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.

I thought you always counted the same condition that a pet has as under one deductible, turns out that was not changed until Jan 2016.

I thought you always counted the same condition that a pet has as under one deductible, turns out that was not changed until Jan 2016. You could do a better job of making your policy more visible. At this point I would not recommend your company to anyone.

Though I don't want to deal with the trouble of disputing claim refusals, the rep I spoke with was very clear about how to dispute claim rejections and was very honest about what would/would not be covered and why.

more than 1 claim on your pet causes reflection and introspect to understand the process of the claim with the insurance policy to know how to move through the process.

I was a bit disappointed that you guys don't have a system that lets you know which vets use the Trupanion Express.

I was a bit disappointed that you guys don't have a system that lets you know which vets use the Trupanion Express. Currently I go to Bay Animal Hospital in Manhattan Beach and they have the Express option and I love it! Im moving to Burlingame, CA and I'm looking for a vet that also has Trupanion Express and when I called Trupanion to get a list of vets that utilize that option, the girl said she didn't have such a list? I would think you would have that information somewhere in your files? Makes it a lot easier for us instead of calling around to all the vets in the area and asking them if they have it. I hope this would be a feature you have available in the future. Much more convenient.

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.
