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.

What a relief !

I was uncertain if specific medical treatments my dog needed in surgery would be covered. I was very relieved when the Trupanion operator confirmed coverage to me, over the phone, in advance of the treatments.

Impressive customer service!

When I adopted a family of rescued cats (mom and two kittens) my vet's office suggested I enroll them in this pet insurance policy. Within a couple of years the little female kitty developed kidney disease. Over the course of 1-1/2 years the cost of treatment exceeded $8000. It would have been financially difficult to cover those costs without this insurance. Anytime a claim was submitted I received an email that Trupanion was processing it, and I would have a check within two weeks. My precious little kitty was doing well with fluids, etc but then a kidney stone moved and there was nothing the internal specialist could do to save her. Shortly after the last claim was processed, I received a sympathy card from Trupanion. That was unexpected from a large company, but says a lot about their commitment to doing as much as possible to help pets and pet parents. I have recommended this insurance to every friend who shares their life with a pet.

money down the toilet

My 2 dogs have been covered by Trupanion for over 3 years. I have spent over 5k in premiums and received back about 1k in coverage. I have had several denials, including and most recently a denial of an appeal. They claim that a history of ear infections and allergies may or may not be related to the tumor that was surgically removed from my dog's ear. My vet said that the conditions are unrelated. I am furious. I have sent this company 4k for absolutely nothing. I am not done fighting this and will take it as far as I can go, but honestly, I wish I didnt have to. Save your money! (PS- They are super polite on the phone though ....lol)

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.
