Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I wanted to share the great success that we have had with our HEALTHY PAWS PET INSURANCE for our nearly 3 yr-old Great Dane Tank our 10 month-old Basset Hound, Chubbers. Although Tank is not quite 3 yrs-old, he has had two neuro-surgeries, a broken tail which resulted in an infection and eventual amputation, the removal of his anal glands (due to a likely related infection) and various other more minor problems. Although he is very healthy today, these surgeries have cost in excess of $35,000. Our little Chubbers (who likes to eat things and get obstructed) has had two surgeries and other expenses exceeding $12,000. For all of these problems we have paid a total of 10%. The insurance has been INCREDIBLE. We pay a monthly rate that is based on zip code and breed (we are in a very expensive area and Danes are obviously one of the most expensive breeds) of about $100 month (by comparison our basset hound is about $50 a month) and then we pay a $250 per year deductible. Once that deductible is reached, Healthy Paws pays 90% of any costs. The only things they don't cover are the veterinary examinations, elective surgeries like spay and neutering or stomach tacking (unless medically necessary-for instance if they have bloated before) and hips until the dogs are 18 months of age. Unlike many other pet insurance companies, there are no breed excluded conditions, no lifetime caps on the policy and you pick the veterinarian where your dog is treated. The surgeries on Tank and Chubbers have been incredibly expensive and Healthy Paws has never challenged one penny of any bill. My wife, who is a reconstructive pediatric plastic surgeon, has commented that the insurance companies she has to work with in human medical care are not this easy to deal with, nor this prompt with payment. The claims have always been paid within a week of filing. The only issue is that you need to be aware of is that they will not cover preexisting conditions, so you should get the policy as soon as you bring your puppy home. I am writing this review because this insurance has been such an incredible benefit for our family. I have no affiliation with the company, I do not own any stock, I am just a customer who has been incredibly impressed with this company. This insurance is a great idea for any pet owner and a MUST for any Dane owner.

Healthy Paws is amazing! From answering all my questions and making the claim process effortless to even checking in on my pup after his surgery they have been kind and helpful. It doesn't even feel like an insurance company. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner!

Our dog Ruby had an operation for an intestinal blockage. After getting the bill for nearly $4,000, I went on line uploaded the bill and medical record. I received approval, no questions asked, within a couple of days. Check followed within a few weeks. More than satisfied with their service.

I have been a healthy paws policy holder for the last 5 yrs and have 4 dogs insured with them one of our dogs ( Bug ) tore her knee up playing and requireEd surgery to the tune of over $5000 healthy paws recievepd her bill and with in 3 days a check was in the mail no fuss at all. This the second major bill they have saved me from in the years I have used them ! They are just the best around !!! Thank you healthy paws

We just recently had to file our first claim with Healthy Paws and it was easier than I could have imagined. Once the claims paperwork was submitted it was only a matter of days before I started receiving emails that the claims were being processed. I had to call on two different occasions with questions and my questions were answered in a very professional manner. The claims department made sure that I understood their process and that all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Healthy Paws provides great coverage and wonderful service. They even sent a follow-up email to make sure our Boudreaux was doing well post-claim. We are very satisfied customers! Thanks Healthy Paws!
