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.

Trupanion is wonderful!

Our dog had to have unexpected surgery. It cost over $2000. I filed a claim with Trupanion that was super simple. They processed it within two days and we got our check with a week! We couldn't believe how efficient and true to the policy that they were. I would highly recommend this company and getting pet insurance. We never would have expected using it but if we wouldn't have had insurance, this whole surgery would have turned a horrible s situation way worse with a bill that we would have been solely responsible to pay. Trupanion made things just a bit more tolerable!

BUYER BEWARE

BUYER BEWARE: I signed up with Trupanion in 2013 after my dog had to have spinal surgery. Due to the cost of the surgery and rehab I wanted protection in case this happened again. Trupanion knew of the previous spinal surgery when they signed me up, assuring me that if my dog needed spinal surgery again in the future she would be covered. In April of 2017 a Veterenarian was doing a routine exam on my dog and injured her back. I took my dog to the spinal Dr to have her checked out since she was in discomfort. Mind you this is the 1st back problem my dog has had since the surgery in 2013. When I submitted the paperwork to Trupanion I was denied coverage because it is considered a pre-existing condition. I argued the point that she was injured by a person and this is an acute situation not a pre-existing. Still they denied my claim citing the 2013 surgery, so basically I have been paying for 4 years for nothing and never had coverage for the one thing I was trying to protect myself from. If you google pet insurance Trupanian is not even in the top 10. My suggestion would be to run from these people, cancel your policies immediately and go with some one else.

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.
