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.

Trupanion gets great recommendaton!
We purchased Trupanion pet insturance for our 13-year-old cat, Mittens, last year. We wanted to provide coverage for any expensive procedures. Trupanion was very efficient and helpful in explaining the coverage for our cat before and after she had oral surgery--extensive tooth resporption. The claim was most defininitely resolved to our satisfaction!

Good coverage but they do raise premiums
I have had 4 dogs on Trupanion for about 1 year now. I specifically picked them over PetPlan because Trupanion does not raise monthly premiums as your dog ages - so imagine my surprise when I got an email saying two of my dogs premium were going up over 30% and the other two about 8%. If I want to keep the same monthly premium I would have to increase from a $0 deductible to a $200 deductible - BOGUS. I can totally understand a 8% increase, vet fees do increase, etc. But 30% (from $46 to $61) really does seem excessive to me. Plus no multiple dog discount may be enough for me to switch.
On the good side they have paid out awesome - fast pay out. They do have a long waiting period which is something to be aware of.

Consultation fee not included
I was happy with the overall process. The one thing i don't like is that they don't include the consultation/exam/recheck fee as part of the bill, but i will just lower my deductible and it'll be even.

Great Coverage
Great Experience with Trupanion! My bulldog started limping so I brought him to my vet for x-rays, thankfully they think it is just a soft tissue injury as the x-rays were sent to a specialist and no dysplasia was found. The claims process was so easy and they covered all of the treatment minus the exam at 90%. I sent my claim in on a Monday and the check was in my mailbox that Friday, I never expected it to be that quick! Great insurance to have for piece of mind, I was not even concerned with the bill or treatment because I knew I was covered.
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.
