Healthypaws #1
Started my insurance in March 2013 because my friends dog got hit by a car and he got hit with a 6000.00 dollar bill. My dog Bronx is a pit bull and he can get very wound up so I was nervous and thought pet insurance would be a good idea. After having the insurance for only a few months he tore his ACL and Healthy Paws covered 90% of my bill needless to say I'm very happy Thank You Healthy Paws

Very positive experience
First experience in actually submitting claims to Trupanion. Everything went smoothly and payment was prompt. The communication via email was above and beyond. We were kept fully aware of the status of our claims submitted over a number of weeks. Reside in Florida / Summer address CT.Claims were in CT.

Speedy Response
Embrace has become even faster to address claims. They provide a complete explanation of their policy along with an itemized EOB. My wellness claim for Pancho's annual physical was paid in full. This is even better than my personal health insurance.

Pets Best is better than my own insurance
I so appreciate the prompt and professional service. Now if only my medical & dental insurance could work as efficiently! Does Pets Best insure people ;-) ?

Very Fair and Veterinarian Recommended
Isis was very helpful and answered my questions about a determination of my claim. She explained how it came about and that I could appeal the decision. I said I wouldn't appeal it, because it was fair, but I wanted to know how your decision came about. She passed my inquiry along and told me she would get back to me. Thereafter, Isis called me and told me that your company adjusted the claim decision to my benefit. This company is very, very fair and several veterinarians we have spoken with say that their impression of the company is excellent.

I think this is an outstanding service
Make sure all your dates fall within the policy period. I was one day early on one of my vet appts and it was not covered. However, the remaining visits were.

Accidents happen, but we were covered
Our dog Summer is a bit of an adventurer. We often bring her for long hikes in the mountains. One morning after a long week of downpours, we awake to a glorious day. We packed up a day pack and set out with Summer for a beautiful morning of hiking. About 2 1/2 hours into the hike Summer ran through a thicket and barked a small animal up a tree. It appeared to be a small bear cub and fearing a momma would be close behind we frantically called for her to return. As she approached we easily determined she had chased a porcupine and had a face full of quills. We had a one hike back to the car and could not wait to get her to the vet. It was a Holiday weekend and of course the Vet bill was substantial, thank goodness we have Pet Insurance. Our claim was quickly processed and after speaking to numerous friends in the area we felt very fortunate that because we have Insurance for our dog, the idea of painfully pulling them out was not an option. Accidents happen and we have been very pleased with our coverage.

Didn't have to worry when our cat got sick
Our beloved Moustachio was diagnosed with feline lymphoma and had to undergo a series of tests. As difficult as the situation was, it was made easier by the fact that we didn't worry about whether we could afford Moustachio's care. The doctors did what they needed to do, and we had the reimbursement money back in our account within a week. It is wonderful not having to worry about whether an insurance company will pay their claims or not. Pet owners with sick pets have enough stress as it is. I am very grateful to Pet's Best for giving us peace of mind, and allowing for us to provide for our pet's health care needs without breaking the bank.

Two positive experiences
I have two dogs covered by Pet First. The first year I had the coverage I had to have major back surgery requiring me to be in the hospital and then a nursing home for about 2 weeks. One of the benefits, which I had never thought I would use, pays kennel fees if you're hospitalized for over 3 days. I was able to send both dogs to a kennel until I was home and could take care of them. It paid $1,000 per dog.
Last year, my Havanese mix, who had always had a raspy voice and panted constantly (the foster home I got him from thought their house was too hot for him, but it persisted and I thought that was just the way he was. One morning when I got up to feed them he was choking like he had a bone in his throat. I rushed him to the emergency animal hospital where they found that he had a large tumor (thankfully benign) on his larynx and they had to do emergency surgery so that he could breathe. I dreaded the bill since he was there a few days and I think the final bill came to $6,000. Of that I paid the $100 deductable and a few hundred for uncovered expenses. I don't know what I would have done if I had not had the insurance.
