Insurance Coverage
Excellent insurance. We adopted a dog with some bad habits. Insurance covered expensive medical costs. However, the premiums went up nearly 120percent.Ouch.

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.

Sick dog
Our Tea cup Teddy bear Yorkie,"Teddi" was suffering from Menningittis. She was diagnosed on Jan 4/2011. Her prognosis was not good, she was hospitalized in critical condition for 10 days. Trupanion went above and beyond, there were no questions asked, we were paid promptly. I never needed to contact them, which was nice as it was a very stressful time.

Very pleased
I have been very pleased with the plan. The last claim was just a small urinalysis but they all add up over time. I am so glad I have a good insurance plan for my cat. My only complaint is that processing seems to be taking a bit longer recently compared to one year ago. The claim submission to receipt of a check was appx. 2 weeks for the last claim. Which is still good. But it was only 8~9 days a year ago. I would have given 10 with the processing speed of 1 year ago.

FAST reimbursement
I discovered a small "lump" on my dogs back. It doubled in size in two weeks. I took her to the vet and he admitted her for immediate surgery of a "suspicious lump". We waitied ten days for the biopsy results....and thanks be to God it was benign! And thanks to Trupainion, our reimbursement check arrived before our credit card bill was due. FAST, easy service!
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.
