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.

10/10 Exellent Service and Speedy Reimbursement

I chose Trupanion over several different providers for pet insurance due to several reasons. First being I got to choose the coverage I wanted for my pet. The policy has no cap on coverage limit and you can add coverage to the policy for different diseases that effect specific breeds i.e. hip displysia for large breed dogs. Me being the over analyser of everything I even made a spreadsheet comparing the different plans offered from other providers and all in all Trupanion came out ahead as being the most affordable choice for what I needed for my pet. We took our dog to the vet on Tuesday and biopsy done on Wednesay, filled out my portion of the claim form and gave it to the vets office to complete their portion on Friday. Got repsonses in my email stating that each claim was being processed that following Monday and by Friday got email approving the claims and how much reimbursement we will be receiving. Check arrived on Monday. It took Trupanion less than 10 days to process the claims and get our reimbursement in the mail. NOW THATS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. We paid out $1700 in two days for our dog and was reimbursed almost $1100. I am so impressive with the customer service Trupanion provided I would recommend them to anyone and everyone that cares for their pets!

Rate was increased after claim

My dog was bit by another dog in his ear and the ear is hard to heal. So after the initial emergency room visit there were several other visits for the continuing problem of this ear. Trupanion did pay, but I had to go back to them over the deductible, as they tried to charge me the $100.00 twice. They did send it back after my Doctor sent them a letter explaining that it was the same problem. So all in all they were good, but right after they paid me I was notified that my monthly policy cost was increasing. I am saying I will not recommend this company due to the rate increase and the initgial visit at the emergency room they paid no part of. They do no pay for Doctor's examination.

Fantastic

I love this company...they have paid all of my claims for my dog without any questions and the best part is that it was all done in less than a week. I am so glad I have this insurance for my dogs. What a great feeling it is to know that if my dogs become ill I have trupanion to help me...Thanks Trupanion

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.
