Healthy Paws has been a lifesaver…

Healthy Paws has been a lifesaver (literally) for our sweet little pug, Rosie. We got her as a puppy and thankfully we chose healthy paws as our pet insurance. Within her first year she had a major seizure and was diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis. She has an excellent neurologist who has been able to keep her seizures under control with lots of medications but it is VERY expensive. We call Rosie our million dollar pug — she almost 3 years old and still living a happy, nearly seizure-free life thanks to Healthy Paws. I recommend them to everyone I know! Their customer service is excellent and it’s so easy to submit claims and get reimbursed. I wish my own health insurance was this good!

Can we humans be insured by Healthy Paws?

We don’t typically write a lot of reviews, but in this case it is a must! When it comes to pet insurances, we are seriously in good hands with Healthy Paws. Our story began last year when we adopted a puppy; our little Humphrey came from a very good breeder with a good family health history; did it matter?...not in this case and like people, things can go wrong sometimes health wise even at a young age. He was diagnosed with something similar to Crohn’s Disease (in humans) but in order to find this out, we ended up having to go through a process of elimination of a series of very expensive tests; from x-rays, to an ultrasound, to an endoscopic procedure with biopsies. Healthy Paws was with us every step of the way, starting with the hassle free and ease of submitting claims, no questions asked and no bad surprises; “what we were insured for, is what we got”. Each time, the claims were reviewed quickly; and the reimbursements received promptly. Their website is also very user friendly and the information provided very clear; their live Customer Service Agents, all excellent. Finally, I would like to add, that, as if this is not satisfactory enough, after each procedure that was done on Humphrey, Healthy Paws would follow up to see if he was feeling better...asking us to take care of him and not to worry about the rest! ...come on!... does your doctor’s office or health insurance company do that? It is as simple as that: if Healthy Paws could insure us, humans, we would switch instantly! Marie-Christine & David

Outstanding coverage, customer service and claims processing

What outstanding service. My cat, Julius, has had skin problems since he chose me, several years ago. After exhausting all options, at his primary vet, I finally got him in front of a cat dermatologist. A week later his lab test results came in, and we have identified what ails him. He will soon be starting, what will likely be, a life-long regimen of allergy medicine that should help alleviate his symptoms. I can tell you that Healthy Paws has been fantastic throughout this journey. Having pet insurance has really helped. When the specialist vet tells you the cost, to figure it all out, is over one thousand dollars... knowing I had coverage was such a relief. I find it much easier to move forward with what will best help Julius, rather than being hyper-focused on the bottom line of cost. The claims process is extremely smooth. I scan my receipts and vet notes, for each appointment - and within a day or two my claim is completed and paid. Phenomenal. And for that I say THANK YOU. They allow me to focus on my cat's health.
