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 a fantastic Resource!

Our dog was happily playing ball with another dog at an official off Leash Park in Vancouver when someone entered the park with a highly aggressive dog. The dog just ran straight for the two dogs and started attacking. In seconds the dog had torn through my dog. My husband risked himself and pulled the dog off. Sadly while attending to the injured dog, the vicious dog and owner took off. Trupanion was there for us. Did not expect to need it but … we had insurance.

Losey

I used to tell all my patients to get trupanion ins for there pets, after my golden retriever had trouble getting up stairs I took her in for exam and xrays turns out she has hip dysplasia. I submitted bill and it is over 30 days and keep being told in review.My golden got very sick within 2days and they have only paid 2 claims as of yet.They say never received claim.So they lost claim and don't want to pay on claim for diagnosis of hip dysplasia I feel they are stalling and will come up with an excuse to not pay because they think I new about it because I was giving her pain meds said no record of being prescribed but her oncologist told me okay to give. All in all very frustrated with trupanion .

Best customer service!

Trupanion is a great company that offers great service. I definitely feel like I have gotten my money's worth, and feel so good that I can give my dog the best health care because now, with Trupanion's help, money is not much of an issue.

Still satisfied one year later - rate DECREASE

I have had Trupanion for almost one year and received an email today titled "Trupanion Premium Change Notification." Having read some other reviews about rate increases, I dreaded opening the message. I was completely surprised and delighted to see that it was notice of a 10% DECREASE in the premium. My cat is 2 years old and was diagnosed with severe stomatitis early in 2012. She underwent a complicated surgery to remove all of her teeth, and she has been great ever since. Trupanion has paid over $3000 in claims in 2012. They have paid promptly and according to the plan coverage. I did request pre-approval for the full-mouth extraction, and highly recommend requesting pre-approval if time is available to do so.

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.
