Protection so you can protect your pets

A couple years ago, I decided to get pet insurance for my year-old kittens. I could find no clear comparison between companies—it was worse than car insurance. I opted to go with Healthy Paws based on a friend’s personal experience. Later that year, one of my girls was diagnosed with renal disease—quite rare in a female year-old cat! She now sees a specialist every few months to monitor progression of her disease, and Healthy Paws has been there every step of the way. I can’t imagine how I would handle these life-long expenses without Healthy Paws. And when—not if—she requires surgical intervention for blocked ureters or a blocked urethra, I know I’ll be able to handle the cost because of Healthy Paws. I recently adopted my former foster kittens, and they each got a free month of insurance with another company. However, this other insurer has yearly and annual caps on payouts. I canceled their coverage and returned to Heathy Paws. It was wise, as one had a major emergency last month and ended up in the pet ER. His visit and follow up care would have exceeded the yearly cap of the other insurance. However, with Healthy Paws, I knew I didn’t have to worry. Should another emergency crop up, he’d still have their protection. This is why I continue to use Healthy Paws. They protect me so I can protect my pets.

Unbelievable Provider and Service

My 5 year old Beagle Mix was diagnosed with severe cataracts and virtually blind in both eyes. He looked like he would be a white walker dog on Game of Thrones, with his extremely white and cloudy 'Ghost' eyes. The surgery cost came in at almost $6,000. I thank God for Healthy Paws who approved the claim less than 24 hours after being submitted. They have saved me a lot of stress & financial hardship around the Holidays, which I am forever grateful for. I highly recommend this insurance provider to all pet owners because you never know the expenses that could pop-up at any given time. THANK YOU HEALTHY PAWS!!!

Healthy Paws was the best decision we made

We rescued our first dog in September 2019. My friend told me about Healthy Paws and I signed up. The sign up process was easy and the rates are very affordable. Little did I know 3 months later Carl would need surgery. We had many vet and ER visits before the surgery. This was a huge expense we weren’t expecting.The claim and payment process is easy and straight forward. They followed up to see how Carl was doing. I would highly recommend Healthy Paws!
