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.

Typical insurance company
Update: The day I posted here trupanion contacted my family and overturned the previous denial. The right people at the company saw the post and helped me out. Frustrating but in the end I think they did the right thing.
My dog occasionally ate his and his sister's poop when he was a baby. We investigated it as a cause for his diarrhea. It was not an emergency. 7 months later he obtained a piece of corn and ate the cob. As any dog probably would. He needed surgery to get it out. Trupanion said that because he ate foreign objects (his poo) twice before coverage, they wouldn't cover the surgery. I disputed in writing and over the phone. They say because he has a habit of eating foreign objects, it's not covered. Trupanion is a typical insurance company. Likely better off putting money aside in a savings account. I have been a customer of trupanion for 10 years with multiple dogs. Their response below to my appeal.
Claim: 8905831
We have completed the secondary review of Charlie’s claim, with an assessment of the medical records and the clarification
provided by Dr. XXXX from XXXX Veterinary Hospital. Charlie’s records document he, “eats his & other dogs poo that is in
the yard,” (12/13/2021) and, “gets into his poop sometime,” (1/13/2022). Per Trupanion policy we do not cover ingestion of
foreign material if, “the same or similar activity occurred more than once before your enrollment.” (9.B.VI). Unfortunately, as
Charlie is documented to have more than one episode of foreign material ingestion (feces) prior to enrollment, we remain unable
to provide coverage for his recent corn cob ingestion
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.
