My 5 year old service dog was diagnosed…

My 5 year old service dog was diagnosed with horrible terminal Canine Lymphoma. It was an expensive path just to get conclusive diagnosis and shocking to say the least, Health Paws has been my partner in offering us the highest possible care so we may gain a few more months of adventures with quality of life and holding off rapid disease progression. I feel so sad seeing so many people in the Oncology clinic who have to leave with very few options because of financial constraints. Horrible position to be in. Or to limit care because of a CAP. Without Healthy Paws I would not be able to offer this treatment which my girl deserves having been a Visiting Therapy Dog while earning her service dog degree. I file claims on Thursday and by Monday my reimbursement is in my bank. God Bless the lady in the dog park years ago who enlightened us all to Healthy Paws when her dog fell ill. This situation is horribly stressful- thank you Health Paws for not running me through unnecessary paces and gate keepers during a tragic time. I tell everybody this truth.

OUTSTANDING

Over three days at two separate critical care veterinary offices our dog required over $10,000 of tests and care after collapsing for no apparent reason. Fortunately, our sweet girl made it through the ordeal and is on the road to recovery. The emotional roller coaster was made so much easier knowing we had Healthy Paws insurance and could say “just do whatever is necessary” at every decision point. Within one business day after bringing our sweet girl home the 80% reimbursement was deposited in our checking account and a representative from Healthy Paws had reached out to see how she was doing. Outstanding!

Definitely Recommend HealthyPaws Pet Insurance

We definitely recommend HealthyPaws Pet Insurance. We used it for years with our Lab who eventually got cancer. HealthyPaws paid for all his surgeries and treatments at 80%, no questions asked. This plan does not include wellness coverage, but that's exactly what we wanted. After many emergencies/surgeries with our dogs, we realized insurance for emergencies and sickness was the way to go. We'll pay for wellness care, but HealthyPaws is there for the emergencies. We just had one! Our new 5-month old puppy ate a sock and needed emergency surgery. HealthyPaws covered everything (except exam) at 80% and the funds were deposited in my checking account the next day.
