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.

Awesome

Super easy to signup and the policy is quite clear. Super friendly staff. And the pricing is just right. I don’t feel like I’m breaking the bank to have my furballs covered.

Trupanion has always refunded/paid within minutes

My miniature Australian Shepherd has an ongoing illness, when the vet submits a payment request to Trupanion, they pay within minutes even before I leave the vet's office.

Yet Another Rate Increase !

Yet another rate increase with no change in coverage. Worthwhile, that is the question with increases follows: 2021 $109/yr 2022 $129/yr and then in 2023 $150/yr!!! That's a whopping $41 increase in 2 years …??? Being retired & on a fixed income , I am forced to seriously consider cancelling policy in favour of automatic savings account or other household savings. It should be noted that Increases over time are expected but ...those in line with inflation would be more palatable hence the mediocre rating. Otherwise, Trupanion meets contractual obligations of processing & coverage in timely manner.

Greedflation strikes again

I've not had any issues with the service of Trupanion, I feel like the people who are trusted to converse with customers are all quite nice and truly caring. But it's become clear that the top people in charge have lost touch with their customers and are hell-bent on making record profits. I just received an email saying my insurance premium went up 22% monthly - and the boilerplate statement (the same one they will post in reply to this review) reads this is an adjustment based on the market and my area... Let's be honest, it's never a decrease or a stagnant number, it's ALWAYS an increase. This is NOT an incremental change due to inflation, 22% is a massive amount of money month-over-month and this is absolutely a greedy ploy by the company trying to mask it as "inflation". After seeing other people get blindsided by similar increases it's disheartening. I'm saddened by the fact that people will now have to choose to remove protection for their beloved pets because of these massive increases just to stay afloat. Do better.

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.
