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.

Best Pet Insurance

My cat spent six nights at an emergency clinic and had surgery. The bills kept adding up. Trupanion helped my save my pet. Without the insurance, I would not have been able to afford my cat's treatment.

No Red Tape for Removing Bibby's Polyp

My husband and I are completely satisfied with Trupanion. Recently we noticed Bibby had been throwing up for a couple of days - we didn't think much of it because when Bibby doesn't eat at the time we feed him he'll throw up, so we thought it was 'normal' for him. But coming home from work one day we found Bibby glued to his water bowl and drinking excessively. His stomach was swollen and he was nervous to our touch. After blood tests and xrays our vet revealed Bibby has what's called a polyp (a blockage in the stomach lining) which is common in male Shih Tzu's. Bibby had to go through surgery to remove it. Our bill totaled over $3K but thankfully purchasing Trupanion pet insurance for our baby boy with ZERO deductable saved us over $2800.00 - we only paid $300.00. I highly recommend Trupanion for your four-legged loved ones - not only did they save us $$$ but there was absolutely no red tape to cut through.

I cannot say enough good things about Trupanion

This is by far the best thing anyone can do for their pet and themselves.I picked up a brochure at my Vets office after getting a staggering bill for the removal of a tooth and a cleaning. I told myself I did not want this to happen again so I bought the insurance. Unfortunately some months later Bandit was found to have cancer in her bladder. Trupanion has been superb in handling all her insurance needs. Letting us concentrate on getting her help for a quality of life for her remaining days. We even received a call from Michelle, asking how she was doing and were assured that all her Chemo treatments would be taken care of. It is the only time I have ever heard of an insurance carrier call with genuine concern for a client. Thank You Trupanion

Save your money and stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My little dog required surgery for severe peridontal disease. If the dog did not have the surgery he would have contracted an infection and possibly die. My vet thought that this would be covered as I had done preventative steps to avoid this outcome. Short story, I have paid over $4,000 to this company and submitted a claim for $700 and was denied, even though my vet recommended the treatment. I thought I was doing the right thing by getting pet insurance but I will not do so again. I truly believe this company is not out for the interest of your pet but the almighty dollar. Interestingly enough, if my dog had sustained an injury to his mouth like break his jaw, break teeth it would have been covered. I am furious!!! What was I paying for? Please, please put the funds in a separate bank account if you are planning to insure your pet and avoid the lining their pockets. Extremely extremely disappointed. Wonder if they will contact me to thank me for the "positive" review.

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.
