to joining it would not be. There was never a foreign body found in my dog. His shaking ended up being from fear of an appliance in my home. Trupanion decided they would not cover any bill for foreign body because of those two incidents. Again, was proven he had NO FOREIGN BOBY. I was able to go back to Healthy Paws and they agreed, no foreign body. DO NOT CHOOSE TRUPANION. They lied to me, misrepresented themselves to me and falsely claimed my dog had a foreign body when all medical records showed he had not. The person I spoke to before deciding to switch from health paws to them stated he was one of the founders of the company to try to get me to sign up. I later found he was not. Total dishonesty. DO NOT CHOOSE TRUPANION, THEY ARE DISHONEST.
Monthly Cost
Your monthly premium is determined by multiple factors including your pet’s species, gender, breed, age, zip code, and the deductible amount you choose if your policy allows.
Coverage
Depending on your plan, the Trupanion policy pays up to 100% of your vet bill for all eligible expenses. There are unlimited payout limits, always and Trupanion will never increase or cancel your coverage because of claims you submit. Coverage includes new accidents and illnesses, hereditary, congenital, and chronic conditions, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, and much more. Trupanion prides itself on paying out more on the dollar than any other provider and has paid out nearly $2 billion in claims to date.
Payout Limits
The Trupanion policy* has no payout limits, so whether your pet needs one quick visit or a lifetime of care, your coverage won’t quit.
That can mean a big difference if your pet develops a chronic condition requiring extended care like allergies, diabetes, or even cancer.
Deductible
If your Trupanion policy has a deductible, you can customize it to fit your budget. You can choose from $50 to $1,000 in increments of $5, or choose to have no deductible at all. Trupanion deductibles are per-condition and good for the life of your pet. That means no annual resets-once a deductible is met, you never have to pay the deductible for that condition again.
Age Limits
All new pets can enroll from birth until their 14th birthday. Once your pet is enrolled, they can be enrolled for life
Waiting Period
Waiting periods vary by state. Please see your states policy for full coverage details.
However, 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 many other pet insurance providers, Trupanion does not cover pre-existing conditions. Whichever insurer you choose, it pays to enroll early!
