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.

A few months ago, I was at our Vets office for our 2 year old cattle dog, Ares. Our Vet asked us if we ever thought about having pet insurance on Ares. I had thought about it, but was still searching for more pet ins info. The Vet said that they had info on a different type of pet ins (basically for accidents, illnesses, etc). The Vet told me a story about a pet owner who had a bill of $27,000 ( yes, I am confirming the $27,000) and yes, Trupanion was there to saved the day. Anyway, he gave me a form with Trupanion's number to call, and that they would insure Ares for 1 month free of charge with a $250 deductible. I called Trupanion. Spoke to a wonderful young lady named Emilie. She was great, answered all my questions and concerns. In the meanwhile, I had told Emilie that we were looking into getting a new puppy, same breed and may be interested in insuring both dogs. So at the end of the 30 days trial for Ares, I called back and spoke with Emilie and decided to take out the policies on both dogs. Emilie asked me if I wanted the 30 days free trial for the new puppy, named Jillaroo. I declined and said go ahead and insure both now. She did. I asked for a $300 deductible. Emilie said, that Jillaroo would not be insured for illnesses for (30 days, and accidents (5 days). Eleven days later we were headed to the ER for Jillaroo (10weeks old). She had swallowed a teething puppy (edible) biscuit and instead of chewing on it like she did 2 nights before, she decided to swallow

Provided excellent service
My lab had a distended stomach and had to be rushed to the vet hospital. Brought him home after 2 days as good as ever, along with a $1500 bill. Trupanion was quick in getting all the required information and after the deductibles, provided us with a check covering the bulk of the bill. I am very satisfied and would recommend them to others. Now I just want to see if my payments go up. If not, I'll be totally impressed and will let you know. Right now I'll give them an 8 and if the monthly payments stay the same I'll give them a 10.

excellent emergency coverage, fast reimbursement
We researched a number of pet insurance companies and chose Trupanion's emergancy policy as the best suited for our young female saluki mix, Cleo. Rather than try to cover her routine expenses, which are relatively easy to budget, we decided that we should cover any emergency situations, which are usually the most costly and least prepared for. In hindsight, the best value in such coverage is that when an accident happens you are not forced to make major decisions about your pet's future based upon financial considerations. In other words, since the insurance covers 90% of all accident-related expenses, there is no reason to skimp on the necessary medical procedures. We have a very active dog who runs with us daily in a wooded park near our home. Several years ago she started lifting one of her hind legs on our return from the woods. Our vet diagnosed a torn ligament in her knee and gave us the choice of surgical repair or just letting the dog live with it. He said that many people don't want or can't afford the expense of surgery (around $2000-) and choose to do nothing. The animal eventually gets used to its reduced mobility and doesn't seem to experience lasting pain. Because we had our Trupanion policy we never thought twice about opting for the surgery, and after 4 months our Cleo had 100% of her mobility again. The surgeon advised us that it was possible that she might sustain the same injury in the other hind leg, because after recovering they tend to put more weight

Best Pet Insurance
My Pomeranian is insured with Trupanion and was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and bronchitis. She takes medication for both daily. Trupanion paid for 90% of her testing and for 90% of her meds related to these diagnosis. I really love this insurance. It's the greatest
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!
