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.

Constantly high rate increase

Trupanion has some interesting wording choices that are very fishy to costumers. For example, saying that the rate doesn't increase when your pet ages could simply mean that the rate doesn't go up on my pet's birthday but it will definitely go up every year. Also having no limits for which % the rate can go up is very abusive, I had my rate go up 20% in the first year and 50% in the second year, for a matter of fact I had no claims at all and enrolled when my pet was 8 weeks old. Another misleading statement is saying that your pet won't be penalized for being "unlucky", but you get no benefits at all for having a "lucky" pet, you will still get a tremendously high rate increase. Quoting for an address change also increased the rate to 50% on top of the previous 50% increase, and the answer we receive is about "veterinary costs in that area" which is completely untrue since that new area has cheaper vet prices compared to the current area. In the past, I have recommended Trupanion to all my friends, which will no longer be the case, with abusive rate increases it's not affordable at all and could be a complete scam when your rate constantly increases on high percentages every year. If you're not ready to have your rate increasing randomly and unexpectedly every year do not get this insurance by the time your pet is 5 years and you can no longer afford paying for it you'd wish you didn't sign up for this bait and switch

Trupanion is so easy!

Trupanion was wonderful on every claim I submitted. On the last one my dog was so sick I unfortunately had to put him down. During such a stressful sad time, Trupanion was wonderful. They made it so easy for the vet to immediately put through each invoice as they worked to save my fur baby. At the end I very easily just paid my portion of the whole bill to the vet. Also, they almost immediately cancelled my policy so I wouldn’t have to deal with that. Thank you Trupanion!

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.
