Don't believe the 5 star reviews for this company. They asked me get my dogs a recent examination, which I did...cost me $250. Then I paid $120/nth for insurance and submitted a claim for an $80 ear infection and an allergy shot. They denied the claim stating it was a pre-existing condition. They ignored the $250 exam from months earlier I submitted when I enrolled my dogs...and it means that no future ear infections or allergy will be covered. So in 4 months I'm out of pocket $1,000 plus aggravation. Save your $$ and pay the premium into a separate bank account, you will be way ahead in the long run.
Major injury to neck and back after previous successful back injury.
My awesome Parker is a great dog and my best friend, but has had a rough last two years! He threw out a disc in his back almost two years ago, causing total paralysis in his back legs, which required major surgery to five of his vertebrae/discs. The operation was very successful and Healthy Paws covered almost everything at 80%. That was awesome, since we could not have afforded to bring my best friend back without Healthy Paws. Sadly, after returning almost to his original happy and active self, we were involved in a major truck accident going off into the woods on black ice a month ago, where he was thrown into the back of the seat and lay helplessly paralyzed upside down on the floor. I gently got him out and wrapped him up in survival blankets in the snowy and remote woods (at 18 degrees it was cold!) while we waited for help. The truck was totaled, so some friends gave me a ride to rent a car and I rushed him to the nearest First Pet Animal hospital, and then to the same surgical center he had had his back surgery at. Miraculously, he's once again recovering on medication and physical therapy, and so far without additional surgery on the injured cervical vertebrae. I just deposited the second reimbursement check from Healthy Paws, and they once again covered almost all the costs at the promised 80%. They've been incredibly responsive and financially there for me (and Parker!), and have shown genuine interest in Parker's recovery each time. We couldn't have afforded to help my best friend without them, returning him once again to an active and happy life, and I'm very grateful. Of all the financial decisions I've made in life, Healthy Paws has been one of my best!

Healthy paws has been great!
Healthy paws has been great. I got it for one of my dogs when he was a pup, the other was a little older.. to me its a no brainer. Over 10 years you may spend 5-10k or so on the insurance, but once the dog is older its much more likely to have complications come up that cost way more than that, and at one time also.. my dogs are both older now, 7 and 8, And i have had probably around 10k in vet bills already at this point. Healthy paws reimburses 80-90% of the bill and pretty quickly usually within a week. This gives me confidence that i can do whatever is needed to take care of my pups. Shelling out 20k for extreme surgeries when your pup is older could be impossible and heart breaking, but with healthy paws, knowing i will be reimbursed i am ready to do whatever is necessary to give my pups the best possible care.
Thanks healthy paws!
Makes giving my dogs the best possible care no problem

Insurance is a plus
I was given my dog Bobby, a rescue, in December. Since then Bobby has had several health issues. Bobby required two hospitals visits, and I would not have been able to take him to the hospital without insurance. I had to take a care credit out, but at least. I will receive half of my money- since I had insurance.
