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.

Biggest scam in pet insurance

We’re new pet parents and have a 5 month old puppy. Early on at 2.5 months he had a few runny bowel movements and we had it tested (everything came back normal) once we got him on the correct diet everything went back to normal. At 5 months old our puppy started squealing while making a bowel movement and was in a lot of pain. We found a piece of lego in his stool that he must have grabbed from our nephew over Christmas break. When he wasn’t acting normal and was still clearly in a lot of pain we took him to the vet hospital and they recommended x-rays and a few other test to see if he had a foreign object stuck somewhere in his system. Trupanion was an absolute joke suggesting since our dog had a stool sample tested a few months prior this was an “existing condition” So here we are right after Christmas paying a monthly premium pet insurance and also getting stuck with the large vet bill. If you choose to do pet insurance go with anyone but Trupanion. The staff on the phone were rude and didn’t seem to care at all. I’d rate them 0-10 if I could, absolute scam.

I feel scammed

Our Dog speared herself with a branch and had to be taken in for stitches - since the wound was deep they also put a drain for the wound in that had to be removed in two to three days. I thought no problem we have pet insurance. However what isn’t advertised is that they don’t pay for the visit to the emergency vet that costs $200, they don’t pay sales tax- nor would they pay for the removal or the drain or the stitches removed . $1400 of expenses - they paid $300. Granted my deductible was $500. The idea of pet insurance sounds great - but would have been further ahead putting my 70 per month in a contingency account rather than throwing it away on pet insurance where they just look for excuses not to pay..

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.
