Our Sargent Tibbs was a very affectionate cat with a bad habit of stealing his brother's food as well as people food. Cheese bread being his favorite. Unfortunately, this led to him blocking. With help from our vet, the animal hospital, and online help with a Trupanion rep, we were able to submit our claim to Trupanion and were covered for $10k+. We got 2 more years with him as a result until his passing in January of 2026.

Trupanion has been great insurance to have. Our dog has some health issues and Trupanion saves us a lot of money. When you send in a claim they handle it in a hurry. Very prompt. They will even pay their portion when checking out in a timely manner. Great insurance.

Best pet insurance ever.
My dog is a living example of how this insurance saves dogs. When I got a Saint Bernard, I knew vet bills could be expensive so I bought this insurance, just in case.
It is the best decision I ever made. This company is excellent. My Saint, Maisy, has had many medical issues; she has been in and out of the hospital multiple times. She is five years old. This insurance has never once denied a claim. Not once. I would buy it again without hesitation if I ever had another dog. It has literally saved her life and is worth every penny.

I took out a policy with Trupanion for my new puppy, Kimi, from the day I brought him home on 21 June 2026, believing I was protecting him from unexpected veterinary expenses. My very first claim for an ear infection was denied as a "pre-existing condition."
Their reasoning was that the vet notes recorded Kimi had been scratching his ears for approximately two weeks before the appointment, and they used that estimate to conclude the condition existed before my policy started. This was despite me only taking ownership of Kimi on 21 June.
As a new pet owner, this experience has completely undermined my confidence in pet insurance. You pay premiums expecting support when your pet needs care, only to find that common puppy issues can be excluded based on retrospective assumptions rather than clear evidence.
The appeals process made no difference. After a "thorough reassessment," the original decision was simply upheld with the same explanation.
My experience has left me questioning the value of paying for insurance if the first genuine claim is declined on such technical grounds. I would strongly encourage anyone considering Trupanion to read the policy wording very carefully, particularly the definition of "pre-existing conditions," and compare it with other providers before making a decision.
Unfortunately, my first experience with Trupanion has been extremely disappointing.
***Reference to your message/response below.***
This is very much a message for the general public to read on how great your customer care is supposed to be, where in reality the email I received was “sorry to see you go”.

Hi John,
We're sorry to hear that Kimi needed medical treatment, and we're sending lots of wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery your way. We understand that this hasn't been the experience that you'd hoped for, and we'd like to provide some clarification here regarding our claims process and what to expect from your coverage.
Our plans are here to help with new issues that may show up after a pet's plan is fully in place and any applicable waiting periods are through. In the unfortunate event that an issue begins showing signs or symptoms of starting before that time, even if no formal diagnosis is made, it's considered pre-existing and ineligible for coverage. Please know that while we can't help with conditions that began showing signs of manifestation prior to your coverage's inception date, this doesn't affect our ability to help with new and unrelated issues that may show up down the road.
Your situation is important to us, and we'd like the opportunity to discuss your claims with you directly so that we can provide any further clarification possible and answer any additional questions you may have. We want you to feel confident in Kimi's medical coverage, and our team is available anytime to offer our support. You can reach us 24/7 at (855)210-8746.
Take care,
The Trupanion Team
