Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

We have had Healthy Paws for a couple of years now and we have had to use them quite a bit. We have had a couple small claims and 4 very big claims. We have had 4 major knee surgeries and had no problem getting the claims paid. Then after the surgeries they sent emails to check on our girls. I love this company and have had referred many people to them. You can't beat their prices or the ease of getting claims paid!

I am so pleased that I chose Healthy Paws insurance. Not only do they process claims in a timely manner, they follow up to check on the state of your pet's health after health issues arrive. THE BEST!!!

My GSD is recovering from emergency surgery to save his life from his stomach flipping 180 due to bloat/GVD. The emergency vet clinic quoted $5K-$9K for the surgery with no guarantee of the outcome. I was able to say "just do it ASAP" and I knew Healthy Paws would cover most of the cost. Having Healthy Paws insurance removed having to make a painful decision based on finances to save my dog's life. I submitted the claim to Healthy Paws on-line, and a check for ~87% of the cost (minus $250 annual deductible and exam fee) is on its way to me. I STRONGLY recommend Healthy Paws to any dog owner - even unexpected non life threating treatments can cost $100s or $1000s . I decided on Healthy Paws versus other insurances because they are not "schedule" based (which only cover certain treatments for fixed amounts) and have an annual deductible, not a per-incident deductible. They have been prompt and efficient in processing claims, even inquiring how he is doing. So Mikey is doing great, back to normal, and is scheduled to get the 21 staples out of his belly today (ouch!).

Our puppy needed emergency stomach surgery, and it was expensive. Healthy Paws quickly processed our claim, and Toby is making a full recovery. I am now a strong advocate for pet insurance, and Healthy Paws has been excellent.

I would be in a world of hurt without Healthy Paws. I have a 5 year old German Shepherd that is a certified human remains detection dog and active search and rescue K9 in Texas. She was unlucky and developed colonic torsion, only the 2nd case our emergency vet had seen in his 30 years of practice. Starbuck (my GSD) was not feeling well for a few days and despite efforts by my local vet (and $600), she was not recovering. After 2 days, my local vet recommended I take her to a specialty/emergency vet in the city. The specialty vet looked at Starbuck and recommended exploratory surgery as the Xrays were not clearly showing what the problem was, but the surgery would cost between $5500-6000! They said we could wait another day and see if there was improvement or change, but that there would be added risk of things getting worse. Starbuck is like my kid and we have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours training for search and rescue together. I was definitely going to go through with the surgery, but knowing that I would be covered by Healthy Paws, I didn't even have to consider waiting or how I was going to afford the bill (I'm a graduate student, so money is always tight). Today, Starbuck is healing up well and should be able to start search practice again in a week or so! Healthy Paws has reviewed all of the claims and has sent out checks! I recieved about 90% of the expenses back turning a $6500 nightmare into a much more manageable $700 exercise in belt tightening!
