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.

Thank God we had Trupanion

We spent thousands on our Pomahuahua over her 13 year lifespan, and when she passed in 2009, we decided that, were we to get another dog, we would buy insurance. Our vet suggested Trupanion. I went online, read about it and signed up. Smart! Smart! Smart!Within the confines of our $250 deductible, Trupanion has saved us thousands, as our new, 16-month-old Pomahuahua (aka Pomchi) is truly an adventure dog and has been bee-stung (anaphylactic shock), eaten rat poison and this week, was bitten in the face by a rattlesnake. I cannot say enough good about Trupanion.

Incredibly fast claims service

I wish every company i dealt with was half as incredible as Trupanion. My eight year old black Lab tore his ACL three weeks ago. The claim has already been paid. No hassles, no delay. Then, 10 days ago, he tore the other ACL. The claim for that was approved today. I am amazed at their service.

Thank God for Trupanion

We have had many dogs over the years and never had insurance for them. So when I was approached by my vet to get insurance for my new pup, a Bassett Hound cross, I had a double take. For some unknown reason I took the insurance. Well, it has paid for itself already, Charlie has been to the hospital twice. The first for something he got into, the second was he had a reaction to the medication his vet ordered for him. The 3 day stay in the hospital quickly added up. But, I felt relieved that I good give him the best possible care that he deserved. Trupanion is quick to respond, and cares about our pets. I reccomend them to anyone looking for the best for their pet.

As advertised, THANK YOU TRUPANION!!

For many that are contemplating pet insurance for your beloved 4 legged family member, please read this. I've been with Trupaion for over a year now and spent about 20 hours researching pet insuarance plans/companies before choosing Trupanion. As with many things, we don't truly know if a person or company with follow through with what they say until it's time to put those words into action. My young 2 yr old cat(Mickey) had an accident which dislocated his tail. As is the case with most accidents or illness, it happened after my Vet of 10 years closed for the day.Trupanion covered 90% of the Vet bill, less the evaluation fee. The total bill was just shy of 3900.00.I received reimbursement of just shy of 3200.00. To my knowledge, Trupainon is the ONLY pet insurance company that reimburses 90% of costs that are after hours. Most might cover 70%. 20% is a huge amount as after hours costs are exceedingly higher than our normal Vet costs. When choosing an insurance company, this was a key reason for choosing Trupanion. I received my reimbursement within 30 days of sending in my first claim. Certainly no complaints there!! I never got the song and dance from Trupaion. My file on Mickey was up to date which makes the process allot easier.Each person I spoke with through this challenging time was genuinely concerned for the health of my Cat. Having pet insurance, the right pet insurance, will all but eliminate having to make that stomach renching choice, which isn't a mater o

2nd TPLO Surgery Completed

I would like to thank Trupanion again for the help they have provided to my loving pet, Isla, and I as we went through Isla's 2nd TPLO surgery within 5 weeks. We are 1 1/2 weeks post 2nd surgery now and she is recovering amazingly well, with hardly a noticeable limp! Isla is a 3 year old lab retriever cross and we can now look forward to many more active years together. Elk Lake Vet hospital where she had both surgery performed gave high compliments to Trupanion as being one of the best companies to deal with. Without Trupanion this would have been an even more traumatic situation to deal with; however, with their support it has been as painless for Isla and I as possible. Thank you so much Trupanion, again!!! Every pet owner should have Trupanion pet insurance!!!!

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.
