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.

Best choice we ever made for our dog

We got pet insurance for our Golden Retriever puppy and it was the best decision we could make as pet owners. Things happen. She swallowed a toy which was lodged in her stomach when she was just a puppy. She had a sliver of metal in her paw that had to be surgically removed. All within her first year. Trumpanion was always timely in their processing of our claims and our reimbursement check would come in the mail within one month of the vet procedures.

Good

Hello Things are going good so far with my poor sweet dog who suffers with red sore feet. I thought that tropon was not going to help me but they did! Please erase my previous review it is false! They just took a little more time! I have been under a lot of pressure because my sweet doggy has not been feeling well and just kinda snapped and felt the company turned on me but no they are there and they are mine and my dogs friends to help us through our problems. Again it was my mistake and i was wrong to write a review before they even got a chance to look over the rest of the bills. Please erase asap! THANKS!!!

Good to Have

Overall we are glad we have insurance for our puppy. It is a tad expensive (and apparently rates went up for new customers), but without it we would have spent a lot more.

Excellent

I am very pleased with Trupanion and would recommend every pet owner to get this insurance. My dog tore her CCL and I got the best Vet to operate and repair her knee. I also took out the therapy insurance and was able to take her for hydro-therapy to speed up her recovery. If I didn't have Trupanion I would not have been able to afford such wonderful care for my dog.

frustrated about payment

I asked for a preapproval and it got all messed up. I think I was paid the entire amount instead of my vet receiving any. the clerks got mixed up and did not pay attention that 3 claims were really one...all day in vets - then to emergency hospital overnight - then back to vet the next day. one event. seemed to confuse them greatly...i'm sure this happens a lot. they are still working on this option to have preapproval, and they need to work out the kinks. even with several emails, I still think this one is a mess. I want to be sure my vet was paid and I get my part only. I still don't know as my vet owner is out of town and only they know if they got the electronic transfer unless trupanion tells me they paid them which...after 1 week, i'm still waiting for the answer.

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.
