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.

Trupanion

I took out pet insurance when I got my new puppy. I took out a policy that had a $50.00 deductible per claim. I have only had one claim to date and it did not qualify for reimbursement as the claim was not over the regular office visit. My total premium with tax is $64.00 per month. It seems like a lot of money but I know there will be a time when I will need this policy. I think of it as less than a take out coffee per day. Instead of paying a huge Vet bill when I will need it, I am paying is slowly over time. It is a lot less painful to pay $2.00 a day than a bill that could bankrupt you. Yes we will do anything for our beloved companions!!

Fantastic response to our emergency.

Our dog, Molly, was experiencing laboured breathing caused by a foreign object in her lung. The condition required an emergency lobectomy. Trupanion honoured the claim and we received payment in less than 10 days. We have and will continue to recommend Trupanion to our friends.

very helpfull and quick to process

My standard Doxie got an unknown virus that ended up her in the hospital for 2 days and took over 2 weeks and 2 different vet hospitals (had to change for labor day weekend. She's great now and trupanion had not issues with the different bills and different hospitals. They realized it was the same claim and everything was processed and check in hand within 10 days.

ok, but took long to get the money

I mailed all of the claims into the address. The company claimed that they were not received. I had to call, and then pay for faxing the forms. The faxing came to over $27.00. The i DID GET THE MONEY. But the exams that were related to the condition were not covered.

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.
