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.

Claims Processing A+

When one looks for Pet Insurance you hear all kinds of horror stories. We narrowed our choice down to two carriers one of which was Trupanion.Their sales department was a delight to work with answering all of our questions. But over time we have learned that Sales and Marketing is one thing and Claims another. In the case of Trupanion I cannot say enough good thing about how our recent claim was handled. The Claim was promptly attended to, with all policy coverage and guidelines followed, and prompt payment made. I am happy to report we made a good decision in insuring with Trupanion.

Trupanion is the best insurance for your pet.

My dog Brody was hurt on the ice at the dog park. She needed immediate surgery to repair the carpal pad on her foot. Trupanion was there to help me from the Emergency Vet Clinic to daily updates on my claim. Trupanion's Customer Care is excellent, devoted and will be with you every step of the way. Thank You Sandy

good experience

I have a 3 year old Russian Blue cat. Recently he became very ill where he had thrown up over *20* times in a 12 hour period. I rushed him to the after hours emergency vet once I got home and saw the small piles of vomit all over my home. He received great care and the day after I faxed in my claim to trupanion. Within 2 days I received my first email. The communication was great. I received numerous emails with updates so I never felt I had to call for more information. The processing was just under a week. I was satisfied with the 90% payout which helped greatly, however was disappointed that the $165 emergency vet fee was not covered. My cat was in dire need of vet care and to find out that this fee was not covered did not sit well with me. What else was I supposed to do with my cat?

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.
