Efficient
Claims process was very efficient. Terms of coverage are clear. I submitted my claim on a Friday evening and received word on approval the following Tuesday-no questions asked.

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.

Pet lovers, rejoice! Finally, a company that cares.
First. Whenever I have questions, i get to talk to a person on the phone. Who loves animals. Second. Never have I ever had a problem, with these guys. Happy to pay my premium to get the best service out there. Saved my butt (and my dog's butt) many times! Easy claim service, quick response time, and DIRECT BILLING (which could be just because I also love my vet... but you get the picture)! Yay!

The Best!
We ended up getting pet insurance after a long debate about whether it was better to simply just save money each month, or get pet insurance. After a family member spent thousands of dollars when their cat was ill, I decided to sign up. I'm so glad that we did because since that time my cat has been unwell twice, both times resulting in over $1000 in bills. She seems to be prone to a funny tummy so it is likely we will have to deal with this again. Trupanion has always quickly assessed our claim and sent reimbursement without question. They are able to get the information they need from speaking to the vet and past providers. While in Ontario it took a while for the cheque to come, but now living in Vancouver we received reimbursement in less than a week. I feel so good knowing that I have peace of mind and that I will never need to choose between my pet's comfort or life and money.

Professional, quick and easy to work with!
This was our first claim experience in eight years. Our dog came down suddenly with a life-threatening illness which required immediate and expensive specialized medical care. The emotional strain of having a sick 'family member' was enormous. Worrying about the unknown costs we were potentially facing made the situation much worse. Luckily, we were covered by Trupanion, so we could focus 100% of our energy on our dog's treatment and eventual recovery.
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.
