Healthy Paws is outstanding

We have Healthy Paws for our Basset Hound Charley. The premium is very reasonable and claims are processed promptly. Charley became ill with pancreatitis last week, and he saw his vet on Thursday and Friday. Both claims were processed by Friday afternoon, and the reimbursement is great. They sent an email this morning asking how he is doing. Happy to say he went for his final checkup this morning & all is well. We recommend Healthy Paws whenever we can. Our vet is totally impressed with our coverage. Thank you for your genuine concern and caring for our furry loved ones!

Best pet insurance company - period.

I did a lot of research before deciding to go with Healthy Paws - coverage, benefits, deductible, etc. I'd had a very negative experience with another pet insurance company in the past, so I was skeptical to say the least, but Healthy Paws has changed my mind - they have been nothing but wonderful! We adopted our dog as a 5-month-old puppy back in May, and unfortunately, she's had a string of procedures and hospitalizations in the months since. Healthy Paws has paid our claims in a timely manner, the coverage has been exactly as stated on their site (no surprises), and they've been incredibly nice about it as well. I'd recommend Healthy Paws (and do) to anyone.

best pet insurance. Fast service

My 3 year old Maltese-Poodle mix was attacked by 2 boxers while I was taking her for a walk. A portion of her intestine was sticking out from the wound she sustained. She had emergency surgery and stayed in the hospital for 2 days. I was surprised at how fast HealtyPaws responded to my claim. I received a reply from them 4 hours after I submitted my claim.It is also reassuring to know that they will pay 90 percent of the total bill. Getting Healthy Paws insurance for my dog was the smartest thing I've done.

Best Pet Insurance I've Had

I dropped the pet insurance I had with another popular plan, and signed with Healthy Paws in February, 2013. In September, 2013, we discovered Zeus (my loving rescued pit-mix) had highly abnormal liver enzymes. Zeus was referred to an internal medicine specialist at the Veterinary Specialty Animal Hospital where he underwent a slew of diagnostic tests, including ultrasound and laparoscopic liver biopsy. We are still looking for a definitive diagnosis. Specialty animal vets are very expensive, and vet costs to date are just shy of $3,000. Healthy Paws has come through like I never expected. There were no hassles, and claims have been paid quickly and as promised. I feel a little guilty having filed claims so soon after Zeus' policy became effective, but as I said, there were absolutely no questions or hold-ups. Customer Service is wonderful to work with. Healthy Paws has exceeded all my expectations, and I am so glad I made the change! I highly recommend!

Healthy Paws is a no-brainer

Healthy Paws is the best insurance available. I cannot stop bragging about how smart I am to have hooked up with them a couple of years ago. In addition to courteous, swift service, they offer the kind of coverage you need: comprehensive. It's also totally affordable and proves itself well worth the investment again and again. I have a young dog who was diagnosed this year with what my vet called "the worst hip dysplasia" she'd ever seen. He had to have his whole hip replaced-- the dysplasia was so bad you could feel the head of his femur through his skin, and it had worn away part of the edge of his hip socket. Most insurance companies don't cover hip dysplasia. It's too expensive, and I'm sure its very prevalent. I will never stop thanking my lucky stars that Buddy was covered with Healthy Paws. I tell everyone with a pet to get insured with Healthy Paws ASAP. My vet is now singing their praises, too. With Healthy Paws, I know I'll never end up in a situation where I have to choose between the health of my best friend and years of debt.
