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.

Good service from Trupanion

In general the process of the claim if very easy to follow with Trupanion. The only part of the process that it's somewhat inneficient it's the response time from the clinic to get the medical records to Trupanion. Not sure if it's a lack of follow up from Trupanion or a lack of response from the Clinic since I need to be checking on both sides. Once Trupanion gets the information, the process is very efficient. I'm happy with the service but I'd be happier if the time of the claim is reduced by improving the process of getting the medical records in a shorter time (It took more than 1 week this time).

Trupanion is a true companion to me and my pets!

Trupanion is the best. You have the opportunity to choose which type of coverage is best for you and your pet. Their response is always quick and thorough. If you have a problem filing a claim they contact your vet direct. I have two Golden Retrievers, and having Trupanion gives me piece of mind. Would highly, highly, highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for having my back Trupanion!

Excellent claim service- friendly caring professio

I was very concerned that Sasha may not be covered since she had a pre-existing condition called Reactive Colitis.Sasha was vomiting so much she needed to be taken to the Care Hospital and then needed 3 days of IV fluids to help her recover. She tested postive for Giardia and all other tests came back negative. Within several days of putting forward a claim for almost $1600 I received an approval that Trupanion will cover $1445 of these recent medical costs. trupanion responded very fast to this claim and when I called to inquire about the "chance of this being covered" I was reassured in a very professional and friendly manner. I would recommend Trupanion to anyone!!

Trupanion is the Best in the Business!!

I have worked at animal hospitals since 1999. I have seen pet insurance change and grow. I have not come across a more progressive company than Trupanion. They are easy to work with and to get a hold of. The rep is great!!They are the only company that provide "claims express" and will pay the animal hospital directly. I signed up for the 30 day free trial on my own golden retriever puppy. 2 weeks into the trial she got incredibly ill. It took a lot of phone calls to specialists and many tests to figure out what was wrong. Decisions were made easy knowing that all the tests were covered. Had it not been for working at an animal hospital, and having the insurance my puppy would have had to been put to sleep. I love being able to give our clients the same finacial freedom and recommend "trupanion" to many of them. I sleep easy at night knowing that I will not have to make decisions based on money. It is our pateints best interest and is healthy for our practice to have as many pets as we can on pet insurance. We are able to practice our best medicine and pets get what they need. My puppy is living proof.

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.
