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 been with Trupanion for 4 years…

I have been with Trupanion for 4 years and they have been nothing but useless. They determine everything to be a pre-existing condition. My vet even said my dogs neck pain has nothing to do with his leg pain but somehow Trupanion makes up its own diagnosis which doesn’t even make sense and isn’t even a confirmed diagnosis by the vet! They say the symptoms are related to possible intervertebral disc disease when my dog has never even been diagnosed! So if my dog was jumping for his ball and fell on his side and has a sore leg, he all of a sudden is diagnosed with a disease as per Trupanion and not my vet!??? This is their own guess! I’m not one to write reviews but I am shocked with how this company is run. Save yourself and open up a saving account and put money away.

Stress Free

Excellent service, and no added stress or worries during an already stressful time with our beautiful dog. Thank you for being there for us; we liked that the animal hospital was able to put in the paperwork immediately, which really lightened the load we were feeling. We would have had to put our dog down if it wasn't for Trupanion. We didn't have to fear about being overcharged. Trupanion stayed true to their values. We are so appreciative!!! Sophie is healing well despite that fact that it has been difficult to keep our active, young girl "quiet" so that she can to heal quickly. I think she knows that she was in danger of losing her life, because she is even more affectionate than before her accident.

What exactly does Trupanion cover?

I bought my senior dog pet insurance through Trupanion knowing that his arthritis and allergies wouldn't be covered, because I didn't want to make major end-of-life decisions based on my budget. Two years and $1,500 of insurance later, and he has a suspected spinal stroke or disc rupture. A MRI costs almost $5k. This is the exact scenario I bought the insurance for...and Trupanion refuses to cover it based on the preexisting condition of arthritis. Now, I'm not a doctor but I do know that arthritis and a spinal injury are NOT the same thing. Over 2 years, they've covered some vet visits, but I've never actually made it past any of the deductibles. Their agents are friendly and they process claims sort of quickly, but that's not very helpful when they don't actually cover anything.

Trupanion is the only insurance you don’t say no to.

My vet at Vellore Woods recommended we get Trupanion insurance. My dog is not even a year old and Trupanion has already helped us so much. You will not regret getting this insurance.

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. Our members know we’re ahead of the pack, because there’s pet insurance—then there’s Trupanion: 24/7/365 Member Support—yes, even on holidays 20+ years of experience $2 Billion paid in claims Over 800,000 pets protected Unlimited Payouts The only provider that can pay your veterinarian directly at checkout* Accepted everywhere in the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Australia * At participating hospitals Trupanion is a registered trademark owned by Trupanion, Inc.
