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.

Very Happy With The Policy

We bought a very sick puppy and have had her to several vets Trupanion has been great and covered everything they have said they would. They have also processed the claims quickly and I have received my checks timely. One tip I would give is to print your claim form out and bring it with you to the vet since pet insurance is somewhat new some vets are not familiar with the form or what they need to do.

BEST INSURANCE PLAN EVER!!!

Trupanion has been providing the most wonderful coverage I could ask for during my Greyhound Buttercups' diagnosis and treatment for thyroid cancer. This has been ongoing since Feb. 2015 and if not for their amazing support, I would have fallen apart. From the first vet bill onward, they have contacted me to be sure that all was going well, they've covered what they promised to cover, and best of all, I am able to receive Buttercup's benefits at the point of care, rather than having to pay up front and submitting for reimbursement!!I expect that not all vet offices have established protocols for submission to Trupanion to determine coverage and allow immediate application to the bill, but my provider does and it is a Godsend when I am emotional because of a my dogs cancer diagnosis. I have spoken to a representative on multiple occasions and they have sent me wonderful personal email communications, too. I have had other insurance policies that were good, but this company is GREAT. REALLY.

I couldn't be happier!

This was my first time submitting a claim and everyone I talked or email to was very helpful and courteous. There was a misunderstanding with the reimbursement and it was corrected right away and explained why the payment was different than I expected, and in general very good service. Keep up the good work.

Tessa, Anita, Ron -Thank you Trupanion

Our puppy (Tessa) is now 3 1/2 yrs old. Fortunately we decided when Tessa was but a few months old to secure insurance. We researched numerous insurance companies but we kept returning to Trupanion. The final decision was in part influenced by our Vet. Needless to say, Tessa now has a vet. file in fact two files since the first one was full. Our bills have been in the thousands and with the exclusion of bills for office visits, Trupanion has honored payment for EVERY INVOICE (90%). Yesterday we had Tessa to our Vet for a check up. During the Drs. visit, our Vet commented on Trupanion. Noting, her experience with other insurance companies has been less then desirable given the delays in bill processing and the on going request for additional information. She could not say enough about Trupanion as compared to the other insurance companies. Now would anyone in our position with a sick puppy and the great experience we have had with Trupanion rate your performance less than acceptable, I don't think so. But as important as the honoring of invoices is, the professional treatment we receive every time we call is exceptional. What more could we ask for? My wife and I thank you.

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.
