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.

Excellent Customer Service
I have always had a great time with Trupanion, from getting a free month at the start to having the ease of direct billing. What set them apart was the great customer service I experienced. They were personable, professional, and made me feel like they cared about my request even though it was small. Also my wait was short and having the service open 24/7 helps with my very busy schedule.

Is Trupanion Reliable Coverage? Their Rates Increase Yearly!
I have had Trupanion coverage for about 15 years. When I started out they were fantastic about claim coverage for my pets and their fee's were reasonable. There are pro's as they have evolved, quick reinbursement, easy for my vet to submit directly for payment, uploading invoice via their app etc. However, as our relationship with Trupanion has progressed, my rates have gone up steadily each year, about $5 per per pet per month. The claims are now picked apart, divided into multiple issues so you are paying your deductable for each issue, even if problems are related or diagnosis is still underway by your vet. We took our commatose dog to our vet at 5pm he was unresponsive, they could not care for him overnight, they did not have 24 hour care, he was transfered to overnight care, then in the morning transfered again to specialist for diagnosis. Each veternarian facility we paid our deductible again, as well as the "office visit", even though he had been transfered for the same issue the entire time. Each invoice has a new claim number even if it's all related to the same problem creating issues on payment becasue they do not throughly go through the notes to see if its an exsisting claim. They tell you once you sumbit the invoice if they have further questions they will contact the vet, NOT TRUE. They process as new deduct deductibles and "office" fees, if you have to appeal the case its painstakingly difficult. The follow up is terrible and you will be responsible to contact your vet for the necessary vet notes etc dispite their stating they will. We currently still have a claim in "appeal/review" since September, dispite my intervening and following up with both Trupanion and our treating vet, making sure Trupanion had all the details they needed to resolve. Their follow up is minimal with you. Bottom line, Trupanion does provide good coverage but over the years has nickle and dimed us for all they can, our rates have constantly gone up and their customer service and resolution is minimal at best with a few exceptions! You are better off going to a specialist with multiple capabilities opposed to going to your primary vet. Even if you are referred for further testing each facility you will have to pay their "evaluation" fee regardless your vet has sent you there for continued care. At this point we cannont change insurance for our one beloved dog as he will now have preexisiting issues/conditions for new pet insurance, but are in the process of seeking other coverage for our other pets and will not be back. Its sad Trupanion has raped us with constant coverage manipulation and yearly increases.

Direct billing is the biggest perk
Direct billing is the biggest perk and their customer service is outstanding! I always have an easy and pleasant time with them on the phone.
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!
