Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

For pet lovers who really desire best health coverage for their pets - Healthy Paws is the one! Our golden retriever Mojo has had a Healthy Paws policy for 18 months. Three important take-aways during this time which endear us to Healthy Paws:1. Reasonable, low cost monthly premiums which provide good coverage. We chose a $250 annual deductible with 90% reimbursable and our premium is $34/ month. 2. Reasonable increases to premium upon policy anniversary. Some background - first insurance company (ugh, Trupanion, separate review) which covered Mojo notified us 11 months into policy that premiums would almost triple at first anniversary. Adios Trupanion. Fast forward - eleven months with Healthy Paws we were notified premiums would increase $3 - reasonable. 3. In first year with Healthy Paws, Mojo had lacerated paw with hospitalization expenses of about $1,300. Healthy Paws not only processed reimbursement in 24 hours but followed up with Emails to ensure receipt and Mojo's recovery. Mojo and I highly recommend insuring your pets with Healthy Paws!

Our 4 1/2 month old puppy was viciously attacked by a bullmastiff easily 10 times her size. Her injuries were beyond the wildest imagination -- her skin was peeled off her body from shoulders to hips, almost like when you peel tight socks or stockings off and they turn inside out. The term for this is "degloving." The sheriff's deputy that retrieved "Frankie" did not think she would live. Wonderful neighbors took us to a locally renowned pet hospital that I wouldn't have considered because it was farther away than the local vet clinics, but they assured me that it was worth the time and the extra cost to go there. The doctors spent two or more hours repairing the damage, but three days later, they advised me that a large patch of skin was dying because the attack destroyed the blood supply to the area, and she would require surgery and a greater level of care than they felt capable of providing. We transferred Frankie to a veterinary specialty and emergency center where she underwent several more hours of surgery to remove dead skin and underlying infected fatty tissue. Frankie remained hospitalized for 10 days, as she required daily bandage changes under sedation for three open wounds where there was insufficient skin to close them. When sedation no longer was necessary, we took her home, but had to return every other day for bandage changes until the doctor felt it was possible to suture closed the open wounds. All of this care took a month and an incredible e

Healthy Paws insurance is outstanding! I've had other pet insurance in the past and cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Healthy Paws. I submit my claims via facsimile around 7:30am and, within four hours, receive confirmation that the claim is processed and reimbursement is on the way. It happens every time I submit a claim, yet I still can't believe the prompt response.Their rates are reasonable and coverage is excellent. The customer service this company provides also outshines other companies and vastly exceeds expectations. A few days after my dog's surgery, I received a personal email inquiring about how she is feeling. The personal touch is so unlike a cold, uncaring insurance company. I recommend Healthy Paws to everyone I come in contact with at the various veterinary facilities I've had to visit lately. I could not be happier with Healthy Paws!

My boxer Kage has been nothing less than an athlete his whole life, tip top shape. He turned 11 this year and still was bouncing and full of life. I thought pet insurance would be a good idea in case something happens to him like the large kidney stone he got in October last year. I looked on THIS website for about an hour and came to the conclusion that Healthy Paws had WAY more satisfied customers than all the other insurances that I checked out. In April I got him covered for $60 a month. Everything went well but I noticed that he was walking weird and slower about the middle of June, didn't want to get up anymore in the morning, even when I called him. This got worse VERY quickly, to the point where he was sliding all over the floor and randomly falling over. I took him to the vet and ran many extensive tests and turned out he had a brain tumor. Within days he got so bad to the point where I had to put him down, the tumor was inoperable. This was the most difficult thing I ever had to experience. A few days later I contacted Healthy Paws. They were very sympathetic for my loss. Being this was his first claim they needed all of his previous records, I said he had about 6 vets in the past, Healthy Paws offered to contact all of them and handle the paperwork for me to help me out in this sad time. Next they sent me such a nice card filled with everyone's written sympathies from their office... this was so sweet and unexpected, it was so above and beyond what I expected.

I have nothing but good things to say about Healthy Paws. My claim was processed within hours of them receiving the bills and I had the reimbursement check in my hands within a week. The customer service was outstanding. I received a personalized follow-up e-mail, which I thought was a very nice gesture. When I realized that I did not receive a check for a balance from my primary vet, I e-mailed them to see if they received anything and when I got the response to the e-mail, they had already called and requested what was needed from my vet as well as processed the claim. Great company !!
