Very happy with Healthy Paws!

I got Healthy Paws for my puppy the day after I brought him home. The day after the waiting period was over, he got bloat at 3 months old (highly unusual). I definitely did not expect him to get bloat at such a young age (or have any health issues) and had considered waiting to put him on the insurance. Once I got the 6000+ vet bill I was over the moon I had gotten it. My plan was for 80% coverage (different options for this), so I had to pay my $250 deductible, the vet consultation (not covered but this usually is never a lot, $144 out of my $6000 bill), and 20% of the total bill. Very fair in my opinion. It took a few weeks for me to be reimbursed (I’ve heard it’s usually faster but I think with Covid-19 it might have taken some more time). Everyone was so nice, helpful and knew exactly what was going on each time I called. They received and reviewed my documents in a timely manner. I initially chose healthy paws because they cover all congenital and hereditary conditions (some insurances have limitations or charge more for that) and are affordable. I figured this was most important because you never know what might happen that would be deemed hereditary and could require a big surgery and then not be covered. I was hesitant to even get pet insurance because I know a lot of times you end up not needing it. I’ve read a lot of opinions saying you could just as easily set aside the monthly payment in savings and you’ll still have the money if you don’t need it. Accidents/surgeries can easily cost over $10k. In my case, I pay about $50 a month. It would take me ten YEARS to have saved up $6000 for my puppies surgery if I set aside $50 a month. My experience with healthy paws has been excellent and I highly recommend them. I did extensive research trying to find the best insurance company (I know it can be exhausting trying to compare so many) and am very happy with my decision!

Healthy Paws goes well above and beyond when called upon for help with your pet's difficulties no matter how significant.

My dog was recently diagnosed with something very serious. His diagnosis required extensive and expensive tests. I have been anxious about this for several months and the possibility that his diagnosis is terminal is beyond comprehension as he is not even 4 yet. There is no way to eliminate my pain or anxiety over this but Healthy Paws made it less painful buy covering the costs of his treatment without questioning medical necessity, the way "people" insurance always does. Not only did they ease the financial burden but I received more than one personal email from staff members just checking in to see how my dog was doing and to express genuine concern and caring.

Great plan

I have had their plan for 10 years for our Yellow Lab. It has helped us many times. It is easy to file a claim. I really don’t know how we could have the quality of care if we didn’t have it.

Monthly Cost

$15 – $80, depending on breed, zip code, age of pet and choice of deductible and co-pay.

Coverage

One plan covers accidents, illnesses, cancer, emergency care, genetic conditions, alternative care and more. You can choose a co-pay of 10%, 20%, 30% or 40%. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

No per incident, annual or lifetime pay-out limit.

Deductible

You can choose an annual deductible of $250, $500 or $750* *Choice depends on age of the pet

Age Limits

Pets must be at least 8 weeks old and under 14 years old at time of enrollment. Once enrolled, pets can stay insured regardless of age.

Waiting Period

Coverage begins 15 days after your policy starts. There is a 12-month waiting period for hip dysplasia claims.

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Hereditary and congenital conditions are covered, however hip dysplasia is only covered in pets who enroll before they are 6 years old.
