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.

The claim was sent

The claim was sent directly from the Vet, which was so convenient and then I received two follow up emails - one to let me know the claim was received and not to worry and one to go over the result of processing the claim.

Trupanion saved Bruno's life

When we welcomed out 12-week only English Bulldog, Bruno home almost 5 years ago, our Vet recommended Trupanion. She advised that with English Bulldogs, health issues will present within the first few years. Trusting in her guidance and already believing in Trupanion (this was our third dog in the program), we signed up Bruno and we are so thankful that we did. In the last 4 years Bruno has had all four legs operated on, an eye lift and a nose job, His seasional skin conditions and allergies makes us regular visitors to the vet clinic. Without Trupanion we would not have been able to get Bruno the medical attention he needs. We are so very grateful to have Trupanion on our side. Thank you so much. Steve, Paula & Alexander Gilbert

Disappointing,distrusting,and shady

They like to clearly advertise their coverage comes in effect 5 days after enrolment for injuries and 30 days for illness, but don’t be fooled! Find and read the whole policy very carefully and discover what injuries and illness they won’t cover, or have a longer waiting time before they may possibly cover. Why purchase insurance from them if you can’t use it. Money grab, useless, buyer beware

Trupanion is wonderful and they saved Jack's life!!

We will be forever grateful for signing up with Trupanion . Jack has had many health issues starting with seizures at 1.5 years old which required an ICU stay for a week at one point due to cluster seizures. A week after being home, he developed pneumonia and a collapsed lung which required another week in ICU. He has had bilateral TPLO surgeries as well as a benign tumour removed from his toe. Simply stated, Jack would not be alive today if it weren't for Trupanion. Thank you for saving Jack's life!

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.
