Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Katinka, our Shepard-mix dog, was adopted from a nearby pound. She was found in a ditch, tiny and about 6 weeks old. Now, a good year later, she is a big beautiful dog. But her teeth didn’t develop correctly, she is missing a lot of the protective enamel on her teeth (enamel hypoplasia). A specialist could improve this by protecting her teeth with a sort of lacquer - a resin bonding. We made an appointment with a dental specialist. They made an x-ray and found in the back of her mouth 2 blocked teeth, and these had to be taken out. Healthy Paws covered a very large portion of this whole big procedure ! (pre- operation blood work, x-rays, anesthesia, surgical extraction, treatment for the enamel hypoplasia). We are happy that we got Katinka’s teeth protected and prevented the likely problems down the road. It did work out well to have Katinka insured with Healthy Paws. For sure, it is a very good feeling to know that our two dogs and two cats are covered well! We are very glad we have insurance with Healthy Paws for all our lovely furry pals.

I'm a student with a limited income and my dog means everything to me. Getting my girl insurance was one of the best decisions I've made. My doggie is very healthy but turned out to be an orthopedic mess. Healthy Paws has helped me greatly in providing her the best medical care available. She has undergone surgery for both elbows and recently got her ACL repaired, and healthy paws has covered 90% of these two expensive procedures.

Healthy Paws gets a "9" instead of a "10" because we've had several claims for repeat treatments relating to a UTI -- and it has taken too long to recent the reimbursement checks. Longer than a month for the most recent claim. The coverage is good and the premiums are reasonable, so I can't complain too much.

Thanks to Healthy Paws our Gracie has fully recovered. The expediency in processing our claims has confirmed to us the honesty and integrity of their company.

Get pet insurance! I cannot tell you how invaluable it has been for me and my animal. Actually, I can! Let me tell you my story. I grew up with many, many animals. Most of them were 90-100% outdoors (dogs, cats, horses...) and not one of them (specifically the "house" animals) ever got sick or in a bit of trouble in their lifetimes! I was the prime candidate for thinking "Pfft I do not need pet insurance." But shortly after finding my Bengal kitten, and after months of unemployment, when I finally landed a job, I thought "yanno, it's $15/month, what do I have to lose, especially in these early years." I now pay about $21/month after several years with Healthy Paws, but I will never cancel my insurance with them. Little did I know that I would have so many interesting troubles with my furbaby! And furbaby he is to me. We've gone through a leg amputation, several urniary tract problems, and other minor "emergencies" that all forced me to put in a claim with my insurance. Not only are they extremely quick to process my claims, they are so completely empathetic and sympathetic of whatever new situation we happen to be in. And they never fail to send a personal email asking how we're doing once everything is said and done. The level of care I've received from Healthy Paws these last 4+ years has been everything to me to help me take care of my animal and making sure I'm not in some pickle that would force me to either put him down or find a less-than-desirable solution to his issue. Some insurances cover the basic/preventative care and some cover the emergencies. This one is the latter. I'm not sure if there are insurances that do both, but in all my research and re-research over the years, I have not found a better value or company than Healthy Paws. They have my lifetime support for any current and future pets, that's for sure!
