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.

Awesome !!

After taking my dog in several times for bladder infections, my vet recommended Trupanion pet insurance. The best thing I ever did!! Amazing customer service. They take the time to listen and address all your concerns. I accidentally threw away a refund check and they were gracious enough to reissue it for me. I doubt that would happen with another company. I recently added my other dog to my policy as well. Love this company!! Woof!

A literal life saver

While yes Trupanion does not cover preexisting conditions and that has been disappointing with our frenchie Shilo's chronic dermatitis, having insurance allowed us to follow proper radiation treatment when Shilo was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year. They literally saved her life! We would not have been able to do the treatment otherwise, and Trupanion continues to cover her meds and additional treatment for this condition. They are so great that my dad and sisters also got Trupanion for their pets, and I will continue recommending them to everyone! When it came down to a life or death situation with our dog, Trupanion really came through for us.

so glad I have trupanion

I have been with trupanion for almost 8 years now and I have always been impressed with how easy it is to file a claim and how efficient the claim process is. I am kept informed via email every step of the way during the claim process and the claim is processed in a very timely better. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a pet especially a purebred.

One of My Best Decisions Ever!

I wish my own health insurance was as simple as Trupanion. I've been super pleased by the quick responses and ease of completing a claim form. I recommend to all my friends with dogs or cats.

Wish my own health insurance were this good!

We have had Trupanion for our terrier mix (now almost seven) since he was a pup, and we are so happy we got Trupanion. Ozzie has had a lot of unexpected issues: an acorn stuck in his throat when he was three months; a torn groin muscle at about two years; two attacks of pancreatitis due largely to his desire to eat absolutely anything he can get in his mouth; bites by large dogs twice. Trupanion has more than paid for itself, and the claims process is extremely easy and fast. I wish my own health insurance would spell out as clearly what is covered and what isn't.

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.
