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.

Make a claim, pay more for your premium

Trupanion raised our premium $27 over the first three years of my dog's life. That's an obscene amount. At this point, it is definitely cheaper to not have pet insurance. Why did they do this? Because "similar dogs in the area" were making claims. AKA my dog that has made claims due to allergies - who they clearly don't want to insure anymore. And now that screws me on any other insurer, and they know it. It's an absolute bait and switch.

Abusive premium increase

I have never needed to claim, I am lucky I have a young healthy dog. Sadly my premiums have gone up very quick even if she’s only 2 1/2 years old. First time it went up 37%… which in my opinion was a bit abusive. Then again this year it went up another 48%… that’s more than 80% in 2 years. Other insurances went up, but not early as much as this! I had a fire at my house and claimed for more than 200 000$ and my premiums went up less than 10%. 80% in 2 years, I’m wondering how they can find this acceptable. Soon people won’t be able to afford this insurance. Starting to regret my choice and feeling scammed.

Compassionate, efficient, good value care for your pets

Trupanion has been excellent to deal with in every way. Compassionate, efficient, good value care that has helped us to pay our dogs medical bills many times over the years. Communication has always been prompt, courteous, and well explained. There are obviously people that care about animals at their end. Our local Vet Hospital tells us they really like working with Trupanion as well, they get prompt notice of approvals instantly.

Highly Recommend Trupanion

We had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Jack last night after battling a disease called PIMA for the last six months. To say we were stressed and ultimately completely devastated is putting it mildly. Thru it all a Trupanion has stood by us steadfast and true. We have not had a single problem with a single payment for our Jacks medical expenses at all. We cannot say enough good things about Trupanion. In fact we have had ALL of our pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats insured and we find the rates to be more than fair. We trust them implicitly for the best service and by extension the best care for our pets. We Highly Recommend them to everyone we know.

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.
