Great experience with Healthy Paws Claims!

I called ahead to tell them of the problem and they told me the claim would be covered. My dog, 8 month old Yorkie had injured her knew jumping(luxating Patella). It required surgery from which she is recovering now. Surgery went very well, and within one week I had a check in hand. I highly recommend Healthy Paws. They really took care of the situation!

Best insurance ever, so friendly!

My 4 month old puppy broker her femur and, thanks to Healthy Paws, we were able to afford the super costly surgery (over 3000$ with all related costs). Without the surgery, she would have never recovered and would not have grown into the super happy and healthy pup she now is! Healthy Paws reimbursed within a few days, from the first x-rays to the follow up exams! We are so thankful for all they did, and the way they did it - always emailing us to inquire about our puppy healing. I wish my human health insurance was as friendly and personalized! I am so happy i subscribed for the insurance right as we adopted our puppy, otherwise i don't know how we could have afford the all thing that happened a month after we got her. Don't procrastinate if you are about to get a coverage for your pet is my new motto!

We love healthy paws

I had gotten pet insurance for my two kittens when we got them two yrs ago. About a yr in found out my tortie comet had stomatitis and needed most of her teeth pulled! It was a hard decision to make but also very pricey. The bill was 1100$ and I got back about 915$ I was elated because that $ was our er fund just incase. Getting pet insurance is the best thing ive done and have recommended many friends to get it as well. Healthy paws cares about animals and they are wonderful!

professional, responsive and caring -- the best

Our dog ate a balloon in September. We submitted our claim and within 2 days, it was processed. In October, we realized our dog was sick and a pair of tights was missing. Sure enough, he had eaten them and needed emergency surgery. I had my personalized claim form (which I can download in a second when I need it)ready for the doctors. Our puppy did great in surgery and our claim was handled quickly -- within a week, we received our check! Healthy Paws was extremely responsive and checked in to see how our dog was doing. What a great company!

Healthy Paws is the real deal!

We decided in August 2012 (after a great deal of research) to go with Healthy Paws pet insurance for our two young mixed breed rescue dogs. Zoe (11 lbs.) is a yorkshire terrier mix and Mara (18 lbs.) is a mix of Chinese Crested and Boglen terrier. They are both very healthy dogs, but we wanted protection and peace of mind against unforseen injury or illness. Unfortunately, Zoe became ill October 17th, with vomiting and diarrhea. We took her to the vet that morning and a blood test revealed she had HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis) and was dehydrated. She had to stay in the hospital for three days, with an IV and supportive treatment. Antibiotics, anti-nausea drugs, the works. She made a full recovery, but the cost of those three days came to $924.40, not something we can afford at one time. We paid the bill and I submitted the claim form, invoices and Zoe's records from the vet via e-mail to Healthy Paws. I e-mailed that info to them at 4:24 PM on 10/30/12 and I received a response that the claim was being processed at 9:56 AM the next morning. Wow! The Explanation of Benefits (EOB) attached to that e-mail was so clear and concise I could see exactly what was covered minus our deductible and what the amount of the check would be that we would receive in the mail. They covered everything exactly as they were supposed to, I wish MY healthcare company had it together enough to provide such a clear EOB. Even the wording of their e-mails were warm and personal, you get the feeling
