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.

Trupanion is exactly just that "True" Tru to its word, Tru to its value and Tru with its insurance!!!

Some of our relatives and friends already know about the situation we are having with our precious Sheltie. We did not know until she was about 5 to 6 moths old that she was in kidney failure! This is so devastating and sad to hear and also see her deteriorate before your eyes knowing there is nothing you can do to help....BUT through it all we are so thankful for Trupanion. They stuck with us right from the start to right this day.(September 22/2024) They do not hesitate to pay their balance. They even covered a percentage of her diet food we had to have for her (special vet approved food), her hospital bills (to their amount of coverage) and all other insurance matters. We have nothing bad in any way to say about Trupanion. They are remarkable in every way!! They have even sent out messages / emails as to how our sheltie is doing. We are very pleased in every way to have Trupanion behind us. Just a added note . . . "our vet bills did exceed 14,000.oo and we have received roughly 9500.oo in coverage from Trupanion. One cannot complain over that! Our sheltie is 11 months as of October 6, 2024. She is expected to live between 18 to 2 years max. We thank god everyday for Trupanion Xo

My coverage has more than doubled in a little over 2 years along with the fact that anytime I have submitted anything it hasn’t been covered anyways. Im not sure at this point it’s worth the outrageous amount I am spending per year. May have been better off to just put that money away and use it when needed.

BEWARE of price increases…

Until this year I would've recommended Trupanion, but this year my monthly rates have increased almost 50% despite making no claims. It's amazing the company can claim that prices won't increase based on pet age and number of claims, but you can bet they'll find another reason. Talked to someone in customer service who told me my rate went down last year by 2.25% like I'm supposed to be grateful. A 50% premium jump makes it impossible to continue to be a customer with the company and my dog is only 3. Couldn't be more disappointed.

The company has not disappointed me…

The company has not disappointed me yet. We have not.had a claim as yet as our pet is still quite young. Not much more to add.

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.
