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.

A Blessing to have Trupanion in my life

My 12 year old Jack Russell was just diagnosed as a Diabetic. I took her to the vet because she stopped eating, was lethargic and didn't want to move or do anything that she normally did. she was diagnosed with Diabetic ketoacidosis. She had to stay at the hospital for 4 days straight. When I brought her in I was beside myself with worry, and when I saw the estimate of cost I was scared. Scared that I was going to have to make a decision that I was not prepared or ready to make. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. To me she is my baby. And how can I say "put her down" because I can't afford the bill. That guilt would haunt me forever. But once I was informed what Trupanion would cover, I was relieved to know I can actually get a handle on this, and get my baby healthy again. Trupanion Thank you for everything. I have my baby girl back now and were working on a schedule to get a handle on her diabetes.

Wry free pet insurance

I have had to make 2 claims for overnight hospital visits and 1 for an ear infection and they were all handled without a hitch. It is fantastic to be able to get my dog the care she needs without having to worry about the bills.

Great and quick processing

I have had my 7 dogs insured through Trupanion for 5 or so years. I have tried all the insurance providers and Trupanion is the best. I offer pet insurance as a benefit to my staff and I have referred many clients. Jean, "Lead Dog" Top Dog Country Club.

Great Coverage; Wonderful agents

One of my cats had a malignant mass in his small intestine requiring surgery and chemotherapy. The claim was handled amazingly quickly for a large amount (over $6000)and the subsequent claims for the ongoing chemotherapy are processed in less than a week. It helps to submit the medical reports along with the invoice.

Making an emotional time easier to handle

Our dog was terribly ill and being able to go ahead with all the tests the vets were suggesting, knowing that Trupanion would cover the costs was such a relief. Having direct billing made it even easier at the end of the visit as we were only responsible for paying the difference rather than the whole cost up front and waiting for a refund. It took about 15 mins for our claim to go through. Amazing! We are happy to say that because of our coverage, we could afford all the treatments necessary and our dog is now on her way to feeling better.

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.
