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.

Missy

Everything was great except we continued to be charged the deductible each visit. Vet had to write two letters to indicate all visits were for the same condition. Perhaps the form could be altered so the vet can indicate same incident.

These guys are legit

I am so glad my vet convinced me to get vet insurance through Trupanion when Morrison, my Golden Retriever, was a puppy. (He is now 3 1/2.) It was the best advice I received. I admit I was skeptical when the vet brought it up. I said to the Vet, yes but will there be a loophole every time and will they say this isn't covered and that isn't covered? My vet said, "No, these guys are legit." Some people at the dog park say to me, "I just put money in a jar for emergency vet funds." But I know that wouldn't work because what about car emergencies and Christmas and the furnace needing replacing? etc. I feel really comforted knowing there is provision JUST for Morrison's needs. It can't be allocated to anything else. It is just Morrison's. I never want Morrison's health to come second to whether I can afford it or not.

Marley's Legg Perthes Disease

Our 8 month old Morkie named Marley Jane began to walk with a slight limp in the beginning of August that got progressively worse each day. After a visit to her vet, she was diagnosed with Legg Perthes Disease. To our surprise, the best option for our little puppy to live a normal, pain free life was a full hip replacement! So on August 21, Marley underwent the $6,000 surgery to get a new hip. Now, eleven weeks after surgery, she is doing SO much better and feels great! If it weren't for Trupanion, we would have NEVER been able to do this for Marley. They were such a blessing!

palliative dog

Our beloved Cola is in end-stage liver failure after only a few short years with us. Having insurance for her veterinary services gives us peace - particularly because she has gotten herself into some "interesting" situations over the years.

Great company

I signed up with Trupanion 6 months ago when I adopted my greyhound. Very reasonable monthly premiums and I heard positive reviews about them. When my dog needed several stays at the emergency vet, Trupanion lived up to their promise and reimbursed me a good amount of the bill without any hassle. I was amazed and relieved!

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.
