Healthy Paws pet insurance is superlative!

Healthy Paws pet insurance is superlative. I have had a policy on both of my dogs as soon as I could get one when they were babies. Fast forward almost three years and Phoenix (large mixed breed) just needed major surgery. If not for Healthy Paws coverage he would have been unable to use his rear legs since the surgery itself cost more than I could afford. At first he had a partial crucial ligament tear in his rear left knee and was scheduled for surgery, but as he used his other rear right leg to support half of his body weight leading up to the surgery, he completely tore his rear right knee two days before the scheduled surgery on his rear left knee. As a result, the surgeon suggested it was best to operate on that completely torn rear right knee first. The TPLO surgery so far was a success and once this rear right knee has healed he will need another TPLO surgery for the rear left knee that was originally the only knee to need surgery. Within a week, I was reimbursed from Healthy Paws the 80% elected coverage from the surgery with ease. I cannot express how important it is to have a policy with Healthy Paws because like all insurance, you hope to never need to use it, but it is worth it when you need it. With the cost savings by Healthy Paws of this single surgical procedure thus far, my policy has paid for itself and will continue to do so. Thank you Healthy Paws for the benefits with the policy coverage. Hands down, I highly recommend your coverage to all pet owners.

So Glad I Got Pet Insurance

Healthy Paws insurance was a lifesaver when my pup ruptured her CCL Christmas Eve and needed surgery a week later. There was a bit of a hiccup getting the various computer systems at HP to accept and combine health records, which resulted in delay in processing the bill for the emergency room visit. However, once this was cleared up, the bill for the actual surgery was processed and money auto deposited within 48hours of submitting the claim. One other thing (clearly spelled out in the policy, but good to remember) is that this plan covers “treatment” (X-rays, surgery, medicine) but not fees for office visits or consultations. Explanation of benefits was very clear and customer service employees were very helpful. I took the dog to Spry Companions in Centennial CO, where both doctors have over 10 years experience with CCL surgery and it was a great experience.

50% increase in monthly premium from prior year!

I have been a very satisfied customer of Healthy Paws Pet Insurance for 3 years until I received an email yesterday notifying me that my monthly premiums will be increasing by 50% !! beginning in 63 days. My claims have been low for my 8 yr old dog with manageable annual premium increases of around 10% each year. I understand pet medical care costs are rising but there is no explanation to justify such a large increase. I have made comparisons with other pet coverage companies and will be saving that 50%.

Brownie's been my bBrownie's Journey: Why Healthy Paws Became My Rockest friend for…

Brownie's been my best friend for almost nine years. We've shared countless tail wags, muddy paw prints, and a whole lot of love. I always knew I needed the best insurance to protect her health, so I picked Healthy Paws – and let me tell you, it's been the smartest decision ever. For eight years, things were easy. Brownie was as healthy as a pup can be, just needing routine checkups and shots. Healthy Paws was there in the background, like a silent superhero ready to leap if trouble ever showed up. But nine months ago, everything changed. Brownie got hit with bone cancer. My heart broke, but I knew we had to fight. That's when Healthy Paws became more than just an insurance company – they became our partners in this battle. Filing the first claim was a breeze. No endless paperwork, no hoops to jump through, just quick and understanding support. Every single claim – all $30,000+ for radiation, chemo, surgery, even her heartbreaking amputation – was approved and in my bank account within 10 days! It was like a financial superhero delivering a truckload of cash, letting me focus on what mattered most – getting Brownie better. But it wasn't just about the money. The Healthy Paws team was amazing. They called to check on Brownie, offered words of encouragement, and treated her like their own furry family. Their compassion was a lifesaver during those dark days. Recently, Brownie's had another setback – congestive heart failure, likely from the chemo. And guess what? Healthy Paws is right there again, ready to fight alongside us. My experience with Healthy Paws has been incredible. They've gone above and beyond, making them way better than any other insurance company I've ever dealt with, for pets or people. They're not just a policy, they're a promise of support, a safety net when the world throws you a curveball. If you have a furry friend you adore, don't think twice. Get Healthy Paws Pet Insurance. It's not just insurance, it's peace of mind. It's knowing that no matter what life throws your pup's way, they won't face it alone. Thank you, Healthy Paws, for being Brownie's miracle. You gave me the strength to fight, the hope to keep believing, and the unwavering support to never give up. You're not just an insurance company, you're heroes with furry-friend hearts. A forever Healthy Paws customer and Brownie's biggest cheerleader.
