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.

Plural asperated pneumonia

On November 23, 2013 at 2:30am Bulldozer our 7 month old Rottweiler vomited in his crate. We got up with him cleaned his crate and didn't put him back in it that night. By 5:30am my husband woke me up and said the puppy didn't seem well. We took him to the care centre in Calgary we weren't sure at that point if it had been something he ate as he eats anything and everything. By the evening of November 23 they had diagnosed him with aspirated pneumonia his lungs were a mess the X-ray showed them both to be almost completely white they inserted chest tubes in both sides by the Sunday night it looked like we may lose him he did make it through the night at which point the Doctors still were not sure how he would be or if he was strong enough to survive. The staff at the care centre were amazing his primary physician is Dr. Lisa Shearer who has been amazing. Trupanion approved his treatment it has been over $40,000 so far without the trupanion and the amazing staff we would have had to put our Bulldozer to sleep. He is home now and still on antibiotics which he will be for awhile and his care is on going.

Imsurance for 9 week old puppy

It's been about a year and half since I got my 9 week old Labradoodle and I signed up for Trupanion right away. At first I wasn't sure about insurance but thought I wouldn't want money to be the reason why I couldn't help him if he needed it. I went with Trupanion because of their flexibility and their coverage options. When my dog was nearly 4 months old we found out that he had a growth problem and a few months later we found out he had hip dysplasia. We got him from an excellent breeder and as much as we thought he would be healthy you never know with mother nature. Words can't describe the support we have received from Trupanion and what they have provided my dog. They have been very cooperative with me and my vet's office and I know that today my dog is living the best life and I know that he will continue to have that support for the rest of his life.

Trupanion made it happen!

My buddy Tino tore a ligament in his knee,...the surgery would cost about $4000, money that i dont have. As much as the vet resisted accepting receiving payment directly from Trupanion through their Claims Express, the Trupanion reps made every effort to assure them they would receive payment and convinced the vet to take it and go ahead with the procedure! Thanks to Trupanion Tino is on the road to recovery!

Horrible mistake of a company

This company takes a long time to process claims then do all they can to not pay them. Our pet was cryptorchid (testicles did not drop). The vet said they had to go in and remove them or it could cause cancer. It was a complicated surgery but they found them and my dog is fine now. Trupanion refused the claim saying it was just spay/neuter and they don't cover that. The fact that it cost much more than spay/neuter due to the complicated surgery didn't matter to them. They also turned down a claim to an emergency vet for an injured foot because it was an 'exam'. It would be hard for them to determine what was injured without the exam. I then tried to cancel and they won't even do that. They say someone will have to call me back but , you guessed it, they have not called back. Save your money and avoid this company at all cost!

Great plan

I am so happy to have purchased a health plan for my puppy Sookie. You never expect an emergency but when it happens you will pay anything to get your baby taken care of. I had acclaim that cost nearly $2000.00 and thanks to Trupanion I got a good portion of that back. I am so happy that Trupanion really does take care of your pets.

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.
