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.

You are the BEST!

You people are the BEST! Our English bulldog tore her right rear ACL and you folks covered it (after deductible). As a matter of fact, when we took our bully to her orthopedist, he noticed that we were carrying a Trupanion folder and he said thank heaven we had your service because it's simply the best service out there. We could not have afforded it otherwise. Since then, I've told every pet owner I know to subscribe and invest in your product. We could not be happier. Thank you thank you for your help and support. I wish there were an 11.

Speedy Reimbursement

Submitting Trupanion claims is easy and the review process and reimbursement is quick and efficient. The turnaround for claims is a matter of days, and often reimbursement is within the week. Can't beat that!

Fantastic Insurance

We signed up for Trupanion because we just got a new puppy for our 3 year old Golden Retriever to play with and our vet said this was great insurance. We thought it would be a good idea since we didn't want to eventually have to make a very tough decision about our pet's health over medical bills. Well, little did we know, 2 months after we signed up my 3 year old Golden Retriever was diagnosed with terminal Lymphoma. We were devestated. We never thought we would be faced with this in such a young dog. It was only a few weeks after our 30 day waiting period was over and we thought Trupanion may not pay the claim. Not only did they pay 90% on most of the $1500 of bills we ran up with our primary vet, they also paid for the chemotherapy treatments, over $850, a few days later. What is a very difficult time for our family was made a little easier knowing that Trupanion was right by our side to help with the medical bills. They have no lifetime or per incident caps, you can use any vet you like and they pay based on what the vet bills you, not based on a pre-determined schedule. On top of everything else they paid both claims within a couple of days. I can't get that with my own health insurance. They have a customer for life. As a result we are going to add our cat to the policy as well. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants some peace of mind especially when a life threatening illness strikes. They don't cover well visits/treatments or pre-existing conditi

Trupanion is TRUe!

I didn't have pet insurance when I lost two members of my family (chihuahuas Boo and Ace) in a house fire and had to pay out thousands of dollars to an emergency hospital. Recently, I welcomed two new members in to my family (9 week old chihuahuas Rex and Jackson), and I knew that pet insurance was something I needed to look in to. My local Vet recommended Trupanion, and I am very grateful that they did. One of my puppies (Rex) was admitted to an emergency hospital for a terrible seizure, and it cost over $4,000.00 for the hospitalization, stabilization, MRI, cerebral-spinal fluid tap...etc. My claim was submitted, and in a little over a week my claim had been reviewed and a check for over $3,900.00 was on its way to me. I was reimbursed 90% as promised! Knowing that I have such a reliable pet insurance makes it easier to know that I can do what needs to be done for the sake of my pet. Loving your pet can be a crime with high and unreasonable costs of hospitals and vet clinics, but with Trupanion loving your pet is honored and stress-free. I have to send out a special thanks to Trupanion because without them, Rex wouldn't be here, and that means Jackson wouldn't have his brother, and our family wouldn't be complete. From the bottom of our hearts- Thank you Trupanion; words can't express how grateful we are! We (Rex, Jackson, and I) couldn't do it without you! Sincerely- Rex, Jackson, and Melissa

Straight from the Veterinary Assistant's Mouth

Working for a veterinary clinic I am all too aware of how expensive veterinary care can become and how quickly it all adds up. When my dog contracted a strain of leptospirosis not covered by the vaccine a year and a half ago and ended up in renal failure with permanent kidney damage do I ever wish I had known about Trupanion. Once learning about them I did sign up right away. Although they do not cover my pups pre-existing kidney condition they have since covered close to a thousand dollars in diagnostics for a new problem. Also going above and beyond when I challenged a rejected submittal they provided a 3rd party review and paid out for the claim. I have only had the insurance for about 5 months and have not seen any increase in my premium.I will never be without pet insurance again, I have learned my lesson and will stay a Trupanion customer for all my future pets.

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.
