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.

Good luck getting any sort of claim coverage
I would not recommend Trupanion to anyone.
We have a French Bulldog who is now 5 and needed the BOAS surgery. Trupanion refused to cover it claiming it’s a “pre-existing condition”. Our vet fought them on this because there were no signs of this during her initial check up as a puppy but it’s a breed specific condition that can come up during their life so they still denied it. We went ahead with the surgery as she was having difficulty breathing and after some complications, she’s now fully healed, breathing normally and living a much better quality of life.
Our vet has been fighting with Trupanion for several months and even Trupanions rep said it’s ridiculous not to cover this but low and behold, they have denied all of our claims. Our vet has exhausted all options and we’re left paying for a crappy insurance provider so we have “peace of mind” but they deny about 70% of our claims with some sort of excuse. Our premiums increase every year (with or without any claims).
To top it off, they have told our vet that starting next year, they are going to “quietly” deny all claims related to a breed specific condition.
Again, I wouldn’t recommend them. 0 stars if possible.

No hassles & Very pleased
TruPanion Canada gave us no trouble when we had to bring our Chihuahua in for a wheezing/bloating issue. The vet had a few concerns regarding both and ran some blood work, x-rays, and performed a full exam. We have a top tier coverage from TruPanion, and though pricey on a monthly basis, it was worth it when we needed to use it. The claim was submitted and TruPanion approved it within moments, there was no hassles, no arguments, no run around's it was done which made it much easier on our pocketbook as a thousand dollar bill was halved. Thank you to TruPanion for the coverage you provide, our little pup is back home and were happy to know that she is getting the best care possible (and feeling better) for her thanks to TruPanion.

Always friendly professional prompt service for the past 9+ years.
Always friendly, professional, prompt service for the past 9+ years. Most appreciated. Trupanion offers a comprehensive coverage plan(s), flexible deductibles, affordable rates, and the coverage limit(s) arenât matched by most other insurers operating in this arena. The basis of claim payout-90% coinsurance, subject to deductible, if applicable, no limit coverage is one of the reasons, when asked about pet insurance by friends, family, people in general, I recommend Trupanion above other insurers. Over the past years Iâve been able to adequately care for my dogâs health needs/issues because youâve helped make that doable, possible. Thank you.
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.
