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.

Extremely pleased with Trupanion

My spouse and I waffled on whether or not to even get Pet Insurance, but with a new puppy getting into everything we thought we'd at least invest in insurance for the first few years.At 15 months old our English Lab was diagnosed with cancer (osteosarcoma) and thanks to our investment in Trupanion we've been able to provide the best treatment available. This experience is a difficult one, regardless of your pets age, but it's been made easier knowing that we can focus our attention on our pup, not haggling over insurance coverage or wait times. Claims are paid within days of filing which keeps the financial stress to a minimum. Trupanion has been an invaluable investment and I couldn't be happier with their dedicated customer service team.

Outstanding!

Trupanion is nothing short of the most professional firm I have EVER worked with. Their clamS management process takes just 2 or 3 days to post a claim payment to my bank. Unbelievable indeed!

Trupanion has provide the service they promised

We decided to get pet insurance for our puppy (Casey) when we got him at 8 weeks of age - I did my research and settled on Trupanion. Over the years we have had small claims and they have always been paid. This year sadly Casey - who is now almost 9 years old - was diagnosed with lung cancer - he has had surgury to remove a lung lobe and the tumor. This involved many tests up to and including a CT scan all of this was covered as stated. He is now in his 2nd round of Chemo - also being covered. Trupanion has done exactly what they said they would cover - 90 % before tax on all treatments and required prescription drugs - this means on a total bill with tax you pay 23% and Trupanion pays 77% - without the help of Trupanion our cost would have been beyond what we could afford - with there help - Casey has a fighting chance now - we will never have a dog without pet insurance and will most likely always be with Trupanion

Life saving

With out trupanion I would not be able to afford to give my golden retriever who I cherish more than anything he care he needs and deserves. Trupanion is honest, fast, very dependable, organized and friendly. I recommend to anyone who has a pet to get Trupanion.

Confidence in pet ownership :)

I have had pets my whole life, and sometimes I was worried that if something happened to them would I be able to handle it even though sometimes life hasn't been very nice to me as a human. Priority is my babies. Now I'm older and my life is more secure, but I know even now, things happen. Now some of that fear is gone because I have insurance on my pets. Trupanion was the best I found and they take very good care of my troops. I like that I can submit claims or my vet can. Doesn't matter. I have many pets (4), but your monthly premium is adjustable based on what you can afford. Basic care of your pets is your responsibility (checkups and maintenance), but Trupanion handles the 'whoops' or the 'surprise it's cancer' life tosses your pet's way. I will never own a pet again without Trupanion to make sure everything will be okay. They make it very possible to care for your pet no matter what. No pet parent should have to kill their pet because they can't afford a specialist. Trupanion has your back!

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.
