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.

Happy Trupanion Customer

We have used other insurers but due to rapidly increasing premiums, we have ended up with both our dogs on Trupanion. One of our dogs was diagnosed with Lymphoma 14 months ago. Because we had insurance, we didn't even think twice about whether or not to put him through chemotherapy. He went through many months of chemo and is still in remission. The extra time that chemo has provided him has been full of happiness and health. Trupanion has been excellent throughout the whole treatment process. It is nice to have the peace of mind that we can choose the treatment that is the best for our pet and are not limited by what we think is cheapest.

Great Service and Coverage

I have been a client for 4+ years and have always found the service excellent and "hassel" free - both uncommon traits in the insurance world. Our standard white poodle is very active and seems to find trouble - two major incidents so far - and Vet Insurance has always been there. I must admit that when our vet recommended Vet Insurance I was more than a bit sceptical but no more - when I talk with fellow dog owners about my experience they are more than a bit surprised given their experience with other carriers. Keep up the good, no excellent, work. CHEERS!

Expensive, but worth it

My six-year-old spaniel has had some major medical bills within the last year, and much of it has been reimbursed through Trupanion. I realize that, basically, pet insurance is a way of "saving up" for the worst occasions, so it isn't cheap, but it certainly is the best way to budget for those major bills - and Trupanion has promptly reimbursed me for most of my big claims.

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.
