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.

They wont cover our claim.

Bought insurance from this company for our kitten as soon as we got him, (8 weeks old). Shots always up to date, neutered, vet exams etc etc. Had him to the vet last week for more shots and exam, and they found that he still has a baby tooth and it needs to be pulled. (He's a year and a half old now). This is something that they list in their policy as being covered under the plan but, Trupanion refuses to cover this as they claim he has never had a dental exam, which is untrue, he has his teeth and mouth looked at everytime he goes to the vet. And he had not had any dental exams, we would not even know about this baby tooth. Very shady company. This battle is not over but I would be very leary about purchasing insurance through this company.Buyer beware!

Happy little dog!

My Maltese/Yorkie cross needs surgery to correct a problem with her knee. Trupanion was very helpful and responsive to all of the questions that I had. They helped me set up online banking so there were no delays in getting reimbursed. They are very well organized and polite. I would highly recommend this company for your pet insurance needs.

Don't be duped!

I've had Trupanion for my dog for almost 10 years and what a mistake! For a short time I also insured my cat but the one time I filed a claim, they wouldn't pay because they claimed it was related to a previous issue even though I had my vet call to say it was different. I pulled my cat's insurance at that point but kept my dog's because insuring an older pet is harder. The biggest issue though, was recently. After 10 years with literally only 1 small claim, my dog had a rough year last year with a number of claims. Coincidentally, only a few months later, my premium TRIPLED!!! After 10 years of the same rate. They say they don't raise the rates after a claim but that is absolute bull. And they've screwed me now because my dog is older and will be difficult to insure. What a terrible company.

Trupanion is a fantastic pet insurance company!

Trupanion has come through for me more than once, but this last time was undoubtedly the most important. My boy cat was diagnosed with a potentially life threatening form of pancreatitis, and his hospitalization and treatment were going to be severely expensive. I called customer service on Sunday evening, which is amazing in itself, and got a wonderful, kind rep named Michael who was unbelievably kind and patient with me while I cried on the phone with him. Then he assured me that the company could set up direct payment to my vet hospital, and that I would not need to come up with all that money up front. I can sleep at night knowing that 90% of my babie's care is covered, and that dealing with the paperwork will be easy. THIS COMPANY IS THE BEST!!

Two Thumbs Up

This is my first experience with pet insurance (I've owned two dogs previously with no insurance). I can not say enough good things about Trupanion so far!

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.
