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.

Without the insurance,
Without the insurance, we wouldnt have been able to have surgery done on our beloved pet, which would have meant the unthinkable. Being on a fixed retirement income, the insurance was a godsend.

Thank you, Trupanion!
Trupanion, you’ve converted me. I was one of those people that thought pet insurance was silly. My thinking was, “It’s a dog. Yes, she’s a family member and we love her; but she is a dog, we don't want to prolong her life if she's in pain just so we can have more time with her.”
Then everything changed starting in May of last year when our 9 ½ year old Bouvier des Flandres, Lilly Pop, was diagnosed with Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia (ITP). Essentially, she had ZERO platelets in her blood and was in danger of spontaneous bleed out. She was bleeding in her gums and internally. After a 5 day stay at the veterinary hospital, which included a padded crate and a weak dosage of chemotherapy delivered intravenously, she was allowed to come home with 8 prescriptions we would be giving her 2 times per day. Over the next few months, I think she had most all adverse reactions to the 2 strongest medications required to treat this disease, before we were able to begin gradually decreasing the dosage. At 6 months, she was completely off the medication and her platelets were back to normal and holding and she was back to her normal self, a 10 year old permanent puppy.
We are so thankful to have this beautiful, fun-loving easy going, gentle dog with us for the following years that are left. We would have probably not spent the >$10,000 to possibly prolong her life, as there were no guarantees the treatment was going to work. Having the insurance, meant we did not have to make that difficult decision.
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.
