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.

Outstanding

When I contemplated buying pet insurance for my Diesel, I wasn't sure I would ever had to use it. I have to say......I will never have another pet without the security of pet insurance. My Diesel suffered a FCE or spinal stroke and we had no idea what treatment he would receive, how long the treatment would last, if it would be successful and last but not least how much it would all cost. I am so very happy with Trupanion's customer service and speedy reimbursement. From the moment I first called customer service for advice, to the filing of my claims it has taken a large portion of the stress out of a horrible situation. I am happy to report that my Diesel is now able to stand and walk and has made a remarkable recovery. Since the incident my father has insured his dog with Trupanion and I have suggested it to many of my pet owning friends and family

No regrets!

It is such a comfort to know that I won't have to put my dog down because I can't afford her care. She's gat bilateral cruciate ligaments torn seeds surgical repair to the tune of about 8000.00. I pay my 500 deductible(I paid that for the diagnostics - sedation for large dog x-rays) and now I only have to pay 90% of that. It includes much needed and expensive meds. So glad I bought this - they have been great - very caring. Highly recommended. I talked the hubby into it by telling him if the premiums (about $60.00 a month) add up to say, $800.00 for the year, and then she needs major surgery we are golden, only having paid the deductible and 10%.

Couldn't be happier

My lab puppy has had to have 2 surgeries this year, first on her shoulder then on her elbow. I am so thankful that I got Trupanion insurance for her. Going through the claim process and being able to easily talk to someone on the phone has been great. I don't know what I would have done without Trupanion.

All representatives were very helpful.

Your service is wonderful...My one question is when you bring an obviously sick pet to the veterinarian, why is the exam to determine what is wrong with your pet not covered. I was not bringing our pet in for a wellness visit.

Great Service for my Pooch

Again, Trupanion are excellent. Once my pup was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia they have been excellent and extremely timely with any questions I have and about processing my claim. It has been about 5 months know that we have been claiming his medications and if I fax or email it through, I usually get a reply within 24-48 hours. Most of the amounts are covered and the cheque appears within a week of the email. This has definitely been a good expenditure form our part, and I would highly recommend Trupanion to anyone looking for pet insurance.

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.

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.
