Healthy Paws Really Is Different...

I had insured my two dogs and kitty cat with other providers but I usually found that, after paying premiums for years, when it came time to use the insurance policy, the reimbursement process often was laborious and, in many cases, the company would not cover a cost which seemed to have been included. Plus these companies would try to get out of paying for care once the policy renewed by then classifying it as a "pre-condition." My experience with Healthy Paws has been completely different. The company has kept its word on its advertised promises and has handled all of my claims very expeditiously. I have been impressed by the company's ethic and how it has helped taken care of my furry family members. The only minor problem I had was with some files sent by our veterinarians to Healthy Paws but this was eventually resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Overall I have been very impressed with Healthy Paws and would recommend the company over any other pet insurance plan with which I am familiar.

EXCELLENT INSURANCE

Have had this insurance for close to 2 years and can't say enough good things about it. Have used it a few times and the customer care and service has alwsys been outstanding. Recently had to take my beautiful black labrador to emergency because she had stopped eating and drinking anything and all she wanted to do was lay under the bed. Come to find out she had a foreign matter stuck in her esopagus and required emergency surgery. Thank God for Healthy Paws. I had reimbursement check in my hands in less than a week. Now my little girl is happy again and eating everything in sight and playing with her toys once again. I am so glad I got this insurance.

Awesome customer service

Healthy Paws is awesome. Both of my girls have had illnesses that we would not have been able to afford without Healthy Paws. Daisy our 2 1/2 yr old Cavalier King Charles spaniel was recently diagnosed with cancer. She has undergone surgery and is now facing several weeks of radiation (estimated cost $6000) Healthy Paws received and processed my claim within 24 hrs. What a blessing to know that Healthy Paws has my girls covered. I have recommended Healthy Paws to all of my friends and family members and shared countless stories on Facebook of how grateful we are for Healthy Paws.

Good but initial documentation could be better

Overall, I am very pleased with Healthy Paws. They genuinely seem to care about the health of my pet, reimburse me quickly, and make filing claims relatively fast and easy. My only complaint was my first experience with filing a claim. I submitted my dog's medical history repeatedly and would still get auto-generated emails asking for more documentation. The problem was I never knew what they were specifically asking for. After several calls and email exchanges I was eventually able to sort it out. Since the initial paperwork filing, my experience with Healthy Paws has been extremely pleasant. Also, I am happy to say that the cost of the insurance is reasonable and it has already paid for itself in terms of helping lessen vet costs. Therefore, I would definitely recommend Healthy Paws to another pet owner.

LOVE Them

Hello, I currently have 6 dogs and 1 cat insured with Healthy Paws Pet Insurance. I switched from another well-known pet insurance company to Healthy Paws, and I'm so glad I did. Healthy Paws has processed all my claims easily and very quickly, and I've submitted a lot of claims because I have so many. Often my claims for an existing condition are processed in only 1 day or less. Of course newer conditions can take slightly longer, as they have to look over the medical records, but even then it's usually processed within 7-10 days. And when I call them, all of their people are very customer friendly. Additionally, they will even periodically send me an email to check on one of my dogs if they've developed a chronic condition. Many people I meet don't have pet insurance because they've heard bad stories about the other companies, as many of them have strict guidelines and limits on coverage. Through my research, I found out that Healthy Paws has NO yearly or per incident limit on coverage, so I can have peace of mind. And compared to the last company I used, Healthy Paws is significantly cheaper and has never given me a hassle over processing my claims. We'd have no savings by now if it wasn't for having this pet insurance. The very reasonable monthly fee is more than worth it if your dog/cat develops cancer or seizures and needs an MRI or chemo....this has happened multiple times to me over the past few years. You don't want to sacrifice your companion's hea
