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.

Better than the rest!

I have had Trupanion for many years for my two cats. You think that you would never need it but after a month of being enrolled in Trupanion Insurance, one of my cats had a seizure. Knowing that she was covered, I was able to tell the Vet to do all necessary tests with piece of mind that I would be reimbursed for covered expenses. I wouldn't have had that choice had I not chose Trupanion. Over the past few years, with ongoing treatment for my cat's seizure disorder including medication, covered expenses have been reimbursed within no time. It usually only took 2 days!! Thank goodness for Trupanion!

My Vets (all of them) said They're the Best.

My senior dog is in his final days and without this company it would be extremely difficult to make his transition comfortable. Their process is unbelievably simple and reliable. I will always have dogs, and as a responsible father to the animals I love, I will always have Trupanion.

it's great

my Ollie had a growth on his front paw. Trupanion helped me by reimbursing everything except for the exam. i like it so much but i think that one thing should be changed. they should make a new rule: "exams related to an injury or illness that are new and not pre-existent should be covered" if they did that, they will be the best insurance in history!

Best pet insurance company I have used!

I recently took my 2 year old cat, Sirus, to the vet for a skin problem. During his physical examination, it was discovered that he had developed a heart murmur since his last exam. A blood test specific for feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was performed, which came back abnormal, so a cardiac ultrasound was performed (under sedation, due to his aggressiveness), which thankfully showed no HCM. Once again, Trupanion came through for us! They promptly paid 90% of the submitted charges after reviewing the documentation. I have used other pet insurance companies over the years, and so far Trupanion has been the best!

Very satisfied customer

I am very lucky to have decided to purchase pet insurance from day one for my chocolate lab. She is the sweetest most loving dog but unfortunately has had multiple orthopaedic and medical issues. Having pet insurance has really helped with the cost and has made it easier on my family.

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.
