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.

Extremely Professional

Trupanion is an excellent company that will take care of your precious companion when you need it most. My story involves my 1 year and 1 month old Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle Mix): I noticed Kona was acting strange when she returned from a stay with my mother while I was out of the state I brought Kona into Riverside Animal Hospital in NYC, and Dr. R took the utmost care of Kona. They ran important diagnnostic tests and made sure that Kona was comfortable and at ease. Through the extensive testing, Dr. R found that Kona had swallowed a large piece of red plastic from a ball she tore apart. Since the piece was not astronomically big, we were able to give Kona the proper medication allotted by the Doctor, and she passed the piece of plastic the next day. I am forever grateful that Trupanion was there for me and Kona while we needed to do extensive testing and diagnostics. Without Trupanion, I would not be able to provide Kona with the best care that can be offered. Thank you Trupanion.

A great company.

Trupanion has been a wonderful Ins. Co. for us. I would recommend it to everyone who has a pet. They are reliable,caring and very prompt in their claims.Nobody wants their pet to suffer because a procedure is so expensive that you either put it off or decide against it. With Trupanion Insurance it's a no brainer!!! They make it so easy to get the needed help right away!

Reliable with prompt payments!

We have been with Trupanion since our dog was a pup. We can't speak highly enough about their amazing service and how quickly they handle their claims. Our dog has had many serious problems from eye surgeries to cushiness disease and severe dermatitis. All our claims were dealt with professionally and quickly.We count our blessings that we enrolled with Trupanion from the very outset.

Excellent coverage

Trupanion has been excellent to deal with. Even when we moved and switched vets they continued to cover his expenses without questions.

The Difference between life and death

I ended up at the emergency vet at 1am with my 3 year old dog Sampson who was showing signs of pain but didn't seem to be too bad.. long story short it ended up that his stomach was twisting, and we caught it just as it was starting! We were able to just say do what needs to be done, as Trupanion was available at such a random hour to do a pre-approval for the surgery. I am not sure what I would have done if I had to cover it all out of pocket... I try not to think about it. They explained again what would be covered, and what would not, and there were no surprises once the bill finally came. They covered his xrays, the surgery, the two day hospital stay and even the prescription food for recovery! I can't recommend this company enough!

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.
