Better than my own health insurance!
I was definitely one of those people who thought pet insurance might not be necessary at first. But with three very curious kittens, the odds were stacked pretty high against me – so I decided to do some research and get my kittens insurance just in case. Healthy Paws seemed to offer the best bang for my buck, so I enrolled my kitties with them, sent in their initial medical records to activate their plans, and kinda forgot about it.
Cut to a few days ago, when, lo and behold, one of my kittens somehow tore the felt ribbon off his Cat Dancer Rainbow Cat Charmer and ingested a good chunk of it. We rushed him to an emergency pet hospital where they did an ultrasound and confirmed that he would need to have surgery. Unfortunately they didn't have a surgeon and he needed to be transferred to a different hospital. In total, the cost of both emergency visits was right around the $6-7k mark. Immediately after our kitty's discharge from the hospital following surgery, I filed claims for both hospital bills. But within three days, both claims were processed and my direct deposits was paid out!!
This has been a thoroughly stressful experience for all of us, but Healthy Paws has helped to alleviate some of that stress. What's more, they reached out after our claims were processed and asked about our cat's health. Really stellar customer service, and I'm so glad we signed up with them. I'll be recommending them to all my pet owner friends!
