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.

Trupanion = Awesome pet insurance

I have owned labrador retrievers a long time and had another pet insurance that really did not pay for anything as they said it was "pre-existing" ... ugh.. I thought all pet insurance plans were like then and stayed away from them. Then we got two more lab puppies and my hubusand was told that Trupanion was a good insurance. While a bit skeptical, we decided to get it anyway. When my black lab, who at one of year of age, started to limp, and found out that she needed TPLO surgery, I so happy to have pet insurance. The surgery alone is well over $3,500. Trupanion paid 90% of that. And they processed the claim better than my health care company. Trupanion has awesome people working the phone & email. I can't say enough about how happy I am with Trupanion. If you have an animal, it's the best gift you can buy your pet to know that when a illness or injury happens, you won't hesitate to get everything done on your baby, because you have Trupanion!

Fast and friendly

Always fast and friendly responses. Been quicker as of late. On average, I receive an email a few days after the claim, processed within a week, and cheque artives a few days later. Other than a mishap about deductibles (not fulfilled and claiming a year later), service has always been exceptional.

porcopine encounters

I have spoken to many people about their claim experiences with other providers and have heard stories about exemptions for 2nd or 3rd claims such as quill removal. Trupanion has never questioned our claims and has always processed them quickly. After 3 years of off leash walks I find that my 2 huskies will now be on leash which is unfortunate. eventually there will be some fully fenced off leash areas in calgary. I recommend Trupanion to all and wish I had purchased insurance for my previous 2 huskies who over the course of 12 years cost us around $30,000.00 I couldn't be more pleased with a provider.

Outstanding!

I am more than happy that I selected Trupanion when purchasing a policy for my dog. She has had a couple of bad injuries this year, and Trupanion almost always has our claim reviewed and payment sent within a week!

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.
