Easier and friendlier than human insurance

Healthy Paws has been the easiest, friendliest, most caring insurance company I have ever worked with. Hands down. My dog Lenny was hit by a car after he got out from under a gate. His back leg was slashed open to his bone. Sorry for the details, but you can get the picture on how deep it was. The Vet said that he would have a better chance of a full recovery with no issues if we use this thing called the wound VAC. I called Healthy Paws to see if they cover it and they said they would get back to me ASAP. The next day I called, and they told me that they will cover and I should start the procedure. Flash foward 3 weeks.. Lenny is at 85% ( still has issues with managing his weigh on the weak leg)and is pretty much back to his old self. With out Healthy Paws covering it, he would still have a bandage that would need to be changed everyday, and not even close to recovered. So seriously, thank you!! Everyone I spoke to was so helpful and nice, I really appreciate it.

Excellent Insurance, easy claims, caring staff

My male cat started getting UTI's in March of 2014. He kept getting them back before his meds were out. Finally he got a blockage, which we caught in time and then we were told he needed a significant operation (peri urethrosteotomy). Because this was such a serious surgery I opted to get a 2nd opinion in a Boston Hospital. Because I had insurance, I was able to get the best care for my cat and myself. Thank you Healthy Paws for the "peace of mind". Bleu is much better now and we will never have to worry again!

So Thankful for Healthy Paws

Healthy Paws once again saved us financially and allowed us to get the best treatment for our puppy. Lexie had a horrible case of hemmorhagic gastroenteritis and IBD. She had to be hospitalized for several days as well under go testing and exploratory surgery. The bill was close to $6k and hp sent our check for almost $5200 in less than a week. I was so thankful to be able to do what needed to be done to save my dogs life and get to the bottom of what was going on without having to go into serious debt. You hope you never have to use the insurance, but if something serious happens to your dog it is a life saver. I have used other pet insurance companies with some other dogs over the years but I decided to go with healthy paws when we got the puppy because of all the good reviews. I am so thankful I did. Healthy paws is so much better than their competition. They have no limits to payouts and the claims/reimbursement process is so simple and fast. They process your claim in usually 24 hours and you get the check within a week. Absolutely no hassles. I've actually had to appeal claims with the other pet insurance when they tried to get out of paying using their loopholes. There are no loop holes with healthy paws. You pick your deductible and payout percentage. Once your annual deductible is met they pay the percentage agreed upon minus the office visit, special food, and routine care costs (ex. Vacines). All testing, treatments, medications etc...are

Coverage

I have a 9 yr old Shitzu and she had a ptoblem stanting up. I took her to the vet hosspital and they xrayed her back legs and done some othet tests released her.Todat she is fine. I turned in the bill to Healthy Paws and now they wand a copy of an examin that she had done 3yes ago. I told them I do not live in the area and do not remembe the facility. They said that if I do not get the copy of the exam They will not pay for this bill. Alss thet do not cover the office visit even in the hospital. I cancelled my policy. They are nothing but a Rip Off.

Fast, Great Service

My dog had to go to the emergency for severe diarrhea with blood and major dehydration (as we found out). He had to stay overnight and after the whole ordeal his bill came out to over $1400. Just for diarrhea!! Healthy Paws paid me over $1100 of that back (they took off the $100 deductible, examination fee, and they took take of 90% of the rest of the bill). I was calm during the whole incident because I new I was covered by Healthy Paws. I would never have another pet with out insurance. I had to pay over $3,000 (before insurance) for pneumonia when I first got my pet and never again!
