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.

Would Recommend Trupanion

When our little Orlando (4.5 lb Chihuahua) went for spaying the pre op blood work showed very high liver enzymes. The vet followed up with a bile acid test which indicated a possible liver shunt. He then did a ultra sound and determined that it was not a liver shunt but that Orlando has a small liver. He has recommended liver supplements ( covered by Trupanion ) and a low protein diet. I would recommend Trupanion to anyone looking for pet insurance. My claims have always been handle quickly and they always enquire as to how is Orlando feeling :)

Echo-cardiogram twice a year

Mister Mouser,our sweet young cat, has a developing heart condition. He was adopted from our vets' adoption center and there had been no sign of this condition when he became part of our family. He needs an echo-cardiogram every six months. So glad he is also part of Trupanion's family.

Good Coverage

Trupanion's coverage was excellent. There was a slight delay in mailing the check; but nothing major. Some confusion over a prescription from her regular vet; I should have secured it from the Pet Emergency Hospital. Trupanion customer service is responsive and helpful.

Great co. to work with

My previous dog had numerous health issues so when I got a new dog I took out medical insurance,Trupanion was a good choice! My new havanese puppy "Muffin" lost her tear production after a year old,Muffin is doing good now but will be on medications the rest of her life that are epensive.I have 90 percent coverage of her meds that Trupanion pays qickly! Also Muffin got a severe skin infection that her regular Vet could not treat.Muffin needed a specialist and a 950.00 surgery to biopsy her lesions and test for cancer!Thank goodness they were benign and now she is recovering on new meds! Trupanion paid 90 percent of her bills in just a week! Very helpful and nice people to do business with!

First time user of Pet Insurance

I was not certain if I would like pet insurance and if it would pay without a lengthy wait, as does Medicare!!! The staff was courteous and the process of claim was began what seemed like the first day it was received by Trupanion. Today a received a check for a claim that was less than one month old. Part of the Vet bill I did not pay once my deductible was met. At this writing I am happy with my choice and I did not have to decline any testing that was appropriate for the illness.

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.
