Best Pet Insurance I have experienced!

Healthy Paws has done an outstanding job processing claims faster than any other insurance company I have ever used. They keep you updated every step of the way and your reimbursement is deposited in your account within a week. My dog suddenly needed to have a major surgery which happened on Tuesday and was quite expensive. The claim was processed immediately and I received the payment that Friday . My experience with Healthy Paws has been amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone considering pet insurance. They have surpassed my expectations. It’s hard to find a company that can compete with this quality of service.

They take great care of my dog at Animal Health. And Healthy Paws always covers what they say they’ll cover. It’s hassle free and helps reduce some of the anxiety when your pet is sick.

No run-around, quick payouts, and little red tape

I was prompted to review Healthy Paws after my dog was treated in October of 2025, but I wanted to share my thoughts on Healthy Paws for all three dogs I've used it with. * It is very easy to submit bills by taking a photo on your phone and uploading it to the site. Most of the time, no follow-up or additional materials are required. When my old dog had emergency bloat surgery, I was afraid it wouldn't be covered. It was, and the subsequent issues were also covered. It made a very difficult time a little easier. * The payout method has improved. It used to take a few weeks, but now it appears to be about a week to receive reimbursement. * I really appreciate how easy the process is to submit a claim. Most of the time, there is no need to do anything else except wait for the reimbursement. * Healthy Paws is the only insurance company I've used for dogs so I don't have anything to compare it to, however I've maintained policies for three dogs since 2017 and continue to recommend it to other dog owners. I've had to make very tough decisions in the past and this takes the pain out of bringing your dog to the vet with an emergency situation.

Grateful to Healthy Paws

Healthy Paws has been a true blessing! I've never had pet insurance and decided to give Healthy Paws a try six years ago when I adopted my kitties, Salsa and Queso. Salsa wound up needing knee surgery in August and I wasn't sure if the surgery would be covered by her insurance. The claim was processed quickly and the funds (80%) were deposited within a few days. It's so easy to file a claim and the claims are processed so quickly! I'm beyond grateful to Healthy Paws!
