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.

Beyond Expectations!

Our last dog was terminally ill and had huge veterinary bills at the end of his life, so we were sure to cover our new puppy with insurance. I was skeptical that it would benefit him, especially at such a young age, but I knew premiums are lower if you start young. Our puppy ate one of those suncatcher suction cups and required tests and eventually emergency surgery... $4K total! Our primary veterinarian works directly with Trupanion, so we never pay more than the deductible (per illness for LIFE, wow!) and then our 10%. We have confirmation of covered amounts in minutes. Our surgeon does not work directly with Trupanion but submitting the claim was literally as easy as taking a picture and we had confirmation of covered amounts in a day. The specialty imaging does not work with Trupanion and was at first not covered due to the way it was billed, but after getting a slow response, one call to Trupanion resolved the issue after they contacted them on our behalf. We truly only paid our $150 and our 10% and all the refunds were deposited straight to our checking account. The entire case was paid and done well before our puppy's staples were out! I always spoke with a live person who was caring, concerned and understanding. This incident occurred just after our year anniversary and our rates had increased a few dollars but I would gladly pay even more knowing now how reliable Trupanion is.

Love Trypanion pet insurance

I never had pet insurance on any of my pets in the past. When I brought our newly adopted 4 month old kitten to the vet I had seen a pet insurance display. She had received a clean bill of health but I decided to purchase it along with the vet's yearly health plan. She had no issues at her 1 year checkup but a severe heart mirror was heard on her 2 year visit. The insurance paid for the echo cardiogram and is now paying 90% of her daily medication she will be taking the rest of her life. Thank you Trupanion!

Worth Every Penny!

The best thing I ever did was get pet insurance for my cats. I love these guys like family and it's great to not have to worry about how to pay for their care when they get sick or injured, which they do. I still have credit card debt from taking care of Dudley, my cat for 19 years. I would still treat him as I did, and I don't care about the bills, but if I had insurance when I had him, I just wouldn't have these bills. It's money I could have used to help with rescues, or even a possible vacation.

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.
