A pet owner cannot afford to not have this insurance and Healthy Paws is amazing!

I have two labs and enrolled them in Healthy Paws about two years ago after being urged by a fellow dog owner. My oldest, a chocolate has had health issues for most of his life, however, nothing life threatening. Realizing the high cost of specialized veterinary care and upon referral from a friend whom had a near catastrophic illness experience with her lab which could have easily wiped her out financially, I made the wise investment in enrolling my two dogs with Healthy Paws. Recently, my oldest dog became terribly ill and would not eat. Our family vet indicated that his symptoms were beyond their practice and would have to take him to an Emergency Vet offering advanced care. Thankfully, the vets at the emergency center did an amazing job saving him as he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder requiring numerous tests and prescription drugs. He’s now home but certainly not 100% as his recovery will take months. Needless to say, the 3 day emergency stay, tests and drugs costs were significant and would have quickly wiped out my savings. Thank goodness for Healthy Paws!! Filing a claim was simple via their mobile app and within about a week, 70% of his expenses were reimbursed. On top of that, one of their reps contacted me, inquiring about my dog and expressed sincere care and concern. I have NEVER had someone from an insurance company contact me to ask if things were ok. I was amazed In today's day and age of rising health care costs, you CANNOT afford to not take out a policy on your loyal canine or feline companion to cover any unforeseen medical events. I cannot provide a higher recommendation for anyone contemplating pet insurance than to Healthy Paws. As background, I've had my beloved lab for over 12 years and have been through a lot together. Both he and my other dog are the family I never had and I am so appreciative for Healthy Paws and the caring and supportive people that work for this company.

Thank Dog for Healthy Paws!

As a pet parent, you never want to see your pet (baby) sick or injured. Recently, my Great Pyrenees experienced a life threatening bacterial infection which had the potential for a fatal outcome without critical care hospitalization. Iggy was in the hospital for 11 days. From the beginning, I worked with the Veterinary Hospital, telling them I had Healthy Paws pet insurance. Thank Dog for Healthy Paws. I was able to focus on Iggy's care and treatment versus worrying about the hospital bill and if I would be able to afford care. Healthy Paws with my permission, direct paid the Veterinary Hospital. Everyone at Healthy Paws has been rooting for Iggy and each person I worked with showed me that they truly care about the animals they insure. I have 2 dogs, and I will be switching my older dog over to Healthy Paws versus his current insurance company. This thanksgiving holiday, I am thankful to have Iggy Valentine with us, feeling much better while she continues to improve. I am grateful to Healthy Paws pet insurance for allowing me to get the care needed for Iggy and focus on her medical needs, rather than focus on her medical bills. I will be recommending Healthy Paws to anyone that comes into my boutique pet store, as well as anyone I meet while volunteering for the Puppy Up Foundation. As a dog mom that has lost 3 dogs to cancer, I can tell you, that pet insurance is necessary to ensure we can do everything for our furfriends.

HealthyPaws is the way to go for insurance!

I am very pleased with HealthyPaws as the insurance carrier for my Frenchie. My boy has had a decently long list of health issues. Being a bulldog is not easy as they come with many issues. My boy had various surgeries and treatments. HealthyPaws been there the whole time and covered him. Having this security is helping me greatly to reduce my stress level as well. HealthyPaws is highly recommended and has a great team of caring and supportive personnel on the phone and filing the claims online is a breeze as well. HealthyPaws is the way to go for insurance!!

They're Excellent!

My Vizsla, Trooper, is an adorable, energetic boy that has been a part of our family since he was 7 weeks old. He loves snuggling with all of us, going for walks… And eating socks. He’s done this four times. I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but the first three were not an issue. The fourth one was the magic bullet. It was lodged in his gut and surgery was required to remove it. My mom used to laugh at me for having health insurance for my dog. She doesn’t anymore, after she saw just how wonderful the folks at Healthy Paws were in our time of need. The app is easy to use, very helpful and I even filed my claim with it! Their follow-up is amazing, very friendly and I was receiving my settlement within about 10 days or so. I can’t speak highly enough of Healthy Paws. I’ve heard too may horror stories exactly like this one from family and friends, so Trooper has been covered with Healthy paws insurance since he was a puppy and they’ve always been wonderful to us. I’m happy to say his surgery went well, he’s healed up fine… And we have a strict protocol on sock storage now.
