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.

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.

Great experience with Trupanion
We are so grateful for the help and support Trupanion as provided us. Max has never had any medical issues needing an insurance claim up until November of last year, and then all of a sudden it has been constant vet visits for one thing or another, without Trupanion we might not have been able to provide Max with the proper care he needed. With Trupanion our stress and anxiety was basically diminished, we knew our Vets could direct bill them and we wouldn't have to worry about large up front costs. They make the process so easy and even reaching out to them for customer support has been so simple, barely a wait time for the online chat. I cannot recommend Trupanion enough. The peace of mind they provide is worth more than I can express.

Certainly Didn't Take the Sting out of an Unfortunate Situation
Our girl, unfortunately, got into a porcupine today (Saturday). We were able to find an emergency vet open about an hour away. We thought great it's only going to cost us the deductible, though still enough. When all was said and done, we thought Trupanion would be covering approximately $350 worth of the total - nope $96.93, barely the cost of a month's worth of insurance.
We will be contacting Trupanion on Monday to confirm the expenses and their 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.
Trupanion was founded in 2000 with the goal to help pet owners plan for the unexpected and take the cost out of the care equation. They believe that the pets—and the veterinary professionals who help them—deserve better. That’s why Trupanion is a proud member of the North American Pet Health Insurance Association.
