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 is Great

My young female German Shorthaired Pointer has had diarrhea assoiated with intermittent vomitting and anorexia over several weeks.We have worked it up and treated with a variety of options. Trupanion has handled multiple submissions under this illness in an expedient manner and without balking at fairly extensive diagnostics. My young male GSP had dental issues and surgery to correct those issues, and Trupanion handled that claim in a similar manner. They collect the necessary infomration and pay the claim in a quick and efficient manner. They do not argue with what the vet recommends but rather leave the medical decisions to the medical expert. Having had other pet insurance for my previous dogs, I can attest that Trupanion's claim management is truly outstanding.

Easiest part of my dogs health issues

dealing with trupanion has been the easiest experience of my dogs illness and constant problems. I am so grateful I have chose them as an insurance because everything with them has been so easy. My life with my pup Cheech is not easy and having the insurance part (which is a big deal) be so easy, makes me feel at ease and it's one less thing to worry about and all I have to do is worry about getting my pup back to recovery. I recommend anyone that has a beloved pet to go with trupanion, they have saved my dog and I'll never be able to thank them enough for all the help. Go trupanion !

Excellence in Service!

A good friend had some major surgery come up for her dog a few years ago, the bill was in the tens of thousands. She thankfully had Trupanion and couldn't say enough about it. We are truly grateful to have found Trupanion and everyone has been so generous and helpful. One of our babies had a mass removed and they found cancer, the doctor suggested radiation and it was all covered up to 90%. Can't imagine being able to do it without Trupanion.

Get Pet Insurance, and Get it with Trupanion!

Four years ago I got my first giant breed puppy, a "Saint Dane" named Dino. We did not have health insurance for him, I simply never thought about it. He was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia at 6 months old. We paid $5,000 for the first surgery, only to find that the surgeon didn't fix the problem, so he had to go in for a second surgery, which was around $3,000. Dino's health spiraled out of control from there, with infections, skin problems due to an undiagnosed thyroid issue, and then... he tore an ACL. It was another $5,000 surgery for the first ACL tear. A year later, another ACL tear and another $5,000. Long story, short, when he was 4 years old, the elbow infection returned, and the antibiotic we gave him ruined his liver, and we had to put him down. Besides losing the love of our life, we were somewhere around $30,000 in the hole over the course of four years.When Dino was still alive, we got our second giant breed, a great dane. I immediately enrolled her with Trupanion. While I haven't had to use her insurance, the premium is so affordable and the peace of mind so great, I will forever keep her covered. Determined not to let our terrible experience get us down, we did research and picked out a different Saint Dane breeder who had zero health problems that we knew of in her lines. We bought two more Saint Dane puppies, flew from CA to CT and back to get them because they were supposed to be healthy, and just in case, I also enrolled them into Trupanion's coverage, expecting and hoping to never have to use it. I have three large dogs covered, along with rehabilitation for them, and my monthly premium is absolutely affordable and worth every penny. As luck would have it, one of our new puppies, Faith, was diagnosed with double hip dysplasia at 8 months old. She needed another one of those very expensive surgeries. Due to the financial situation surrounding our first dog, we were in no place to be able to cover another giant orthopedic surgery. If it weren't for Trupanion's coverage on Faith, we probably would have had to have put her down. But, Trupanion has really come through for us. They immediately pre-approved her bilateral FHO surgery, and they followed through with every promise of coverage. They are more timely, responsive, friendly, and helpful than any company I do business with. They are truly remarkable. They stand by their word. There are no loopholes - what you read about is definitely what you get. After spen

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

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.
