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.

AMAZING !!!

Archie tried to eat a bee - it stung him on the inside of his mouth - he started throwing up, and having trouble breathing.Off to the Emergency Clinic for treatment. We submitted the claim by Fax the next morning, we had an immediate response by e-mail from Trupanion and the claim was processed and paid in less than a week. Trupanion staff are helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable. This is our third dog and third insurance company (one per dog !). This is the best yet. Thanks, Trupanion This was the third time we had submitted a claim, and the previous two were handled in the same efficient, professional manner.

Trupanion is the pet insurane to have!!!

Trupanion is incredible. My 4 yr old rottie Marley is an accident waiting to happen. I have spent more money in medical expenses in his 4 years than I did on two other rotties that both lived to be 12 yrs. So I decided that it was time to purchase insurance. After researching various plans I decided on Trupanion. Less than two months after enrolling, Marley tore his ACL and required surgery ($3858). Unbelievabley Trupanion has covered 90% of the cost of this surgery. I cannot say enough good things about this insurance!! I am not someone who usually writes reviews but this company has come through for me. I would highly recommend Trupanion.

Trupanion Canada - excellent insurance

My dog was diagnosed by her verterinarian with distichia and referred us to an opthamologist - the opthamologist rediagnosed my dog with ectopic cillia and the surgery was done. Her original vet had told me that her pet insurance wouldn't cover any cost for this as it's a congenital disorder, well, he was wrong. My claims have been processed and Trupanion covered the costs. For my first time actually using my dog's insurance, Trupanion has made it a positive experience!

dog insurance - male mini sch.

I do not know what I would do without my dog insurance as I am retired but on a very low income and Kaiser has had to have his both legs operated on as well as cancer over this past year and there would be no way I could fork out the amount of money it cost by myself so I feel it is well worth the amount you pay out each month and when your animal gets ill it sure helps to know that you have help in handling the money factor. Thanks Sandra Norman

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.
