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.

Extremely Prompt!

My cat inquired a very pricey surgery. Trupanion not only notified me the day of receiving the claim, but processed the claim in three days. I received the check less than a week later. Talk about prompt! In addition, the claim forms or extremely straight forward. The processed claim information was fully detailed with the coverage, what being reimbursed, and what wasn't being reimbursed and why.

Fantastic

I was very hesitant to get pet insurance, however, a friend has Trupanion and he had to use it and Trupanion handled it great, so I signed up. On December 15 2011 my puppy was sick. I tried to get into my regular Vet but couldn't. I took my puppy to the emergency Animal hospital and they did a quote of what they needed to do to diagnose him. The quote was almost $2000.00. I phoned Trupanion to get a quote and the office was closed. The gentleman by the name of Scott answered the call and I explained my situation. He tried the Claims line to see if anyone would answer and they did. The girl was just getting ready to go home and she (Teresa) stayed behind to help me. While I was on the phone with Teresa I told the Vet to xray my puppy to see what was going on. We found out he was full of kitty litter in his intestines. The Vet quoted me $6000.00 to operate on my puppy. Within 1/2 hour I was preappoved for #6000.00. I was so relieved. The Vet was able to give my puppy medication to get the Kitty litter moving and he was able to poop it out. If you think that is amazing I was reinbursed 5 days after the incident. Trupanion thank you for saving my puppy Chewy.

Review

Have not had any unexpected coverage issues in the 4 years I have had the insurance.

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.
