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.

Outstanding

I have a 3 1/2 month old Goldendoodle 'Georgie'.He had been experiencing diarrhea for about 5 days so I took him to his vet.Georgie needed a number of tests to be run and also needed to be put on medication. The total bill was hundreds of dollars and my claim was settled in about 1 week. The peace of mind that being with Trupanion gives me is wonderful. I never have to second guess that my dogs health can be taken care of and the speed at which my claim was handled was second to none.Thank you very much.

The Best

I have two Golden Doodle puppies who will be puppies and in the first year I have had a bout of urinary infections and diarrhea and a very unfortunate incident in which one of them swallowed a sock that almost cut her intestine in half. Trupanion handled all claims professionally, quickly and fairly. It is very comforting to be with a company that has the coverage Trupanion does and knows how we pet owners treat our animals as members of our family.

Prompt, fair, and professional service. Pleased.

Ingested poison, treated immediately. Claim submitted and settled in a timely and professional manner. This is the second claim I have submitted in Chimo's 6 years and both were handled fairly and to my complete satisfaction.

Excellent customer service

The customer service was exceptional. I received a call from a Trupanion rep. to let me know that my fax wasn't clear and readable which gave me the opportunity to send a new fax and facilitate my claim. My claim was resolved very quickly with the reimbursement that I expected! I have and will recommend Trupanion insurance. Thank you.

One Happy Dalmatian Owner!

I have a 1 year old Dalmatian named Brooklyn. 1 year old exactly, her birthday is today! As you may know, Dalmatians have a ton of energy, and ours brings new meaning to that description. We've had MANY emergency vet visits with Brooklyn. From a split open head at 3 months to two teeth being extracted because she collided with another dog and broke them, and several others instances, Trupanion has been there for us each and every time without question! These claims were each in the $100-$600 range. The claims process is stupid simple and the one-page form can be filled out by any five year old. All we have to do is provide our vet with the form and they submit the claim for us. Within about two weeks we have a check for 90% of the costs (not including the actual visit fee, which isn't covered). The one time I had to call Trupanion, when Brooklyn lost her ID tags, the customer service rep was one of the nicest reps I've dealt with ever. Anyway, I'm sure you can see that I think Trupanion is the greatest. I only wish they were around when I had my last Dalmation!

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.
