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.

Leg Injury from Dog Park

My puppy was at the Dog Park when she let out a yelp which caused all dogs and pet owners to come running. We couldn't determine what happened but a couple of days later I noticed a puncture wound in her leg. The vet said it was infected so she drained it and with the help of antibiotics, my westie is feeling better and her wound it healing nicely. Kudos to TRUPANION which was VERY RESPONSIVE to my claim.

Emergency bowel obstructions surgery

My dog got into the garbage and required an emergency bowel obstruction surgery. The costs of this surgery were around the $5000 mark and without my insurance we would not have been ableTo afford it. The process of creating and submitting a claim was very easy and I received my money within a week of the surgery. Mojo is doing Great and recovering well. We are 3 weeks post surgery. The process was way easier than I anticipated. Glad I chose trupanian.

Price Increases

The service I get from Trupanion overall is great. My vet puts my claims in electronically and I get notified of the coverage within the same day. This is great as have a recurring prescription for my Dane named Aries. I only have to pay the difference now instead of the whole bill and having to wait to be reimbursed. My only worry is as the premium has increased twice on me, I am now worried as I approach $100.00 a month I may soon be getting priced out of what I can afford. Then my Pet will suffer if I have to cancel the premium.

Our interactions were not just about money, but the staff truly cared about what we were going through at the time. Thank you to all for their help and support.

Trupanion's service is amazing. I had a check from them within a week and they actually covered 90% as specified on the policy. No hassle, just great customer service.

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.

All pets under 14 years old can enroll. Once enrolled, pets stay insured regardless of age.

Accidents: 5 days Illnesses: 30 days Other providers may have additional waiting periods for congenital conditions like hip dysplasia, Trupanion does not.
