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.

I am an extremely Satisfied Customer

Since getting our dog at 6 weeks old, Amber has suffered from a chronic Urinary Tract Infection. Because of the unknown cause Doctors have performed many diagnostic tests, and even exploratory surgery to find the root of the problem. The cost have been in so far in excessive of $5000.00. Thank God for Trupanion, they have paid 90% of the cost in a very timely manner.

Pet insurance I thought I never needed...

As a lifelong pet owner I had never purchased pet health insurance. I recently purchased a puppy. During her free well puppy exam on her 3rd day in our home she received a clean bill of health. At that visit we were introduced to a free 30 day trial of Trupanion. A week later, being nosey, as all puppies are, she ingested something that could have causaed her great harm or death. We immedialtely rushed her to our new vet (Hometown Animal Hospital), where she recieved exeptional care. The vet's office assisted in filing the claim. Within 2 weeks the claim was reviewed and paid. Although I was skeptical in the beginning, I'm totally conviced. I reviewed other policies with different companies and Trupanion was by far the most comprehensive. I'm a believer.

Worth every penny!

I got this after hearing about it from my vet and within a couple of weeks my puppy got sick and the bill added up to $1000+. Recommended to anyone who has a pet.

Amazing!

I got this insurance when my dog was about 8 months old. I added the hip dysplasia coverage and my total premium per month is $39.25. Thank god I did. Shortly after signing my pup up for Trupanion, we noticed she was walking a little funny and seemed to be having pain. My vet examined her and strongly suspected hip dysplasia but wanted an x-ray to verify. The x-rays were about $220 and she also had bloodwork done prior to the x-rays and sedation. Trupanion paid 90% of all the costs for this to diagnose the dysplasia. I then took her to the vet hospital at Michigan State University to see a specialist. We decided to get a total hip replacement. My pup had her right hip replaced two weeks ago by the best surgeon in the world (literally, the world) and the cost of the surgery and all of the meds, hospital stay, pre-op blood work, and x-rays of her elbows and hips came to just under $5000. Trupanion processed my claim in under a week. I already have my check and they paid 90%, almost $4500. I've had the policy for only 4 months and have paid under $200 in premiums. Trupanion has paid me close to $4800 already for her surgery, diagnostics, and medications for an ear infection and allergies. I couldn't ask for more. Truly amazing!

Excellent company and I recommend to all my friend

Trupanion is the best insurance company I could ask for. My 6 year old American bulldog, Roxy, has cancer and required a splenectomy and chemotherapy. Trupanion has helped save my dog's life and has made this whole experience a lot easier for me. They have paid every claim I submitted so far in a timely fashion and I am confident that they will continue to do so, because Roxy's treatment is still in progress. I will be forever grateful to Trupanion. My other 3 pets are also insured and I recommend Trupanion to everyone I know.

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.
