Get insurance for peace of mind!
My husband and I got Healthy Paws Pet Insurance for our dog, Billie, when she was young and healthy. We wondered if it would just be a waste of money, and fretted a bit about another monthly payment, but decided that we never wanted to be in a position where money had to factor into a decision regarding Billie's health care. We are so grateful we made this decision.
Just last month Billie had to have surgery to correct a congenital issue. The surgery was recommended to ease her comfort and ensure that the recurring infection she was having didn't become antibiotic resistant (we had already gone through 3 rounds of high powered antibiotics to clear it). It was estimated to cost between $2,800-3,800. The full amount would have really affected our finances. And given it was not for a life-threatening situation, it would have been a much more difficult decision to make without insurance. However, since we had the security of our Healthy Paws Insurance, and knew that we'd only pay 20% out-of-pocket, it was an easy decision to make.
Billie's surgery went well and she is now all healed up and doing great. We will continue paying our monthly fee gladly. At this point, we have received more money back from Healthy Paws than we have paid in monthly payments. And this is for an otherwise completely healthy dog!
I use the Healthy Paws phone app to track my account and claims. Turning in receipts is as easy as taking a photo on my phone and hitting send. Sometimes our vet sends them from the office for us. The reimbursement checks are mailed promptly. And after Billie's surgery, we received a personal email asking how she was doing and wishing us all well. I thought that was a nice touch.
I strongly recommend Healthy Paws Pet Insurance for peace of mind and lifelong care of our furry family members!
