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.

Understanding but confused

My initial phone call to Trupanion left me feeling much better in an otherwise very stressful situation; the Customer Care employee I spoke to was very understanding, patient, and helpful while I spoke to her sitting in the exam room of the ER with my puppy. My only complaint is because I had to bring my puppy to the ER less than 12 hours apart and the two visits were processed as separate claims so I am still trying to explain it is the same illness so I do not pay my deductible twice, but I have yet to be successful in that aspect.

Excellent

I have been with Trupanion since 2006 and have only been disappointed once. The error was not Trupanions but the Vet specialist that told me something was covered that was not.

Fantastic

Our 11 yr old Samoyed had several mammary masses removed. Trupanion was great in reimbursing our expenses. Communication from Trupanion has been excellent.

eazy to work with

I placed my dog under insurance with Trupanion when he was 1 year old. He is now almost 8years old and he has diabetics and cataracts. I am glad that I have an insurance for him and that the company I am working with is Trupanion. This company is very eazy to work with.

Worth every penny!

After my first dog got sick and spending over 9k to give him the best chances of survival I decided to get insurance on my second dog. Best decision I have made. I spend roughly 1600-1800 a year on his vet care since he has developed arthritis. Trupanion true to their policy has reimbursed me a good portion back each time (which actually comes to roughly what I spend to have him insured each year.) So in the end its like I have free insurance for my dog since I would spend the money anyways .. and now I have the peace of mind knowing that I won't get stuck financially if he needs more medical attention. If I ever get another pet, puppy or older, I will always get Trupanion insurance and have been recommending them to my friends. Its worth the money for the peace of mind.

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.
