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.

Help is at Hand

We cannot imagine how we would have managed without the sensitive caring staff of Trupanion as our dog journeys his way back to health. Honest, caring, effective- efficient- this company has helped us help Griff get the care he needs. There are no horror stories here- for the past 8 years, Trupanion has honoured claim after claim- Accidents and illness can come out of nowhere- with Trupanion- I believe they really do care as much as we do that animals get the best care they can. Lucky lucky us.

Trupanion Guilty of Fraud

I took my dog to the vet for a torn right front dew claw on 2/13/15. The total charge was $263. I did not meet the $500 deductible but was told by the claims adjuster that this amount would count toward the deductible on any future injuries to the dew claw. I took my dog back to the vet on 9/30/15 for an infection of this very same dew claw that had grown back. The charge from the vet was $231.42 This time Trupanion claimed that it was a "new incident" and that the previous deductible could not be applied to this incident. My vet was very disturbed by this and encouraged me to appeal the claim. They rejected the appeal and stated the following "While the current claim is for a torn dewclaw on the same foot and nail that was affected on 2/13/2015, there is no medical basis on which to systemically relate the current claim to the same underlying etiology. It appears the incidents are consistent with separate and unrelated traumas as there were no further abnormalities noted with the torn dewclaw after treatment in February 2015." WTF? If this isn't insurance fraud, I don't know what is! I am appealing this to the State Dept of Insurance. My vet has said that she will testify on my behalf that they are guilty of egregious fraud.

The absolute best insurance we could ever have!

We have a Vizsla who loves to swallow things he shouldn't. He is 6 years old and has had 3 surgeries . Trupanion was right there the whole way. Never once a problem..and always very kind! I recommend them to everyone I know...and will never have another pet without having the peace of mind knowing we have Trupanion. Thank you Trupanion....

Fantastic

My large Chocolate Lab, Riley, just had a second ACL repair. He is 5 years old and had the first repair at the age of 2. Trupanion has come through for him both times! He will soon be running with me again thanks to Trupanion. I am glad we signed him up as a puppy.

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.
