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.

I have had nothing but good experiences…

I have had nothing but good experiences with Trupanion. They are very fast at getting back to you when you put a claim in and unfortunately I have had to put in a nice few claims lately as my German Shepard ended up having to have knee surgery this summer and it was great to know he was getting the best care possible and I didn’t have to worry about the bill in the end as I had Trupanion so I was able to offer him the best so he would not be suffering. It is a relief when you have insurance and you just pay your monthly bill and when something goes wrong you don’t have to worry about what it is going to cost as my 2 dogs are my children. Thank you Trupanion!!!

Fibrocartilaginous Embolism

My Yellow Labrador suffered a Fibrocartilaginous Embolism back in March just as the COVID lockdown was starting to kick-in which resulted in Gabby having to be hospitalized for a couple of weeks resulting approximately $12,000 (CDN) in vet and rehab bills which were fully covered by Trupanion minus any deductibles. Claim process was simple in which the vet billed Trupanion directly thus eliminating the need to pay out of pocked. I've had Trupanion since Gabby was a pup and it's events like this that makes Trupanion worth the monthly fee.

Pet insurance is a must with our pack

Pet insurance is a must with our pack! It has allowed me to provide the best possible care for my dogs. ( better medical care that I get!) I have no hesitation taking them to specialists or requesting tests, xrays, ultrasound examinations. Please consider the peace of mind and comfort this brings to a sensitive or urgent situation.

Always been a pleasant experience.

I have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Trupanion since I first signed up about 6 or 7 years ago. Claims are always processed quickly, and thanks to Trupanion express, my vet clinic can direct bill which makes it WAY easier! If it weren't for Trupanion, I would not have been able to get emergency back surgery for my dog and give her the ability to walk again.

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.
