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.

They have been wonderful to work with!

My 5 year old Female Bull Terrier has had an unbelievable myriad of health problems. These include the loss of 1 lung due to a foxtail inhalation that was very costly and she nearly died at UC Davis. She has also had genetic kidney issues, pancreatitis and many other health conditions. Trupanion has always paid my claims often within 7 days of submitting them. Their coverage at 90% unlimited minus my $500 deductible has been a lifesaver. Literally. Both of my Bull Terriers are insured with Trupanion. I would never own a dog without Trupanion on board.

Trupanion 's terrible record for my pets!

Trupanion has rejected every claim I have submitted (in excess of 3)!Most recently they have refused a claim that my vet said was a UTI. He prescribed antibiotics. The company refused to reimburse as they claimed that he was having a behavioral issue. Now why would a vet prescribe antibiotics for a behavioral issue! In my opinion, they are a terrible insurance company and I would never recommend them to anyone!

The bst pet insurance out there!

I have had multiple experiences with Trupanion and each one makes me glad I have them for my pet insurance. One of dogs has had issues with lameness in his leg snd the x-rays and procedures were expensive and Trupanion promptly covered it and sent me a check in 3 days! I would definitely recommend this insurance.

Fast and reliable

Pepper is my second dog, this is my first time getting a pet insurance. He's insured by Turpanion 30 days trail and unlucky he's to use within the trail period because my wife give him wrong treat which make him diarrhea and vomiting and has to go to emergency. Claim is easy and fast what I need to do is send a photo of receipt to Turpanion claim email, within 1-2 days I've got reply and get money back within a week. Unfortunately I've to use it again because Pepper jump and broke his front left leg, I sent the receipt to Turpanion again as usual it's fast. I highly recommend Turpanion, not just fast and their representatives are nice and helpful, also wait time is less than 5 mins.

A veterinarians choice

First, I should say that I am a veterinarian. I have pet insurance because while I can provide most of the care for my pet even I need the help of specialists at times. This time my little guy tore both his cruciate ligaments and needed to see a surgeon to correct the problem. His surgery went great and Trupanion responded very quickly to my claim. I see a wide variety of insurance claims from clients and I chose Trupanion because of the extent of coverage they offer and their great client service.

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.
