Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

We signed up our dogs with Healthy Paws when they were puppies. One is now 8 1/2 years old and the other is almost 7 1/2 years old. We've had a few big veterinary expenses through the years--all mostly covered by Healthy Paws. Our rates have steadily increased over time and we came close to dropping the insurance late last year when my partner became unemployed. I am so glad we didn't! I took our younger dog to the ER on New Year's Eve, where he ended up (after lots of diagnostic imaging and lab tests) having a splenectomy. As you can imagine, the bill was huge. Since then, our dog has needed various follow-up exams and lab tests. All in all, we have racked up well over $10,000 in vet bills. Every claim I've submitted has been processed promptly, and Healthy Paws even reached out to see how our dog was doing. If we had not had the insurance, we would have a major credit card debt burden after all this. It's like any insurance--it seems like a waste of money until you need it. Now it's been a lifesaver for us. Also, if you've ever been in the position of having to say no to life saving/critical care for a beloved pet because you couldn't afford it, Healthy Paws can make that care possible. The only downside is that you do have to pay the charges up front and subsequently get reimbursed. I think most pet insurance companies work that way. There is a process available for getting advance approval for them to pay the veterinarian directly, but that doesn't help in an emergency or if the vet isn't willing to do that. Long story short, I highly recommend Healthy Paws!

Healthy Paws is an excellent insurance for your pet! They have resolved all my dog’s health claims in a timely manner. My dog, Max, recently became very ill with pneumonia and the bills exceeded $15,000 and Healthy Paws paid the claims promptly and completely. Their customer service is excellent and all the representatives are very professional and knowledgeable. I recommend Healthy Paws 100%!

I have had several claims with Healthy Paws, and they responded to each claim very promptly. Once the claim was approved, I received my check within days. I am so thankful for Healthy Paws because it has allowed me to give my pet the best care possible. I am so thankful for the love and care that they give to pets that need medical treatment. I highly recommend Healthy Paws.

When we adopted our sweet pup Layla two years ago, we never would have predicted that we would use it so much! Heartworm treatment, an ultrasound for a heart murmur, and an emergency surgery to remove a swallowed toy were all covered by our policy. Uploading the receipts and submitting the claims was a streamlined process, and their website is very user-friendly. In the midst of stressful situations with our pup, we were SO relieved knowing we had Healthy Paws. We could focus on Layla and not on the financial aspects of her treatment. We signed up for Healthy Paws on the recommendation of friends who had a good experience with it, and now we encourage every pet parent we know to get Healthy Paws as well! Thanks!
