Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Trupanion, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company) provides medical insurance for cats and dogs throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
The financial data as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and, in management's opinion, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2017 (the 2016 10-K). The Company's accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the 2016 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their original presentation to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates. See Note 1 to the audited financial statements included in the 2016 10-K for additional discussion of these estimates and assumptions.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During Period
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) amending the accounting for income taxes and requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and has retrospectively applied the provisions of this standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU amending the accounting for employee share-based payments, including income tax recognition and classification. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2017. As a result, the Company has elected to use actual forfeitures in the estimate of stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, the guidance related to the accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulted in an initial adjustment as of January 1, 2017 to the Company's net operating loss deferred tax asset to eliminate the Company's existing windfall pool amounting to $4.3 million, which was offset by an adjustment to the Company's valuation allowance. Finally, tax withholding of shares will be allowed up to the employee's maximum individual tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction without resulting in liability classification of the award, subject to the Company's internal policies for making this election.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU amending the lease presentation guidance. The ASU requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the rights and obligations created by those leases on the consolidated balance sheets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2019. The Company has determined this guidance will require recognition of a lease liability and corresponding asset on the consolidated balance sheets equal to the present value of minimum lease payments. The carrying amount of the asset is derived from the amount of the lease liability at the end of each reporting period.
Net Loss per Share
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus, when dilutive, potential common shares outstanding using the treasury-stock method. Potential common shares outstanding include stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

The Company evaluated its securities for other-than-temporary impairment and considers the decline in market value for the securities to be primarily attributable to current economic and market conditions. For debt securities, the Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis which may be at maturity.

The Company measures the fair value of restricted cash, foreign deposits, and money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of the municipal bond is based on either recent trades in inactive markets or quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company's other long-term assets balance included a $2.6 million note receivable, recorded at its estimated collectible amount, plus accrued interest. The Company estimates that the carrying value of the note receivable approximates the fair value. The estimated fair value represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy, and is based on market interest rates and the assessed creditworthiness of the third party.
The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt based upon rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. This is a Level 3 measurement. Based upon the terms of the debt, the carrying amount of long-term debt approximated fair value at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Debt
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]
Debt
The Company has a revolving line of credit, secured by any and all interests in the Company's assets that are not otherwise restricted. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable monthly at the greater of 4.5%, or 1.25% plus the prime rate. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, borrowings on the revolving line of credit were limited to the lesser of $30.0 million and the total amount of cash and securities held by the Company's insurance subsidiaries (American Pet Insurance Company and Wyndham Insurance Company (SAC) Ltd. Segregated Account AX). The borrowing agreement includes other ancillary services and letters of credit of up to $4.5 million and $3.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company's outstanding balance for ancillary services and letters of credit of $1.5 million as of June 30, 2017 and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2016, reduces available borrowing capacity on the line of credit. The facility also requires a deposit of restricted cash of $0.6 million. The agreement was most recently amended in March 2017 to extend the maturity date to December 2019. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company's outstanding borrowings under this facility were $6.5 million, recorded net of financing fees of $0.2 million, with $22.0 million remaining available to borrow.

Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to litigation matters and claims arising from the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company does not believe any such matters to be material individually or in the aggregate. These views are subject to change following the outcome of future events or the results of future developments.

Claims Reserve
Supplementary Insurance Information, for Insurance Companies Disclosure [Text Block]
Claims Reserve
The claims reserve includes unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses and an estimate of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) to the Company. The estimate, which involves actuarial projections, is based on management's assessment of facts and circumstances currently known, and assumptions about anticipated claims patterns, including expected future trends in claims severity and frequency. Reserve estimates are continually refined as claims are reported and settled. Changes in management's assumptions and estimates may have a relatively large impact to the claims reserve and associated expense.
This estimate is made for each of the Company's two segments, subscription business and other business. The subscription business segment includes monthly subscriptions related to the Company’s medical plan which are marketed directly to consumers, while the other business segment includes all other business that is not directly marketed to consumers.
Summarized below are the changes in the total liability for the Company's subscription business segment:

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]
Segments
The Company has two segments: subscription business and other business. The subscription business segment includes monthly subscriptions related to the Company’s medical plan which are marketed directly to consumers, while the other business segment includes all other business that is not directly marketed to consumers.
The chief operating decision maker uses two measures to evaluate segment performance: revenue and gross profit. Additionally, other operating expenses, such as sales and marketing expenses, are allocated to each segment and evaluated when material. Interest and other expenses and income taxes are not allocated to the segments, nor included in the measure of segment profit or loss. The Company does not analyze discrete segment balance sheet information related to long-term assets.

Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Trupanion, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company) provides medical insurance for cats and dogs throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
The financial data as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and, in management's opinion, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2017 (the 2016 10-K). The Company's accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the 2016 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their original presentation to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates. See Note 1 to the audited financial statements included in the 2016 10-K for additional discussion of these estimates and assumptions.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During Period
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) amending the accounting for income taxes and requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2017 and has retrospectively applied the provisions of this standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU amending the accounting for employee share-based payments, including income tax recognition and classification. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2017. As a result, the Company has elected to use actual forfeitures in the estimate of stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, the guidance related to the accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies resulted in an initial adjustment as of January 1, 2017 to the Company's net operating loss deferred tax asset to eliminate the Company's existing windfall pool amounting to $4.3 million, which was offset by an adjustment to the Company's valuation allowance. Finally, tax withholding of shares will be allowed up to the employee's maximum individual tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction without resulting in liability classification of the award, subject to the Company's internal policies for making this election.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU amending the lease presentation guidance. The ASU requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the rights and obligations created by those leases on the consolidated balance sheets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2019. The Company has determined this guidance will require recognition of a lease liability and corresponding asset on the consolidated balance sheets equal to the present value of minimum lease payments. The carrying amount of the asset is derived from the amount of the lease liability at the end of each reporting period.
Fair Value Notes Receivable (Policies)
Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]
As of June 30, 2017, the Company's other long-term assets balance included a $2.6 million note receivable, recorded at its estimated collectible amount, plus accrued interest. The Company estimates that the carrying value of the note receivable approximates the fair value. The estimated fair value represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy, and is based on market interest rates and the assessed creditworthiness of the third party.
Claims Reserve Claims Reserve (Policies)
Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block]
The estimate, which involves actuarial projections, is based on management's assessment of facts and circumstances currently known, and assumptions about anticipated claims patterns, including expected future trends in claims severity and frequency. Reserve estimates are continually refined as claims are reported and settled.
