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.

Excellent Company

I did a lot of research and chose Trupanion for my dogs.6-7 months after signing up with them my 11 yr. old collapsed in the living room with a heart issue. She is now 12 and doing wonderful thanks to Trupanion and her vet clinic of course. Trupanion has paid out A LOT of money on her claims. This was the best thing I have ever done for my dogs. This could be the difference between treating and keeping your pet and having to have it PTS due to financial issues. The people are kind and responsive. In my opinion this is a great company.

Trupanion is really great

I was so distraught when my puppy had an accident and had to get knee surgery - it was an emotional and financial strain. But, it was so nice to know that Trupanion was there every step of the way. The customer service is first class, they are 100% responsive and they truly covered everything they promise to.

Happily Surprised

This was my first claim with Trupanion even though we have been insured with the for 3 years. Filing the claim was super easy. I was contacted the next day stating that they had the claim. I was notified less than a week later claim had been processed and the surgery was covered at 90% of cost minuse deductible....exactly as policy states. Many friends and family members were pessimistic about having pet insurance and stated that it probably didnt cover much and may not be a wise choice. I will never have an uninsured pet again so that i wont be faced with a choice of giving them medical attention they need or putting them down. A++++

Thanks for your support

We insured our pets with another company before switching to Trupanion. Within a few months after signing up with them our 12 year old yellow lab became seriously ill, requiring costly and extensive treatment. Unfortunately the treatment was unsuccessful, and our dog passed away. The Trupanion regional representative assisted us in filing our claims, which were approved in a short time. The claims process was easy and straightforward, and Trupanion kept us informed of progress as the claims were processed. Very professional, and very sensitive to the needs of pet owners.

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.
