Good but if you have a deductible it's a little misleading. Without a deductible it's great.

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.

Very pleased with Trupanion
I have been very pleased with the help and support received from Trupanion. My kitten developed asthma and underwent many costly tests recently and she is currently on medications to treat her condition. The coverage I chose has been a lifesaver and Trupanion representatives have been wonderful. They are prompt with follow ups and status reports regarding my claims. Once I fax in my paperwork, the process begins within a day which is great. I do recommend this company to others.

Trupanion is wonderful and truly covers 90%
Trupanion is wonderful, my peke-pom just had to have the etropian surgery on both of his eyes and the covered 90%, almost 720.00 no questions asked and the claim was handled very quickly!

Great job!
When my dog got hit by a car and needed several thousands in medical bills, Trupanion was very timely in getting things filed, I loved the emails that kept me up to date on the claim (generally before I thought to ask) and the payment processing was fast. I got my check in about 12 business days. I LOVE Trupanion's 90/10 payout rate and how they handled the deductible was really helpful, too (they pulled it out of the larger bill so I got reimbursed for my local vet visit as well as the much larger referral hospital visit.

Great company to work with
Our dog has been dealing with allergies that cause her to itch uncontrollably and during the course of treatment she has reacted to the medications on more than one occasion. Trupanion has paid all claims promptly and has not denied anything, including reactions to treatment. I wish they would cover the visit fee at the emergency animal hospital, but I understand that there are limits. I do very much appreciate the once per condition deductible, so we have only paid the deductible once for all of her allergy treatments. I very much recommend trupanion if you are looking for pet insurance.
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.
