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.

My first claim

I have had this insurance for almost 5 years. My yorkie had a end of a chew stick stuck in his throat he had to have surgery to remove the total cost incurred $4300. I comtacted trupanion and was totally impressed. They emailed me the claim form immediately and also faxed each vet a copy so that claim could be submitted. My claim was paid within a week and I received the cheques shortly after. I was surprised and very happy with the entire process. They were so accessible. The only surprise was that they did not cover taxes charged on the invoice i don"t recall seeing this as an exclusion. Anyways i would highly recommend Trupanion and did my friend bought the next day. Very happy pet owner.

Great support and coverage!

We are so glad we have trupanion for our dog Cherry! She had to have surgery on her leg and we were able to concentrate on giving her the care she needed and not worry about how much it was going to cost. It's even better than the medical insurance we have for our own family. Trupanion was caring and prompt and even looked in on us afterwards.

great insurance

I have a collie who is going through a bladder and urinary problem and a sheltie that has just had a horrid eye infection. I am so happy that I have trupanion-I left my other insurance company as trying to put in a claim was a nightmare. Trupanion is extremely helpful and easy to work with. I made the right choice in switching!

Very nice agents who explained the entire process

I called and spoke to the insurance agent about the claim and the representative explained the entire process to me via the phone. The insurance rep advised me how long the claim would take place and what paperwork they needed. I appreciate the service and time the agent took to cover the insurance claim process.

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.
