Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I have two dogs insured with Healthy Paws. Both have needed surgery, which was quite costly. Most recent one was for a herniated disc. The other one had TPLO surgery and meniscus repair. They are working dogs. Without the insurance, I would be buried in debt. Filing is easy and the folks are awesome to work with! I highly recommend this pet insurance!

Healthy paws advertises in big print on their front page that most claims are settled in two days. I’m over three weeks into mine. They sent me an email saying that the invoice I sent isn’t valid, because it needs to be itemized and contain a bunch of specific details. It was itemized and contained everything they listed. So I called and talked to an agent who looked at the bill, agreed it was itemized and said she’d tell the underwriter to review it as is. The status of my claim updated to in progress, but a few days later I logged in to check and it was back to requesting the same information, except this time they didn’t email me or give any notice. I emailed and explained in detail that my invoice fit all their requirements. They responded with a generic email asking for an itemized invoice. These people are unethical, morons or both. Don’t deal with them.

Our 8-year old Labrador Retriever was recently hospitalized for liver failure. He is doing well now, but his medical care was quite expensive and would have been a significant financial burden if we had not had pet insurance through Healthy Paws. I have been so pleased with the support we have received from Healthy Paws. I have been recommending it to all my friends. The claims process has been incredibly quick and easy. It is so nice to be able to make decisions based on what is best for our dog and not be overly stressed by the financial burden associated with his specialty care.

I see I'm not the only one who had to drop insurance with Healthy Pets after many years because of rate increases. In the nine years I was with them, I only had one claim. Then the rate doubled, then tripled. When I asked why, they said it was because I live in an expensive state. I stayed with them because I thought my dog's age meant I had no better options. After the rate increased to $500 a month, I finally dropped them.
