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.

Life Saving

My dog Max became critically ill with a collapsed trachea and could not breath. It was heartbreaking to watch. Max was intubated and put into a medically induced coma. I was terrified when I was told that they were unable to extubate my precious boy and I was faced with the decision of euthanasia or a tracheal stent. I can't tell you how releived I was knowing that Trupanion would be there to help cover the cost of this very expensive procedure and it certainly helped make my decision that much easier. Max had the life saving surgery and is presently doing very well. Trupanion were very prompt as usual in responding to insurance claims and I can't thank them enough. Thank you for coming through as usual Trupanion. Linda

ACL repair

From the very first phone call, which was answered by a friendly and very helpful woman, to the check, received only a week after the procedure, the entire process was smooth, sympathetic, and helpful. Our dog tore her ACL, and after the Xrays we found that she would need surgery. I phoned to ask if the diagnostics were covered; they are. The associate went on to tell me about preapproval, and guide me through the process. The check arrived within a week, and there were no nasty surprises. We are so pleased and impressed with the service!

Cat vs. Car

My kitty, Toby, got hit by a car recently & broke both of his back legs. He was very lucky, but he did require surgery to repair the damage. I am sooooooo grateful that I chose to have insurance for him with Trupanion! They covered 90% of the costs with no hassle. At such a stressful time it was so wonderful having this financial assistance & not having to wonder if I could afford the care that my pet needed. Toby is doing well & on the road to a full recovery! :D I would highly recommend Trupanion to any pet owner!

Trupanion Saved the Day (after hours Labor Day)

We were warned that puppies are expensive, but we decided to pull the trigger anyways! We had only had little Remy for a few weeks when he got super sick on Sunday night of Labor Day weekend when our new vet was already closed...until Tuesday! We rushed him to an unknown after hours clinic where we were advised that if we didn't leave him overnight he may not make it (dehydration that main concern for the 9 lb. puppy). Leaving him overnight at a foreign place was nerve wracking enough, but they ensured us that the took Trupanion and that they are the best coverage they had seen. So that was comforting. Sure enough they were right! Trupanion coveraged exactly what they promised (90%)! And they dealt directly with the clinic so we didn't even have to pay out of pocket to get reimbursed. So easy! I called customer service a few times to get my insurance number and confirm coverage and they were SO nice! Overall incredible insurance experience and little Remy is doing great!

Always Impressed with Trupanion!!

I've had Trupanion for 6 years now and have 7 animals insured. My 17 year old cat has Hyperthyroid and, as a result, has ongoing issues. Trupanion has always taken care of the claims quickly. I can't stress enough...DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOUR ANIMAL IS ILL TO GET INSURANCE. IF you insure them immediately upon adoption/purchase you'll love dealing with this company. I have always had more than a pleasant experience with them. For years I didn't have to make claims, however, over the last 12 months I've had claims paid on 5 of my 7 animals. The overall amount paid out by Trupanion was over $12,000. These policies allow me to provide top notch care for my fur kids :) The staff are ALWAYS wonderful to deal with and nice to chat with. IF you are shopping for insurance please consider this company...you won't be disappointed!

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.
