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.

100% worth having my pet insured!

I hesitate, like everyone else, about having my indoor cats insured. Is it worth it? Will I ever need it and if I do will insurance even cover? The answer to all those is yes! My cat ate a chewable pill meant for my dog. I turned around for a second and apparently it tasted good because it was immediately gone. I called the vet because I knew dosage had to be far beyond the dose for a much smaller animal. Sure enough, she had to be hospitalized for two days to flush it out. I was in a panic and thank goodness she ended up being okay. I called Trupanion and filed a claim. The associates were very friendly. I sent over the paperwork and the next day I received an email with details on the check I would be receiving. They paid 90%. I started her as a kitten so had a zero deductible. Compared to any human insurance I've dealt with this was so smooth. I was so happy I ended up insuring her..and so glad she is okay. No more chewable pills, just the gross ones they'll never touch unless we put it in a pill pocket...lesson learned.

So responsive and caring!

My cat has been treated for allergies for the longest time. Your response time on my claims has been phenomenal. You are much better than my health insurer! I will always be a loyal customer and I recommend you any chance I get. Keep up the good work!!

Amazing

I have written several reviews for Trupanion and will continue to do so. They are amazing - everyone who answers the phone is kind and helpful, they work with you to get claims resolved quickly. I recently had some surgery for my dog, Yoshi and they worked with me and the vet clinic to get the surgery pre-approved so my only out of pocket was my 10% as I have met the deductible. I cannot say enough good things about them. It is rare that a company does what they say they will with generosity, kindness and caring - they do. Trupanion is the best. I would recommend everyone get Trupanion for the pet companions.

Comforting!

Our precious 15 year old, Bichon suffered a seizure late on a Saturday night. We rushed her to an emergency pet hospital for care. She was there over night and the next day. She had numerous tests over the next week and Trupanion was there every step of the way. We received the first cheque even before all the tests were completed and we appreciated the peace of mind. Trupanion gave us very quick service which helped us give the care our dog needed.

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.
