Easy enrollment

Enrollment to continue after first month of free coverage offered by breeder was easy. Details of available plans explained to help me select the best one for my puppy. Trupanion offers some benefits other insurers don't.

Legit Pet Insurance

I was a little skeptical when enrolling my pets in the insurance plan that it would actually be legit. I unfortunately had to use it recently after my dog needed emergency surgery and happy to say Trupanion came through and provided the coverage saving me a lot of money.

Beyond Grateful

I can't give enough stars to express the gratitude I have toward the ease of use and coverage we have with Trupanion. We had to travel to another state to get more immediate care for my beloved dog when she presented with sudden neurologic issues and our local emergency vet couldn't find a time to get her in for an MRI for over a month. Knowing we had help to cover the costs allowed us to seek out the best care for our family member and it's a good thing we did. We discovered a good sized brain tumor in our small dog that may have reached a critical point before the first scheduled scan. Trupanion was quick to pre approve and cover the tests and treatments without any hassle or pushback. This allowed us to focus on getting our sweet girl the treatment she needed instead of worrying about the money side of the equation.

I’m already giving them only two stars…

I’m already giving them only two stars because I just signed up my puppy for insurance and before they have given me any service at all they are already asking me for a review when they haven’t conducted the first bit of business with me which is very annoying already to be asked that if a company that had done nothing for you yet! It’s a little early to be asking me for a review that I feel is just a way to try and get a positive review goin for them before they have even done the work which I find shady an I do not like it almost makes me want to cancel my insurance with them already to be asking me for a positive review before you have even done anything for me. So I’ll give u a review I give you two stars for aggravating me to ask me for a review before you’ve done the work maybe next time try earning it an you will get a better review because to me that’s a shady way to get your ratings up higher without actually earning it! Try harder trupanion and do better on your rates because think they are too high for a pet bc pets don’t utilize thier insurance the way that us humans do an they don’t visit doctors usually regularly unless the animal is sick so I think the rates should be a little lower. It’s sad that we basically get ripped off for things that we basically have to have in life for health reasons and companies like this seem to take advantage of that and profit off of it forming multi million dollar companies off our basic needs just trying to keep our pets and loved ones alive an healthy it’s simply sad an disgusting honestly since you wanted my honest opinion you got it. I chose this company not bc I wanted too it not because it was great but because it was a necessity if I wanted my pet to live a healthy long life and I feel company’s like this take advantage of the fact that insurance is a necessity so I think they could make pet insurance a little more reasonable for pet owners seeing as it’s a have to basis that’s why most people are choosing to go without insurance an neglecting their animals care bc they simply can’t afford over a thousand dollars a year almost 2,000$ for a pet that may not even get sick it’s just a risk you have to take that’s just it it’s a gamble with a life and more animals are dying bc it’s unaffordable these days I think they are asking alot monthly when most pets don’t even get sick throughout the year or seek care unless there is a health condition

So Thankful We Had Trupanion!

I cannot say enough good things about Trupanion! Shortly after bringing our new puppy home, she became seriously ill with pneumonia and required emergency hospitalization and extensive veterinary care. It was an incredibly stressful and scary experience, but Trupanion made the financial side of things so much easier.

They covered 90% of her eligible medical expenses, and the entire claims process was straightforward and hassle-free. We are beyond grateful that we never had to make difficult decisions about her care based on finances or insurance coverage. We were able to focus on getting her the treatment she needed.

Our puppy is thankfully doing great now, and we are so grateful to Trupanion for being there when we needed them most. Having this coverage gave us tremendous peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time.

The claims process is great…

The claims process for covered services is extremely fast and simple and easy to file online. We’re very pleased with the coverage (wish they’d cover the actual doctor’s fee!) but they have covered the vast majority of claims for our dogs. Very happy we signed our pups up early!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us here and trusting us with your pet's medical coverage, Robert! We aim to provide a quick and efficient claims experience so your focus may remain on your dogs. We also understand how frustrating it can feel when some aspects of your claim are not covered in the way you had hoped. An exam fee is not included in our coverage plan, whether it is for an emergency visit, or wellness, as they are considered part of the general cost of visiting the veterinarian, rather than the treatment of that specific condition. Excluding this allows us to focus on the direct treatment for the unexpected with no caps on coverage. Should you need us now, or in the future, you can reach us anytime at (855)210-8746.

insane rising costs!!

"your monthly cost will go from ¤114.25 to ¤146.10 starting on December 19, 2026". their rising costs per month! is insane and 3x as much as my own insurance, and more than my home, auto, and health insurance combined!!! this is not ok!!!

their reply is bogus- other insurances like Spot or lemonade is half the price for the same coverage. do your research before you end up stuck with a pet insurance company. I know my second dog wont be going through them. they don't cover preventative care or medically needed food prescriptions. They will not cover holistic/rehab care unless you pay EVEN MORE than you already do for the 'basic' membership. they wont cover behavioral health needs. it should not be going up this much EVERY SINGLE YEAR. my car insurance maybe goes up 3 dollar per month? for example and they want to raise it over $30 more a month each year! do better.

Hi Kayla,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us here, and we know it's never easy to see changes to your monthly cost over time. We want pet owners everywhere to feel confident in the coverage plan they protect their pet with, and it's important to us to provide transparency throughout all aspects of our coverage, including our pricing.

Our coverage plans are designed to provide support to our members and their pets throughout their entire lifetime, and we'll never make changes to your pricing just because your pet celebrates a birthday or needs treatment. Instead, we'll regularly review our rates alongside trends and changes we're seeing in the veterinary industry that we cover. The cost of veterinary care has been on the rise over the past few years, as well as the number of pets getting enrolled and seeking treatment. In order for us to continue providing each of our members with access to unlimited payouts in the event of the unexpected, we'll make the necessary adjustments to our pricing to stay aligned with these rising costs in the industry. That way, we'll always be able to be there for you and your pet whenever you need us most.

Your situation is important to us, and we want you to know that we're always available to chat through your account and pricing with you in further detail directly to offer our support. Please call us whenever we can help at (855)210-8746. We're here for you 24/7!

Take care,
