Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Healthy paws has been amazing since we got our first dog in 2016. We now have two dogs and have been through multiple incidents including TPLO surgery, hematoma surgery, heart-worm, & Distichiasis (eye surgery). I can’t recommend them enough. Super easy auto pay every month & easily upload your vet invoices on the app to put claims in. As long as I have pets I will forever be a healthy paws client!!

I decided to get pet insurance when my dog Banksy was a puppy because I wasn't sure I'd be able to afford it if anything happened to him. As I got older and more financially stable, I figured I wouldn't need pet insurance for any future pets. But then my awesome Rhodesian Ridgeback, Banksy, got a freak bacterial infection of the liver at the age of 8, just a few weeks ago. It was very sudden and he got sick fast and we took him to the emergency vet, where he ended up staying for 3 days. His health was declining rapidly and the vet said that a biopsy of the liver would be the best course of action to try to identify what was wrong with him and give him the correct treatment. As she was rattling off the options and costs, she said the surgery (best option) would be $12,000-$15,000. In that moment my heart sank because it was so much money and we probably wouldn't make that choice. But then I remembered I had pet insurance and it was a huge relief. We went forward with the surgery, but sadly the infection had gone too far and wasn't treatable. We had to say goodbye to our Banksy dog very suddenly. One of the only things that gave me comfort during such a sad time was knowing that we did everything we could for him. If we didn't have insurance, we wouldn't have been able to give him all of the options and I would have always been wondering if we could have done more. His total bill was $16,000 and Healthy Paws covered 80%. It was super easy to file the claim, and the check was in the mail within a week. I will always have Healthy Paws insurance from now on, in hopes that I will never need to use it. And if I'm lucky enough to not use it, I will be happy knowing that my monthly payment might go towards covering another pet and giving their owner peace of mind that they too could do everything possible for their fur baby.

About a year ago our cat started having serious health issues. He's only 8 but has had to go for several ultrasounds, emergency room visits for illness and requires monthly meds. After we paid his $100 deductible HP covered 90% all expenses minus office visit. He's treatment and monthly meds have had to cost over 8K out of pocket in the last year. With out the HP plan would have had to make tough decisions on how often we could take him to the vet. He is still with us and doing well!

I am so impressed w/Healthy Paws. It was recommended by a friend who has worked w/rescue organizations. I could not be happier with my choice of Healthy Paws. From ease of claim filing to promptness of payment, they are unmatched. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Healthy Paws!

Thanks to Healthy Paws for helping me with the insurance claims after my dog, Rose, got dangerously ill with a sudden allergic reaction and GI issue. Rose’s medical care was excellent, but very expensive. This was a very stressful time, and the financial side of things was an added stressor. I had to submit all the medical records with the insurance claims, but it was worth it. Getting reimbursed for a big chunk of the expense through Healthy Paws really saved me! I am so glad to have this insurance!
