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
We switched to Trupanion from one of their competitors and are *really* glad that we did. Their service is outstanding. Payments are made very quickly.One of the nicest things about this company is that they genuinely care about you and your pet(s). I have recommended them to many people.

Fast and fair
We used Trupanion to insure our Frenchie/Boston mix puppy. She is a very active and curious dog who also has a sensitive digestive system so we thought we better insure her to be on the safe side. The policy costs about 40$ a month but it pays 90% of claims (not including exam fees). We had to make several claims just a few months after enrolling her. She had a frightening reaction to a new topical flea and tick treatment and we spent Memorial weekend in the animal hospital. We mailed in the paperwork and Trupanion immediately emailed notification of receiving it. They also emailed the status of each claim a few days after that. We got our checks in the mail within 3 weeks. Trupanion is the first pet insurance we have ever used so we don't have a good means of objective comparison but for now, the insurance has already paid for itself! It is a relief to know that we can our dog to the vet without worrying about money.

Yikes. Rate hikes.
Wow these guys suck. 66% rate hike after the first year. So much for the few percent they told me.

Prepare for a big rate change with Trupanion
We have had trupanion for about 1 year now. Until now we have been happy. I have previously given this company great reviews.
I pay $38/month $0 deductable with hip displaysia coverage.
I signed up when my dog was approx 3 months old.
The companies claim at the time was your insurance premium wouldn't increase with age or claims only with increases in veterinary services. Sounds reasonable and the company claims to pride itself in simple language.
Today I recieve in my inbox that their rates are going up. Not just going up, but going up by 3X. My same coverage will now cost $93.85. Their reasoning increases in medical expenses. What a crock of poo. I see the bills they haven't increased 3X in my area.
Your left with changing your deductable to $1000 to get anywhere near your previous rate. Lets not forget the $1k deductable is per illness or injury not per calender year. If you haven't seen the rate increase yet expect it to come within the next year. they seem to be phasing this rate change in.
I'll be cancelling my policy when the rate change occurs.
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.
