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.

We already have a dog insured with Trupanion so was looking for a quote to add new puppy of same breed.

We already have a dog insured with Trupanion so was looking for a quote to add new puppy of same breed.The breeder offered 6 weeks coverage under other pet insurance plan and they had sent a quote. Reached out to Trupanion to coordinate start of coverage. And advised to call back just before terminatuon of puppy coverage. I was also told that our vet could provide a certificate to waive waiting period but that this must be used in 24hrs. No effort ro assist to coordinate coverage. Also a small discount would be helpful for a second pet. Have been a Trupanion customer for ovee 8yrs.

SO far I have received any reimbursement of claims that I have submitted.

SO far I have received any reimbursement of claims that I have submitted. I have paid a lot in insurance premiums but feel that each time I submit a claim there is always some reason why I cannot get reimbursed.

The woman that helped me was amazing.

The woman that helped me was amazing. As a previous Supervisor please give her a raise. Other representatives lately when I tried to refer a friend referred to our pets as property and made a connection to our pets and auto/insurance policies. My family owns a well known insurance company. I am disgusted. That is the only reason I would rate not referring trupanion. This kind woman did not do that. I would refer my friends to her. No one else.

So my payment method got screwed around.

So my payment method got screwed around. You also took money out when I wasnt expecting and I got an NSF fee because of it. I also asked that payments come out on the 1st; called several times to confirm. August 2nd no payment? Had to call back in to resolve the issue once again.

I think the increase in rate is exorbitant and am concerned that it will be just as much every year, by which time your pet will be uninsurable with another company.

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.
