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.

Simple but extremely wonderful peace of mind......

Trupanion is one of the top rated pet insurers. I haven't had to file a claim (thankfully!)for any thing catastrophic and hope I never do but my vet highly recommended Trupanion. For the price, the coverage, and peace of mind it is a no brainer. My pets are like the rest of my kids in that I'll do whatever needs to be done to take care of them!

Remarkable customer service and care

I had been with this insurer for 10 years. Recently, my golden doodle suffered a rare blood disease and the end result, after many tests and treatments was to put her to sleep. During the entire 10 years, and most especially in the past few weeks, the people at trupanion went way above and beyond. I never write reviews but I felt it important to mention that this is a business that cares about the customers they serve. Thank you again for your incredibly compassionate and excellent service.

Excellent, but pricey

I had our old Samoyed dog insured with Trupanion and was very happy I did. Wish I could have afforded it for all my pets. Maybe one time in six they mistake something for a new illness and apply the deductable again but this has always been easily sorted out. Sometimes the connection between illnesses isn't obvious - especially as different vets and hospitals will explain the same problem in different ways ('cervical neuopathy' is the cause of 'walking difficulty' etc., not two different things.) They paid thousands without blinking. Must be at least $10k. Well worth it. MRIs, stem cells, gastric torsion surgery. He had better healthcare than I did. We are currently stuck with Figo for six pets. No claim they can't turn into a complete nightmare disaster. With Trupanion you get a diagnosis and your worries are over. With Figo your pet gets sick and your troubles are just beginning.

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.
