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.

Great experience with Trupanion

My 4 month old puppy got very ill and was hospitalized for a total of 3 nights. This was very stressful and as you can imagine, the vet bills started to rack up. Submitting the claims was extremely easy. After submitting my first invoice, I needed to contact customer service (for an issue on my end) and I recieved support immediately and my issue was resolved within minutes by a very kind and helpful customer service representative. Before all my claims were approved, I calculated how much I thought should be approved and was relieved when I got notice of approval and it worked out to be what I calculated. Nothing is hidden, everything that is covered and not covered is very transparent. I am very thankful for Trupanion for giving me peace of mind that I will be able to get my sweet puppy the medical care she needs without the need to worry about finances. I love that I could adjust the premium/deductible to find what worked for me and the fact that I can increase my deductible and lower my premium at a later time if I find the premiums difficult to manage. Also, I love the fact that the premiums will not go up as she ages and will only go up due to inflation. If you are thinking of getting a puppy, I recommend you consider going with Trupanion. Get it before any health conditions arise so that there are no pre-existing conditions and everything is covered.

I have read a lot of reviews

I have read a lot of reviews. I have seen the low rating and the high rating reviews. I am troubled by the low rating and the outcry by some owners, whom I believe are great owners that are frustrated. On 2022/04/25 my Shiba, who is 12, had another allergy treatment which was 90% covered. A gentleman asked me how my experience was and I said I was only denied one claim for a luxating patella that was flagged prior to insurance. Ever since then it has been easy. He told me his experience being a little turbulent and I asked if he adopted an older dog, which he said yes to. His dog was 6. For anyone that gets a middle aged dog, understand there is a good possibility there are preexisting conditions. For anyone complaining about the premiums...it is a business. Nothing is cheap. You are hoping that you can be like the 70% of us that don't have anything major occur....and want it to be cheap. For those that experience large bills, the insurance pays off. That is why it is called insurance. If you think you are paying too much, but never get use out of the insurance then you have been fortunate and done your pet a great service. I paid diligently for years with very little to claim. I have made over $5k of claims since October of 2020. I have never had a hassle and haven't had to talk to anyone. My vet submitted claims and my dog received treatment. There is a mindset of setting aside money every month. That is a very thoughtful and responsible thing to do. As I wrote before, this is insurance. You are hoping to be part of the general 70%. In the event that you are in the 30%....and you have something that's not pre-existing like cancer or getting hit by a car, then that also gives you something to think about. I am thankful for the care my dear companion dog is receiving. I know she is getting up there in age and I am beside myself knowing our timeline together is narrowing. My experience with Trupanion is they took cost out of the equation for top notch care. This has increased the quality of my beloved best friends life as she heads into her final chapter. Thank you Trupanion!

Glad we have coverage.

Easy to use and great to have coverage when we need it.

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.
