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.

Your quoted rate will NOT stay the same.

Our quoted insurance premiums rose 200% within a year and a half. Insurance is purchased to provide cost certainty, however if your rate can increases three-fold ask yourself if you think its worth it. Truepanion indicated that the cost of pet healthcare rose substantially and our premiums rose accordingly. Trupanion could not provide any data to support this argument. Our orginal quote was for $43 month with no deductible. 18 months later it was $143...Their solution was to offer us a $1000 deductible. THIS IS NOT TERM INSURANCE WITH A FIXED PREMIUM. Premiums can rise at the convenience of Trupanion with no cap on increases.

Trupanion is fantastic

I am so pleased with Trupanion. We have had a number of pets and have never purchased pet insurance. When we got our Anatolian Shepard puppy, our veterinarian suggested Trupanion. I was hesitant but thought it sounded like a good idea. Boy, I am so glad that we signed up. This dog has been sick more times than my other animals put together. The last vet bill would have just about bankrupted us, but Trupanion paid us quickly with no questions. Trupanion is so simple to use and they pay promptly. I couldn't be happier.

Trupanion, man's other best friend!!!

We have a 16 month old Australian Sheperd named Abbey. I was told about Trupanion Pet insurance by our vet when she was 8 weeks old. I reluctantly purchased Trupanion thinking they would be like every other insurance company, quick to take your payments but slow to pay a claim. Was I wrong!Abbey developed a horrific stomach infection that needed emergency surgery. The bill was $6300. Trupanion quickly sent us our reimbursement, minus the normal deductibles. I am so impressed by Trupanion, a company that stands by its word.

Simple Simple Simple

I had a claim with one of my puggles and this was easier than filing a claim for one of my kids. Great response

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.
