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.

Trupanion...Only the Best for Your Best Friend

We are so happy we purchased Trupanion for our boy Buster, almost 10, when he was a pup and for our new puppy Jaxon. Over the years, we have had claims for TPLO surgery for a torn ACL and more recently for liver disease. It is a comfort knowing you can provide the best care for your best friend without having to worry about cost. Claims are processed very quickly and staff are very professional and kind. Thank you Trupanion!

Exceptional claims service.

Although not the least expensive of available options, the ease of submitting claims and the speed with which they are processed is quite outstanding. Phone support is also efficient, friendly and "above and beyond". What is disappointing, however, is the fact that the examination fee is NOT covered. This is often at least 50% of the cost of a typical visit, so in reality, the deductible for each visit is the cost of the examination PLUS the policy deductible amounts per condition and for each year. In reality, pet insurance is really for major or catastrophic types of medical claims. Think of it in that way. I doubt that very few if any people actually recover the premiums they have paid over the average lifespan of a pet from the claim payments you receive from the insurer. If you have the discipline to take the $100 per month in premiums and put it away in a savings account, you will most certainly be money ahead. It would also allow you to pay for one or two catastrophic type of injury or illness claims along the way. The only time it would be a net loss is if you have the misfortune of having a serious injury or illness early on in the pets life.

I am very satisfied with Trupanion.

My cat was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease in January. Since then she has visited the vet many times for blood work, urine tests, etc. Trupanion has paid my claims promptly. This is my first experience with pet insurance and I am very pleased.

Trupanion - you've been awesome!!!

I was reluctant to buy pet insurance; however, after much thought and researching various pet insurance options, I landed with Trupanion. My 1 year old Alapaha Bulldog recently injured her leg. Without Trupanion I would not have been able to afford the surgery. Trupanion has been very helpful in answering questions. Quick to reply to estimate and very timely with processing claims. I would not hesitate in recommending Trupanion. The biggest gift, I was able to give my puppy the surgery she needed. Without it, she would have lived a life in pain and on pain meds. Thank you Trupanion for allowing me to help my bestfriend! Having peace of mind knowing the surgery would be covered allowed me to make the best decision for my little girl!

Trupanion was a huge help

I had only had my insurance a short while before Colette was diagnosed with a torn ligament in her knee. Nobody likes dealing with insurance companies, but all of the staff at Trupanion were extremely nice and pleasant to deal with. Trupanion covered the costs of the TPLO surgery and the follow up. I am very grateful.

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.
