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.

not happy pet owner

I first decided this time on trying trupanion insurance for my newfoundland that was about 10 week old and now he is 2 yrs old. i have never made a claim. i know they have raise the price 40.00 more. they say the never raise the price due to age, the raise it because Advancements in veterinary medicine continue to improve the quality and lengthen the life of our pets. so i will be canceling my membership..

Major disapointment

There's a lot of confusion about how to submit forms, certificates and change the deductible. They draw you in very well at first then give you hard time about getting coverage. I've spoken to lovely people thee and very curt and snotty people as well. I'm looking into changing to a higher rated company before my dog turns a year.

Thank you for saving our lives!

After having found out that my precious Mini was diagnosed with a liver tumor, I really didn;t know what to do. I figured at 14 years old, Trupanion might not cover her surgery. However, after calling Trupanion and talking to Rachel in cusotmer care, she was very sympathetic to my situation, I found out within a few days that they indeed would cover her surgery! My decision to go ahead with the surgery was made easier just knowing that they would financially be by my side, otherwise I would have had to make a very different and unpleasant decision. Mini is now two weeks into her recovery, and we are happy and healthy. I don't know what I would have done withou you. Trupanion you are the best!

Big Fan of Trupanion

After researching pet insurance, I too went with Trupanion. Explanations were clear and I also liked the sliding deductible / fee calcualtor on the web site. My beautiful chocolate lab recently had exploratory surgery for a possible intestinal blockage. (Turns out, no blockage, but both the emerg and our regular vet felt surgery was a must!) Needless to say, this was a pricey procedure. Trupanion did everything they said they would and my reimbursement check arrived in a timely fashion. (I had the check within one month of his surgery date -- it would have been faster but we used regular mail for vet records instead of fax.) Plus, our local rep Scot M. followed up with me every step of the way keeping me infomred of my claim status. I have recommended Trupanion to every dog owner I know.

Couldn't ask for much more

This was our first claim, and it was a biggie. Our poor puppy slipped her collar and got hit by a car. The folks at Trupanion were awesome. Not only did they expedite our claim in a very reasonable amount of time, they also went above and beyond my expectations and helped us with getting some of the forms filled out by the vet hospital. I've not experienced that kind of help and service from an insurance company before. If that's not enough, there is no doubt in my mind they actually cared about our little girl. There were constant questions about how she was healing, etc. In my opinion, the questions came from sincere concern. I am so glad I had insurance when I needed it the most. Based on this, my first experience, I'd have to say if you own a dog then the insurance is a must. I recommend Trupanion to anyone.

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.
