Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Our Sammie of 10 years died of an illness that lasted 18 months. His medical bills and prescription drug bills added up to $8000.00. We were blind sided by his diagnosis. We were unprepared for the cost involved in maintaining his quality of life, we had no pet insurance. After our doggie past we brought a new Sammie pup into our home and the first thing we did was enroll him in Healthy Paws pet insurance. We chose Healthy Paws after doing much research and comparing other insurance plans. We found Healthy Paws to be the most comprehensive plan for our pup, with the least exclusions of any other plan. 3 Months after enrollment, our 5 month old puppy got into something nasty and spent five days in a hospital being treated for liver failure due to toxicity. it was very comforting knowing Healthy Paws had our back. We were able to put all our energy in getting our puppy well, rather than spending time worrying how we were going to pay his medical bills. Claims were reimbursed immediately with no hassles. Can't say enough about Healthy Paws.

It has been a pleasure to work with healthypaws. Unfortunately, my dog needed bladder surgery and healthypaws was quick in filing claims and processing payment. Most importantly - they checked in and showed they care about my dogs well being after the surgery!

I love this company. Super customer service and fast reimbursement. I fax a claim and within hours they email me that it's being processed and then another email saying completed,all in the same day. I love the fact they cover acupuncture,laser and rehab. My newf has lumbar sacral instability which causes him nerve pain and hind limb weakness. These modalities really improve the quality of his life. There was a period of time where he went weekly for a couple of months. Healthy Paws never gave me the run around or delayed payment.He also has been to the ophthalmologist for an eyelid tumor (benign). They used a laser to remove it. He also has developed dry eyes and will need medication for the rest of his life. Again all this covered by Healthy Paws. They don't pay for the office visit,but that's OK. I chose a $100 deductible and 90% reimbursement. My other newf is also covered by Healthy Paws. Fortunately she is quite healthy,but I have piece of mind knowing that whatever comes up I won't have to make the choice of to treat or not because of the cost. I can't say enough good things about this company. I previously had VPI and what a difference. It was like pulling teeth to get reimbursed and it took weeks.

I've had pet insurance through Healthy Paws ever since I adopted my then 9-year-old pit bull/ACD mix from the shelter. She is now 11 years old. She needed surgery for a torn cruciate ligament. Not only was working with Healthy Paws EXTREMELY easy and stress-free, but the customers service was always quick. I would email a question and receive a response within half an hour! I uploaded 2 invoices to submit a claim online for her surgery and 1 was processed the next day, and the other the day after. WOW! I am completely happy with Healthy Paws and recommend them to everyone. All of the people I interacted with were so helpful and kind. The coverage they provided was exactly what was stated in my plan. Nothing hidden, nothing hard to understand. It's been such blessing, especially having an older dog. They will have my business for as long as I have pets. I have peace of mind knowing that all my future interactions with them will be easy as well. Thank you, Healthy Paws team!!!!!

Because we had a dog previously who had significant health problems and astronomical vet bills, when we got a second dog, (a puppy), we decided to get insurance for both dogs. This was in 2010. The insurance would only cover new problems for our old dog, but all problems for our new dog. Recently our second dog had GDV. This is something to which barrel chested dogs are prone, where the animal's stomach flips, cutting it off from the blood stream. If not corrected within two hours or so, the dog dies. We got Pickle, our 4-year old Standard Poodle straight to the emergency vet. They administered major surgery to save her, but save her they did. $4,500 and 6 weeks later, she is healed, happy and healthy again. After filing our claim to Healthy Paws, our part of the bill was about $500. The $4,000 was reimbursed to us within the week by Healthy Paws. They are a great company and we are so grateful for their coverage and the protection they have given our dogs.
