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.

GI Blockage in 17 month old Lab

My 17 month old Brainiac Lab Cooper for whatever reason (probably just lab) decided that a few rocks were as good a toy or treat as anything we could buy! So after they did not sit right and he started vomiting (foul smelling) food then liquid he we rush to the ER. There we discovered he had 2 rocks lodged in his large intestine. After discussing with the surgeon whether or not they would pass we elected to do surgery to remove them. 36 hours after the surgery he went home and the ER submitted the paper work to Trupanion. 1 1/2 weeks later I received an email stating the claim was processed and my check would be mailed, which I had in a week’s time after that.Yes, I would recommend Trupaion. What more can you ask than have a company stand behind you for all the things a lab can bring into your life.

If your income is low you need Trupanion

I joined Trupanion 10 years ago for my Chihuahua Ebby. My income is low and I could not imagine losing her to sickness or injury due to my lack of money. As she has aged her premium has increased but so has my salary so I am still extremely appreciative of the benefits Trupanion offers and I have peace of mind and my baby girl is living privileged with health care. Health insurance is a must for every pet, especially if your income is low, consider having to make a choice to heal your pet or let her go........... I can find a dollar a day but not 20,000 dollars, just a thought, thanks you Trupanion for all your great service over the last decade from me and Ebby

They really care!

Our very small dog 21/2 pounds fell and hit her head resulting in a rushed trip to the hospital where we were informed they weren't sure if she would make it. We asked them to do whatever they could to treat our poor puppy. Our first bill sent to trupanion was quickly covered followed closely behind by a request to see how she was doing. This continued through her full recovery with Trupanion actually thanking us for taking such good care of our loved one. The thanks goes to them! I suggest strongly to everyone with a pet to get this insurance.

Glad I switched to Trupanion

My dog is 9 years and 9 months old. She was diagnosed in May 2013 with diabetes. She will be on insulin the rest of her life. A 58 day supply of insulin and syringes is $125.99. Trupanion has paid 90% of this cost. The turn around time from the day I send the claim form until I receive reimbursement averages 25 days. Trupanion also covered 90% of the extensive testing that was required to properly regulate her insulin dosage.

Amazing!

My puppy is 8 months old and in the 6 months that we have had him, he has had to have an ultra sound ($500), he has been to the ER ($2000) and has had a skin rash (200-300 dollars). I was amazed at how quickly trupanion gave us back our money and how easy they were to work with. They have saved us over 2000 dollars so far.

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.
