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.

Super easy submission process

I had to take my shih tzu to the vet to check on her leg because she was limping. Trupanion has a very easy 1 page submission process. I was shocked to see that I received my payment, in my mail box, less than 7 days after the visit to the vet. Thank you! This is a great company. When you call you can tell the people working there love pets (and often even have them at work with them). Very easy to deal with!!

Check around this one is too expensive

I have a small dog that was attacked by another dog which resulted in over $2k in vet bills. The claim was denied because my dog was not neutered. He was not neutered on the advise of my veterinariun as his testicles never dropped and as he was only 2-1/2 lbs the surgery to correct would have been unecessarily traumatic. (Incidently the dog that attacked was neutered and it was over food... nothing else). My veterinarium had to write a letter to the insurance company and they finally reimbursed about $1,500 of the claim, but then put all sorts of restrictions on what I could claim. Then a year later I was hit with a 20% increase. Unfortunately as my dog is now 10 years old I am stuck with this insurance company. I have another dog that is insured with another company for about $20 a month. I really feel like cancelling but will be letting my dog down in the event that something happens.

Rate keeps going up year after year

I have no complaints about Trupanion service. I do need to complain about the fact that the rate continues to increase year after year without adding any value. When I started with Trupanion 8 years ago I was paying $25/year no deductable. Today I have a large deductable and I'm now paying almost $60/year. I just had a $10/month increase with no added value. Stop the constant monthly fee increases for existing customers!

Paralyzed Boston

I was not sure my little 3 legged dog would make it. With trupanion I was able to afford an MRI which provided a diagnosis and now, 2 weeks after becoming suddenly paralyzed in her back end, she is trying to run around again! Trupanion contacted me throughout the process to make sure I was happy with everything and to check on my little girl. They cared, which helped me focus on my Lilly and not on the money.

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.
