So Grateful

When I had to leave my pup Piglet at the vet hospital for over three days while they ran tests to try and figure out why she wasn't eating and regurgitating putrid brown liquid, it was one of the most stressful situations I have been in. The only thing worse than the bill I was racking up was the fact that they didnt know what was wrong with her. I work for a non-profit and live to paycheck to paycheck. I can't even imagine what I would have done had I not had Healthy Paws. I could relax knowing that I wouldn't have to go into debt when this was all over. Not only did HP approve my claims within a few days but the money was in my account ready for me to pay off my credit card in a few weeks. So grateful for this insurance. I also had a great experience with their customer service when I needed to adjust a claim that I had already submitted.

Grateful

My little girl Piglet is a naughty one. During Christmas she somehow managed to ingest a giant rubber ball that cause total blockage. It was traveling in her for a weeks so it took on many symptoms and for a long time we did not know what was wrong. When she stopped eating and starting regurgitating non stop we took her to the vet for some expensive tests that were inconclusive so they sent us to an ER where they ran even more tests. Piglet had to stay with them for days while they ran tests, and it was one of the most stressful experiences I have had. I can't even imagine what I would have done if I didn't have Healthy Paws Insurance. I work for a non-profit and live paycheck to paycheck. I had to use my emergency credit card and rack up thousands that I simply would not have been able to pay back any time soon. I am so grateful for Healthy Paws, they made it extremely easy to submit the claims and not only were they approved within a few days but I was refunded 80% of the costs before I even had to pay off my card, so yay! I didn't have to go in debt. Thank you HP!

I enrolled my puppy around 6 months of age, and it was hands down the BEST decision I had ever made. At just shy of the age of two, what we thought was an ACL/CCL tear was soon discovered to be severe hip dysplasia, in both hips, but needing just about immediate attention on the right hip. My almost two year old pup required a total hip replacement . Luckily enough, Healthy Paws covered hip dysplasia, and covered 80% of what would have been an almost $8,000 bill for me. They made it so beyond easy on my end. The made a pre-authorized same-day payment to my vet. My vet called and handled everything from there. They covered all additional related expenses. Again, little did anyone expect, but within 8 months of having a total hip replacement, my dog had popped his hip out, never gave any signs of pain, discomfort, until he couldn’t handle the pain anymore. Scar tissue formed a false hip socket, but eventually led to the feeling of bone-on-bone pain. Once again, my angels At Healthy Paws were there again! My dog required a hip-re-replacement and another costly surgery, and as previously done, they made a same-day payment for another $5,300 bill. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for them! My mind is always at ease knowing I don’t have to worry about my dog and medical treatment. They truly are angels. They make it so hassle free to submit a claim and they’re all extremely frienly and empathetic. Within a few days after returning home from both surgeries, Healthy Paws staff reached out to inquire about how my dog was doing. Anytime my pet comes up in conversation or I learn of someone who doesn’t have pet insurance yet or is planning on getting a dog, I ALWAYS brag about Healthy Paws and urge them to inquire! Even my vet said they’ve never had pet insurance companies make same day payments like Healthy Paws did. At this most recent visit, I could see other pet parents in the waiting room listening in on my conversation regarding my vet bill and what the pet insurance company covered on the same day! So all in all, I am an EXTREMELY happy Healthy Paws client and they have myself and my pup for LIFE! No lifetime or annual maximums, and no premium increases for submission of claims. What’s better than that piece of mind?!

I have been very happy with Healthy Paws Pet Insurance.

I actually have my 2 youngest dogs insured with Healthy Paws...a 2 1/2 year old dalmatian and a 1 1/2 year old border terrier. I have been very grateful to have this insurance with my dalmatian; my only regret is that I waited until she was over a year and already had some pre-existing conditions. That being said, she has had some issues pop up that it has been very helpful to have had her insured. Healthy Paws customer service is great...they really seem to care about my pets...and it's quite easy to file a claim. I have been very happy with Healthy Paws Pet Insurance and would highly recommend it...just do it sooner than I did!
