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.

Trupanion has been a lifesaver in the past and we are extremely happy to continue with them.

If not for Trupanion our dear pug Sadie would not have lived to the age she did. Knee surgery, eye surgery and finally degenerative myelopathy where ultimately she required a four wheel wheelchair were all affordable due to our Trupanion insurance. We have now adopted a two year old mixed breed dog (Ryder) and would not have any other insurance than Trupanion to care for his needs now and in the future.

Extremely friendly and incredibly efficient

I truly cannot say enough good things about Trupanion and their care. In the beginning stages when I was weighing out my options, their customer service was the fastest, the most straightforward in answering questions, and answered what I asked with honesty--not trying to swindle me. I recently called regarding my pup Finnigan's diagnosis of Pneumonia (I did not intend to claim for it because I figured they wouldn't cover it) and she urged me to put a claim in. Every time I call with a question they give me all the information I could ask for and phrase it very simply. They are incredibly speedy with their processing times, it was my first claim and I had my response and money back within about a week and a half. I got everything back aside from the vet check fee (which they don't cover) and all I had to pay was my $200 deposit. The costly xrays and diagnostics and meds were all paid for. Their prices are fair and their services are clear. I truly appreciate them as a company and will definitely continue to suggest them to others.

$40,000.00 saved with Life saving policy

Our beloved doberman Justice developed idiopathic epilepsy at age 3 years, 6 months. His condition has progressively worsened, requiring many expensive diagnostic studies. His medication bill alone is in excess of $10,000.00 annually. His epilepsy is now manageable, and now Justice lives a happy active life with very little disruption from the excessive seizures he was experiencing. Justice's treatment has cost over $50,000.00 so far. We would not have been able to afford to keep Justice alive were it not for the Trupanion pet health insurance policy. The premium cost around $1500.00 per year. The claims are always processed and paid promptly without any delay or problem.

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.
