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.

fast efficient service

the policy and insurance was dealt with in a very fast and efficient manner. I was updated via email regarding my claim and coverage, I received a cheque I the mail within 1 week and I live in rural BC. I also used this service while Domino was under coverage about 4 years ago. She fell off a cliff (she had multiple surgeries and weekly checkups over a 1yr period) the Trupanion insurance was very beneficial and helpful during the ordeal. Domino is now fully recovered from her fall and is doing great.

Trupanion Pays!

I've had Trupanion for my dog and best friend Harper since she was a tiny puppy, and thank goodness! Harper is now 6 years old and she has been extremely unwell for the last few months with medical bills exceeding $15,000. Trupanion has been compassionate and helpful and has quickly paid my claims, making it possible for me to get her the help she needs. Despite the high cost of her medicine and treatment Trupanion has not quibbled over one thing. It has been extremely exhausting to care for her though her illness, but knowing that I do not have to worry about her bills has been and is a huge help. Just this morning I saw a sparkle in her eyes that makes it all worth it.

Pleasant Surprise on your coverage

Ms. Feeney is doing very well, but of course we're following Dr. Dennis' recommendations to the letter. Our recent blistering weather had us not let her out too long but NOW our weird drought has broken, and she doesn't WANT to go out - typical Dachshund. Your company's payment toward her fairly large expenses helped a lot to be able to give her what Dr. Dennis had recommended!

Awesome customer service!

I've had my policy for over a year and just this month I have had to use it twice for my cat. First to remove tumors and a second time as a follow-up to ensure the cancer had not spread past the tumor and into my cat's hip bone. My bills were slightly over 1K and trupanion handled my claim and I had a direct deposit into my checking acct. within 2 days! Really nice to know I can depend on the promise Trupanion sells when the policy is purchased. They are a class act and frankly I wish my own health insurance provided the excellent overall customer experience that I have had with Trupanion! It's so comforting to know that should anything come back I can worry about getting my cat the very best vet care and Trupanion will take 90% of the financial hardship off of my shoulders.

emergency clinic and surgery

My dog had to have surgery to remove a tube sock that she ate whole. It couldn't pass and blocked the area that the stomach feeds into the intestines. The bills to my vet were addressed right away. Just yesterday I received compensation for surgergy. However, during this event we had to take her to an emergency center on a Sunday when my vet was closed. The bill for this has yet to be addressed. I sent an email to the person who handled my claim explaining the timeline and who saw my dog and the fact that the emergency center bill has yet to be addressed. The Trupanion person did not reply to my email. I recently sent a second copy of the bill and claim form to Trupanion for the emergency visit. I would have rated Turpanion as a 10 if not for this problem.

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.
