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 is the BEST!
I have tried other pet insurance in the past and every claim was a fight to get covered. With Trupanion they are amazing in how quick they approve claims and get your check in the mail. Their customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Be Very, Very Wary Of This Company!
When we got our adopted papillon mix, we noticed that his walk looked like a lady walking in heels....his back feet always crossed over each other. We never thought much of it. Last fall, he seemed to be in increasing pain and we thought he had hurt his back, so we took him to the vet. They were VERY thorough. We were told that yes, his back was very sore and tender, but that it was due to the fact that he could not walk properly and would need surgery to correct the issue.They called it patella luxation, grade3 on both legs.Evidently, he was born like this and had most likely always been in some discomfort, but had been able to adapt up to this point. The vet also had x-rays taken to check for anything in the spine, such as calcification or degeneration that would indicate disc disease. They came back clean. Surgery was performed, he healed and was super. We were able to afford to insure him shortly after with Trupanion. Late this summer, he again showed pain, only this time in his head/neck/ upper shoulder area and we took him to the vet. Again, x-rays were taken and again, they came back with no indication of calcification or degeneration. However, this time, after checking movement range,etc. the vet said disc disease. Please note: this was in an area never bothered before. Trupanion denied our claim saying that because tenderness was noted in his back before his knee surgery (when he was not insured),and because the vet at that time looked at disc disease as a possibilit

Worth it!
I have had five dogs but this is the first time I have had pet insurance and it has turned out to be the best thing. We've had a few unforseen expenses and it's so nice to be able to have her get the best care without worrying about how to pay for it.

Terrible Service and Rip Off
We got our pet insurance from trupanion for our two dogs. We have our pet insurance early this year (2011) and the only time we use our insurance is when both of our dog got ill. I sent them to the vet the first week I suspect they have kennel cough, so we don't have to pay too much for the vet bill although we have pet insurance. Right after they've been seen I mail the claim and the same week I received a notice from trupanion regarding about our claim being process.... (2months later) I call and ask to see how long it's going to take before we get our reimbursement.... they said they're waiting for the Vet to send the copy of the medical record. They called few times and left a message but they haven't recieve any feedback from our vet. which I doubt!... Our vet is easy to get a hold of and at one time we are out of town and needed the copy of our dogs medical record, they sent us right away... they mail and fax it to us to make sure we recieve the copy. After I hang up the phone with them, I call our vet and told them whats going on and what they told us is they never recieve a phone call nor notice from mail asking the copy of our pet's medical record. Called back trupanion and told them what happen on the phone. I ask them to double check the contact number and yah! they just figure our that they've been contacting the wrong place. I told trupanion, they have the copy of our vet bill and all the information they need regarding the information of our vet is just right th
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!
