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 is a HUGE SCAM!

I am canceling my plan after 5 years of paying so much money to this scam of a company! I signed up when my dog was just a year and a half years old after I read such great reviews online! I started out paying $74 per month for a plan with a $250 deductible and slowly payments kept increasing until I was paying over $85 per month when I submitted my first claim when my dog was suffering from an ear infection- my claim was denied, stating there were missing files from previous vet clinic records. I sent many emails, with more documents and tons of proof he never suffered from ear infections! I sent copies of every visit documented at both clinics, and continuously arguing and denying their statements that this was a pre-existing illness! I finally received a cheque for $48 on my $380+ in vet fees. As I was very upset and had argued my point as much as possible, I called considering to cancel my plan. They convinced me to increase my deductible and pay lower premiums/monthly fees. I now have a plan with a higher deductible, and my monthly fees began at $48 with the changes made, but have since creeped up to over $54 per month over the year and guess what, I just submitted a claim for an injury my dog suffered to his knee while running at the Dogpark. We paid $850 for xrays and diagnostics and again they have denied this claim stating pre-existing degenerative causes - how is an injury a pre-existing illness you scammers?!?! They are basing this on a visit to the vet when my dog was stung by a bee but when we had gone to the vet to see why he was limping, our vet ( not so smart) recommended X-rays to determine the cause for swelling/inflammation. I’m so angry because the 4 years of premiums I paid could have been well worth more in an investment that I could have used to pay for vet bills as we’ve gone along. They denied my coverage based on bullshit and I am canceling so I don’t give the another cent! If your looking for pet insurance, this is not the one to choose! Don’t believe the fake good reviews! Trupanion is a HUGE SCAM!!!

I was surprised by how much I had to pay out of pocket for the bill.

I was surprised by how much I had to pay out of pocket for the bill. I have a $250 deductible and ended up paying almost the whole bill which was almost $400.

Saved my dog's mobility

Trupanion made the claims experience easy and seamless. I am satisfied with absolutely every aspect of my claims and I feel confident my dogs are protected without hassle. I would not have been able to afford Charlie's hip surgery without Trupanion being there to help.

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.
