Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

We have had Healthy Paws for years and submitting claims has always been incredibly straightforward, with hassle-free reimbursement. We did a lot of research to find the right insurance company to protect our fluffy dogs, and are really pleased with our choice. The random illness here or cracked tooth here was covered and the peace of mind was what we were mainly paying for until recently, when our dog had a double ACL tear. We would have really struggled to make the call for what surgery to get, what doctor to go to, etc. but it was so easy to say yes to our vet's recommendations and get him the proper care because we knew we were covered with Healthy Paws. They gave us no issues at all when we submitted the two claims (one for each leg), 10 days apart, and the payment was in my checking account within days. Not only that, but they followed up with us by email to check in on how he was healing. I have recommended Healthy Paws to 10+ family and friends now and cannot recommend them enough.

HealthyPaws has been nothing short of amazing for our dog Teddy. This was our first pet we had insured and it was mainly only done due to hip dysplasia worries. We enrolled him as soon as we got him in 2015. Teddy is an Akita/German Shepherd mix and past experiences with dogs that big have always had arthritis and hip issues down the road. So we enrolled him in 2015 on the 90% coverage, $100 annual deductible plan. It has been a literal lifesaver for him and our family and likely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I tried Figo Pet Insurance with 2 of my other dogs and they have been nothing but headaches and drama dealing with 1 of my dogs who sadly passed due to osteosarcoma spreading to his spine. They take weeks and weeks to look at your claims and in his case it was usually almost always denied or with a problem. Sometimes they would cover bloodwork, sometimes they didn't. It was crazy, a nightmare to deal with and I highly recommend everyone avoid Figo at all costs. HealthyPaws has never had that sort of problem. They have covered little things like UTIs, monthly glucosamine shots and antibiotic meds. But they also have covered MAJOR life-threatening things without any issues for Teddy. Teddy had a mast cell tumor removed from his chest in fall of 2017 after adopting him. Every penny of that bill which was over $3,000 was covered with no issues at all. In fact, only ONE time in roughly 100 claims have I ever had a issue and all it took was a simple phone call for that to be resolved. The turnaround times are very reasonable and fast, never takes more than a week or two tops. In June 2022, Teddy started having severe neurological signs and a brain tumor was suspected. To make a very long story short, he ended up having to have stereotactic radiation and chemo. This is certainly not cheap, his bill was roughly $15,000. HealthyPaws paid EVERY single penny of it except the usual things they do not cover (exam fees etc). I was reimbursed for 90% of that entire bill. They even emailed me to check and see how he was doing. They just spent over 13k on Teddy and still care enough about him to see how he was doing. HealthyPaws is amazing and I won't even consider another pet insurance company moving forward. He gets his bloodwork checked almost every week now, monthly chemo meds and other meds. All of this is covered without issue and pet owners know how expensive weekly blood tests can be. HealthyPaws is AMAZING, I cannot stress this enough. I have already recruited a friend to enroll their new puppy with them and I hope this review can help others make the proper choice here also. Teddy is thus far doing as well and roughly 90% of his former self. Our family and Teddy owes this all to the wonderful care he got from the doctors but also HealthyPaws. I will never use another pet insurance provider, HealthyPaws care of Teddy has made me a fan for life.

I left a glowing review in September because I had been a happy customer for 4 years. They covered two major surgeries without any hassles and the reimbursement process was surprisingly easy. It seems they have made changes to the reimbursement process and my last two claims have been held up by the need for more records, even though I am only submitting receipts for medications used to treat a known covered condition. It used to be a seamless process but this is no longer the case and I have to amend my review as a result
