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.

Super friendly and helpful staff makes you feel comfortable.

Super friendly and helpful staff, makes you feel comfortable. But it is really expensive, especially getting to your deductible.

My dog recently needed knee surgery.

My dog recently needed knee surgery. It was a very complicated surgery and I was really stressed about it. From the first time I contacted the team at Trupanion they where extremely helpful and sympathetic. They where quick to pre approve the surgery and paid my vet directly saving me more stress. I would recommend Trupanion to any new pet owner Thanks for all your help!

False advertising - Stay away from Trupanion

Hello, I discourage everybody to use Trupanion insurance for your pet. We recently submitted a claim for a treatment my dog received. When we count all the exclusions (taxes, examination fees, deductible applied only on covered fees, etc), we realise that their coverage is negligible. For a total bill of 1781,35$ of hospitalisation, the total coverage was only of 278,24$. If we soustract the deductible of 700$, the coverage was only of 25,7% which is pretty far from the 90% advertised everywhere. You really have to read carefully the policy to realise that Trupanion is a really bad insurance. Therefore, their marketing is pretty much a fraud! After doing my research among friends and Facebook groups, I realised that a lot of people have experienced the same problem with Trupanion. Furthermore, Trupanion has a pretty bad have a pretty bad customer service. If you look at the other bad reviews on Trustpilot, they will reply the same preformulated text meaning absoluty nothing. Don't hesitate to reach me if you want some further informations regarding the bad experience I had with Trupanion. Kind regards, Arianne

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.
