Incredibly Happy with Healthy Paws

Our sweet tripod Moe has had two tplo surgerys, a cancer/tumor removal, and teeth extractions over the 5 years we've had him. Healthy Paws has always provided timely and effective support. We are grateful that we choose to get our pet insurance through them, and we will use them again for any of our furry family members in the future.

Saved my dog, thank you

I'm glad my friend convinced me to get this insurance, because my sheltie (8 y/o) developed a gallbladder mucocele and needed surgery to get it removed. When they removed it, it looked on verge of rupture, which could've killed him. Healthy Paws had always been consistent and quick to reimburse us for covered visits, so I didn't feel the financial pressure taking on a $7-9k surgery (he had complications during it so it turned into $11k). I got back about $9k with my 80% reimbursement plan. Totally worth it. Best of all, my dog is feeling much better!

Our dog needed critical surgery and healthy paws covered over $8,000 in bills - plus they were quick to review the case and we had the money in just a few days. It made a tough time a little bit easier. Thanks healthy paws!

I was skeptical at first about pet insurance in general. Then when I decided it was the right decision I was overwhelmed by all of the options out there. I am so very happy that all of the reviews I read and my co-workers referral lead me to Healthy Paws. I just had to file my first claim and what an easy process! They didn’t over complicate it; website is very user friendly. I would say it wasn’t but 2 days later my claim was processed. The explanation of benefits was clear and concise. I signed up for direct deposit as well. I would highly recommend Healthy Paws!

A must have for every pet parent!

I've been a happy Healthy Paws customer for years, and I honestly wouldn't dream of ever owning a pet without it. My dog recently experienced an unexpected and severe illness that resulted in four nights of hospitalization and expensive diagnostics and stabilization. Healthy Paws gave me the ability to afford lifesaving care for her. I can't imagine how impossible it would have been to navigate this health crisis without reliable pet insurance; it absolutely empowered me to make the best medical decisions for my dog. In terms of logistics, the claim submission process is very simple and easy; just email the invoice or upload it to the app. Healthy Paws aims to process claims in 10 days, but in my experience it has always been much quicker - it usually only takes two business days for claims to be completed and an additional day for the reimbursement to show up in my bank. I've been recommending Healthy Paws to everyone I know for years, and my pup and I will absolutely continue to do so with even more enthusiasm after our latest experience.
