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.

User friendly claim process; Prompt processing

In my male Jack Russell's nine months, I have submitted two claims for vet services, one of which was for nearly $1,500. Trupanion's claim form and process is very simple and easy to complete. I received a check from Trupanion about a week after submitting the claim. The claims processors kept me informed via email as each step of the processing was completed. OUTSTANDING customer service!

Trupanion-outstanding

So far, so good. My 13 year old cat is having some serious bowel issues, and thus far, the bills have totaled close to 3,000 for very expensive tests (rare and sophisticared blood tests/colonoscopy/endoscopy) etc. Trupanion has covered everything they said they would. Because I insure 5 cats with them, I opted for a 250 deductible per incident per cat to keep the premiums lower. As their policy states, after the 250 deductible in my case, 90% of everything has been covered. What a relief, I don't know what I would do without this insurance. The cat is still having issues, and I don't know what else will come out of it, but I have peace of mind knowing I can get her the help she needs without fretting over the money part of it.

Trupanion provides courteous and efficient serivce

My four year old English Springer Spaniel developed a limp about one year ago. After several appointments with her regular veterinarian, I took her to a specialist. The specialish recommended arthroscopic surgery on her right front elbow-cost about $2,500. Trupanion covered alost all of the costs associated with the surgery and follow-up care. Trupanion has allowed me to seek the best possible care for my campanion, Penny Jo.

You have to have it when you have a pet

We are so thankful to have such a wonderful insurance as Trupanian. Our dear family cat had a torn ACL and throughout and after recovery we got reinbursed in a very quick and simple way. The staff at Trupanian is exceptional with their care and help. If you can afford having a pet you cannot afford to be without insurance. This is the best thing you can do to have peace of mind in case you need it for a minor or major problem with your pet. And be thankful if you don't need it so you know that it will help another pet in need. We believe that standing before that situation of a lifethreatening or shortened lifespan due to a illness should not be a moneyissue. And with having an insurance you don't have to worry if you can pay for it or not. I would only recommend Trupanian. We researched a lot of insurances and with all the options Trupanian is truly the best. Thank you so much Trupanian, you are so true to your dear loved pets.

Trupanion Saved My Dog

I would not have been able to afford the emergency veterinary care that my Aussie/Border Collie cross received twice; once due to an accident and once to a life threatening illness. Both times the bill was over $1000. I can hardly believe how easy it was to have my claim processed and 90% of my bills paid. I wish my personal health insurance was this efficient. I would recommend this company without hesitation. They are literally life savers.

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.
