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.

Peace of Mind

I'm so glad that I invested in Trupanion pet insurance. My beloved kitties are elderly now and I didn't want cost to be a factor in any health related decisions as they get older. If you consider your pets to be part of the family, do yourself and them a favor and buy this insurance. They will have whatever medical care they need to maintain a good quality of life and you don't have to worry about the cost. Trupanion has been wonderful to deal with. They process claims quickly and customer service is great: they are accessible without long hold times and also very helpful. I highly recommend Trupanion.

love Trupanion

I have a toy Poodle that I got when she was 9 wks old. She started throwing up bile every now & then but I wasn't sure what the real issue was. After a few years of this my vet recommended a biopsy of her stomach...her diagnosis is inflammatory bowel disease. She is doing well now with medication and diet. Thanks to Trupanion all of my bills are paid at 90% and I don't have to worry about taking her to the vet.

Made what could be a hard few months much easier.

I signed my two cats up for Trupanion a few years ago. I recently took one of them into the vet for hepatic lipidosis and was told that the underlying cause was cancer. Treating the hepatic lipidosis itself was expensive, but making a decision about chemotherapy would've been impossible without Trupanion. I only had to pay the deductible once, since Trupanion recognized that these two conditions were associated. The claims process is easy and quick. All interactions I've had with Trupanion on the phone or via email have been professional and caring. They even were able to predict my needs and set me up for direct deposit and sent me pre-approval forms so that I could get my pet the best possible care. It took a lot of stress out of the decision-making process and has allowed us to improve her quality of life. Pets are our family and Trupanion's family, too.

Very Happy with Trupanion

We purchased our pet health insurance several hers ago when she was healthy, and as she grew older we were so happy we did it. he now has a heart condition and is blind, but still a happy and feisty little girl. Trupanion has come through every step of the way as we have cared for our Dachsie's unique health problems. She has a great life, and we haven;t thought twice about getting her the treatment she needs. Trupanion insurance has given us a level of comfort and peace of mind that we really appreciate.

Very Helpful Product

My cat Sapphire developed renal disease a couple of years ago (he is currently 18 years old now). I have had no issues with Trupanion's handling of my cat's renal claims, and have received timely processing, and payments after I exceeded the deductible. The insurance will definitely pay for itself, as even one small incident can turn into a large vet bill quickly. Very good investment to have for your pet, definitely recommend it.

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.
