Best decision ever!

After much research I chose to get Healthy Paws Pet Insurance when my four year old Boston Terrier, Duke was about 10 weeks old and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Thankfully, Duke is not a sickly dog or has ever been badly injured but he has had his share of ear infections and other minor issues and every single time that I have taken him to the vet for treatment, Healthy Paws has responded to every claim with status emails from the moment they receive the claim until they mail the check, which is no more than 3-4 days after receipt of the claim, assuming they have the information they need. I have never had to question the amounts of their checks because they always come through with the exact coverage that I purchased. This last time that Duke went in for treatment was probably the most costly visit so far and Healthy Paws processed the claim quickly and efficiently and later followed up to check on how Duke is feeling. I honestly am extremely happy with Healthy Paws and I often recommend them to all of my friends and family with pets. Best pet insurance!!!

Healthy Paws had our back when we needed it most!

I have had a Healthy Paws policy for both of my cats, Diva and Dweezil, since May 2014. Recently, Diva started coughing chronically and, one day, started to breathe through her mouth. Anyone who's owned by a cat knows that this is a serious emergency. An oxygen chamber, four IVs, two steroids, and one very stressful night later, Diva was out of the ICU and back home with me (and several bottles of medication). She is on the mend now, but as anyone who loves a cat will understand, this has been a harrowing, stressful, awful experience emotionally. On top of that, the veterinary bills, prescription costs, and emergency room visit would have been a horrible burden. But Healthy Paws greatly alleviated that stress: they processed most of my claims practically within hours of submission, kept me well-informed of the status of each, and promptly sent me reimbursement checks once I had met my deductible. They even sent me kind emails checking up on Diva's health. I feel like she and I both received the highest level of individualized attention. To me, it shows that the people at Healthy Paws truly care about cats and dogs and genuinely want to make their lives better. In Diva's case, they have certainly succeeded.

Woof ruff bow wow howl bay (best animal insurance)

I was a bad boy and gotten into my mommy's purse, by opening it up looking for something yummy to snack on...Instead, I found her Ventolin Inhaler and thought it was some weird treat..When I bit into it, it went off in my face and next thing I knew, my heart was beating really really fast. So fast It scared my mommy enough to call the Vet's office at 10pm. She rushed me in and I had to stay the night for 2 days without her. Turns out my heartbeat was at 220 bpm and I couldn't go home till it was 100 bpm. Thanks to Healthy Paws Insurance, they were able to help my mommy out after I was home with the Vet's bill. Now I am doing great, running around, playing with Coconuts and staying away from her purse. Woof Woof Ruff Ruff Healthy Paws Mommy here....It was very scary that my baby of little over 4 yrs Bloodhound/Black Lab names Stitch had this happen. Even worse that, that my Ventolin Inhaler could do that to him. For a 115 lb puppy, it was scary to feel his heartbeat feel like about to jump out of his chest. I am glad that the Vet's and Heathy Paws were and are here to help me. My insurance with them is 90% and $100...that was my choice...They even checked up on Stitch to see if he's ok that week from coming home and a week later to just make sure. Thanks again Healthy Paws
