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.

I had difficulty navigating the website to complete my enrolment for my dog Ambush II. I called the toll free number and spoke with Andre who was very helpful in the enrolment. He made the process extremely easy and understandable. Thank you Andre.

Fast, quick, but with limitations on coverage

Switched from Pet Secure when I got my new kitten, the process was quick and easy. after the first year they increased the payment from 30 - 40 ish, that doesn’t impress me let’s hope it’s a once in a while thing. Got a second kitten added last week, again quick and easy. BE WARNED they DO NOT cover any Vaccination, wellness visits, or any preventive testing, like a snap test for example. They will only cover something if your cat is showing ‘signs’ of an illness. I was on an all inclusive plan with Pet Secure but Trupanion doesn’t offer any other plan. In summary, while giục and easy they are not cheaper despite what they say than other companies out there so their marketing about shop local is all well and good, except the coverage is lacking with no option to pick a ‘better’ plan with wellness checks covered. I’m of the mindset that preventative tests and vaccines would be covered as to eliminate half the things a cat can catch by vaccinating but they would rather you cat get sick and the. they will cover the costs of that preventative illness (feline cancer for example)….doesnt make sense to me.

Customer support person very helpful

Customer support person who helped us sign up was very nice and helpful. Answered all our questions, explained all the policy documents and stayed on the line until we received the signup confirmation.

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.
