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.

Awful Service - don't return messagesand don't pay
I have used this service for about 3 years. I tried to cancel once, but was called and convinced to keep it at a lower rate. The very first claim I make was for an anal gland abscess in my dog. I submitted the claim with all the proper paperwork and it took about a week, but they got back to me and said it would be a week or so, but may be a couple of weeks since it was the first claim. Fast forward to a month later, and still nothing. I even got a customer satisfaction survey from them asking about my claim experience. I was so frustrated with this time delay that I sent a rather harsh email back to them, telling them I would be canceling my service once the claim was settled. Two weeks later and still nothing, so I go to check my account online and see that I've been locked out and need to call customer service. I then email them to cancel my account, stating that I will not pay any more premiums and to cancel immediately. The next day, I get charged for the next premium, and still no response to any of my emails. This company is like any other insurance company, trying to get away with as much as possible to not pay. I'm thinking it's kind of fishy that I told them I would cancel once I heard about the claim, and they stretched it to the next premium payment (and I still haven't heard from them). AVOID this company.

Other vet insurance companies make submitting claims much easier and pay much more often -

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.
Trupanion was founded in 2000 with the goal to help pet owners plan for the unexpected and take the cost out of the care equation.

Our members know we’re ahead of the pack, because there’s pet insurance—then there’s Trupanion:
