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.

It's worth it!
I have had Trupanion for a current dog (who has not needed any treatment) and two previous dogs. Among the usual doggy concerns there were two expensive, unexpected and unusual ones. My 12 year old dog had emergency surgery for laryngeal paralysis (about $4500). Not only did Trupanion pay the 90% (minus the exams, as per their policy), they called the night my dog went into the hospital to tell us they had already approved the claim and to just work on helping him get better. My 6 year old dog was diagnosed with lymphoma and we chose to do chemo. Trupanion paid 90% of the $500 to $900 weekly treatments costs over four months. They paid all tests, drugs, treatments recommended and when we needed to go to the US for further treatments, they continued to pay without question. When we lost both dogs last year, they sent sympathy cards signed by all of the staff. It is not cheap coverage, but I know that I can make decisions based on what is best for my dogs, not on money--- and that is wonderful peace of mind.

We've had three major health crisis with our dog (who is only 9 months old) and trupanion has covered what they have promised to from the start without any hassle or delay.

I recommend Trupanion to everyone...family, friends, anyone thinking about getting a pet, people in the waiting room at the vet.

Liars
Liars! All use of Vetrinary food is considered a pre existing condition! You pay high fees every month just to get truned down at the emergency clinic with yout pet! OUR VETRINARIAN REVIEWED EVERY FILE ON OUR PET AND SPOKE TO TRUPANION EXPLAINING THAT THERE WAS NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITION AND THAT THE PREVENTATIVE USE OF SPECIFIC FOOD DID NOT INDICATE A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION! Their review process doesn't even involve professionals! If there was a rating lower than 1 I would have picked that! Cancelled our plan - there are waaay better companies out there DO NOT PICK THESE GUYS!

Best value with no condition limits or lifetime limits.
Best value with no condition limits or lifetime limits. It is worrying, however, how much premiums are increasing in urban areas such as Vancouver, BC. Still, despite the increases, I would still recommend Trupanion over anyone else.
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!
