Stellar Experience with Healthy Paws

My experience with Healthy Paws has been phenomenal! When I first got my dog there was the question of whether to get pet insurance, or whether to hope for the best - my dog is young and healthy. After many hours of reading reviews on several pet insurance providers, I decided to purchase a policy from Healthy Paws. They had a good range of plans, and I was able to find the one that worked for me very easily. My dog has been an absolute joy, but things got scary a month ago, and he needed emergency care and some very expensive tests. Every person that I have called at Healthy Paws has been so attentive, efficient in helping me, and so very caring. This made such a huge difference when I was upset about my dog's health. My claims were so easy to file, and they were all handled VERY promptly. My dog is on the mend, and improving daily. I am so glad that I got a policy with Healthy Paws, everybody there was so wonderful to deal with - the customer service has been stellar!!

Best Company

My German Shepherd Nero had 2 torn ACLs within a year, about $3000 each. Healthy Paws covered 90% of the cost (per my policy). Quick return, quick handling of the claim. I have used them for my female German Shepherd Ally (over the rainbow bridge now), including her final bill (sad), which was over $4000. I was with another Insurance company a few years ago, they (and pretty much all others) have a limited amount they will cover, which is not very reassuring when your bill goes into the many thousands. Both my current shepherds are insured with Healthy Paws and I recommend them to everyone with a dog.

Wonderful insurance company!

After looking at all the reviews, when deciding for insurance for our puppy we decided on Healthy Paws. Now, 4 years later, we are so glad we did. Our Lakeland Terrier had had NO health issues until 3 months ago when he was found to have some sort of liver disease. He has required numerous labs, vet visits, work-ups, and now most recently surgery. Throughout this difficult time, we have been so impressed with Healthy Paws responsiveness and ease for submitting claims. They have been fantastic and we are so grateful.

EXCELLENT COMPANY

When my three year old Dog Maxx was diagnosed as having fluid around his lungs and the severity of his situationand that he needed Specialized Tests and Treatment I called Healthy Paws to find out if I needed any kind of approvals or pre-determination documents. The Customer Service Rep told me no. Just take him in and whatever it takes to get Maxx Healthy again would be covered. It was easier than dealing with my own health insurance company. I can't tell you how happy I am that I had coverage through Healthy Paws They are the Best! Walter Major

always dependable, peace of mind

I had some cases when my pup got sick and the vet asked if we wanted to follow certain course of treatment and for a moment I wondered, what is the other option, let her suffer, or worse? And then I realize, some treatments are so expensive it is a valid question from the vet. I, like most pet owners, would do anything for my pet, but that comes with a price, well Healthy Paws has always been there, and the reimbursement checks come back quickly and without questions! I mentioned this to other dog owners in the park and I'm glad some of them took notice, so far three of Bella's friends (Spot, Saxon and Coco) had similar experiences with Healthy Paws, the best!
