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.

Outstanding

We lucked into Trupanion because they offers a free month wHen we took our new pup for her first checkup. Fortunately we never cancelled. Our pup had giardiasis, a broken leg and some weird and frightening "episodes" which, after many vet , ER,specialists and an MRI, was diagnosed as a kind of seizure. Imagine the cost. Easy forms to fill out. very prompt acknowledgement of their receipt. Very prompt and clear explanation of costs,deductible and payments due followed by a check. We are more than satisfied, we are grateful to have this coverage.

Disappointed

Vet recommended 2 procedures,the 3rd one was required (spay)by trupanion for future coverage in case of future tumors,this is my bill:Condition: Extract retained deciduous teeth, OVH, dewclaw surgery removal. financial Summary: Total Claim Request $852.92 Eligible Costs$304.55 Deductible Applied-$100.00 Total Claim Paid (90% coverage)$184.09. It's better than nothing but not as good as they "Advertise". One more refund like this and i'm giving Petplan a call.

BEWARE - Pre-Existing Conditions

Beware. Our dog has food allergies, which I could easily have avoided finding out about OR paying extra money to test. Anything wrong with my dog is now denied because of his "pre-existing" allergy condition. I could have chosen to be like 90% of pet owners and just ignored it, but I want my pup as healthy as possible. Therefore, I spent lots of money to get to the bottom of it and now I am penalized by Trupanion for every claim going forward. I pay over $300 a month on special grain free kibble from New Zealand. I am betting if he has an accident they will say that it because of his food allergies. Bottom line, they are going to try and do everything possible to get out of paying your claim.

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.
