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.

Nothing but a scam

Trupanion waived all existing conditions as a promo with my vet for a very very expensive pet plan. After taking thousands and thousands of dollars of mine, I finally sent in my first claims. The first couple went towards my deductible. But I have learned this is nothing but a scam. They waived the preexisting condition but they don't tell you that means that anything your dog has ever taken as a medication or had as a mild issue simply will not be covered. My dog had cancer. But because she was given a pain medication for arthritis in the past, that means they won't cover it. If she was given any pain meds for any non related to the cancer medications in the past, they wont cover them. One of the agents even said to me that "I should have had her enrolled as a puppy if I wanted them to cover those meds."I paid Trupanion all that money and even though my dog had several thousands of dollars of medical expenses related to brain and liver cancer they have covered less than $300. Talk about stealing your money. It was nothing more than bait and switch. They baited me with the help of my vet who KNEW that insurance companies do this by waiving any and all previous conditions like her knee replacement etc. And if her body had a slightly elevated liver enzyme for YEARS which the Vet told me was just her normal genetic make up. Trupanion won't cover it. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY. They add insult to injury. You will lose your companion AND Trupanion will steal your money. My vet is just as guilty. This is a scam.

They are way to slow to pay claims

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.
