Be ready for Healthy Paws to deny

Be ready for Healthy Paws to deny, deny, deny like the movie Erin Brockovich, your claim. If your dog has ever had an allergic reaction or skin irritation in the past they will deny the claim. I submitted a claim when he developed a rash after swimming in the bay. He kept scratching which created infection. It went away after treatment with antibiotics, medicated baths and a cortisone injection. It turned out my wife and I had the same itch and bites after swimming with him.Researching I found its called swimmers itch which is generally caused by nymph jellyfish, crab bacteria and a few others which could be in the water. They denied coverage saying he had been treated for an unrelated skin allergy in the past. Like the movie Erin Brockovitch there response is deny, deny, deny. Find a more reputable company.

Be Aware, They may (DENY), Erin Brockovich your claim

Healthy Paws is not comprehensive nor does it really cover your dog. If your dog has ever had an allergic reaction or skin irritation in the past they will deny the claim. I submitted a claim when he developed a rash after swimming in the bay. He kept scratching which created infection. It went away after treatment with antibiotics, medicated baths and a cortisone injection. It turned out my wife and I had the same itch and bites after swimming in the bay with him. After researching I found its called swimmers itch which is generally caused by nymph jellyfish, crab bacteria and a few others which could be in the water.

John - We're sorry for any frustration during the processing of your claim. Based upon your communications with our team, an appeal was created. Our team had the appeal review case expedited for you. That appeal claim was covered and applied toward the annual deductible. You should receive a separate email with your Explanation of Benefits noting coverage.
