Denied based on their error
AKC Pet Insurance denied all claims related to the condition that led to my dog's death (bowel obstruction) because they had paid me $10 for when I took him to the vet when he was vomiting a few months ago. The vet took X-rays at that time and found no obstruction. Their customer service representative provided no recourse and left me with over $10,000 of bills for a very traumatic experience that ended in my beloved young dog's death. They claim that they cannot revise the previous claim because it has been "finalized."

Non of medical expenses were covered
I have a newly adopted dog that came from a rescue. The dog came with no known medical history. After repeatedly having digestion issues I took him to a pet emergency. Almost all of the services that were provided by the clinic were described as covered in my policy. I had to wait a whole month before the claim was processed and I was finally notified that I get $0 back. The only provided explanation was "preexisting condition."

My Frenchie with IVDD
This was the second time I have needed to file a claim for my Frenchie, Twinkie who was diagnosed with IVDD. She underwent surgery both times and the claim process was seamless and reimbursement was quick. I am thankful to Pets Best for helping me save my Twinkie.

Pets Best was the way to go
After reviewing all the insurance options for our dog, Duke, I am very pleased with the coverage and service from Pets Best. After a recent knee surgery, we were reimbursed for our expenses in about 2 weeks after the claim submission. The app is easy to use and makes it easy to check on claim status. I work in the (human) insurance industry , and can say this claim was paid quicker than most claims that come through our office.

Claims and Refunds
After speaking with many people about different insurances. I found that Pets best, is really the best for the amount of refunds you get back. And for the cost of the plans. I've had nothing but awesome experiences with this company.

First ER Trip with My Best Girl
As a first-time pet "owner," pet insurance was something I hoped I'd never have to use, and for nearly 6 years I barely did with a healthy girl and nothing that ever exceeded the $500 deductible on my plan. Still, I've always appreciated the piece of mind that Pets Best offered and the clean user experience of their app and website. Then, a few weeks ago, my girl sliced open a section of her back running top speed too close to an old piece of farm equipment. After a long, emotional day, she was stitched up (and doing great thanks to the excellent care of the team at Pet Emergency Center in Mt. Vernon, WA) and I didn't think twice about paying the $1,500 ER bill on a credit card. Filing the claim to Pets Best was a breeze and I got an explanation of benefits within days that reassured me that a reimbursement was already on its way to my bank account and would cover what I expected (full amount minus the deductible and co-pay). I submitted my claim on February 7th and reimbursement was received on February 20th. Pup is doing great and I'm a very relieved and grateful dog mama.

Healthy Paws is the best!
Healthy Paws really is the easiest pet insurance to have, and I recommend it to everyone I know. Not only do they provide great coverage, but claims are really easy to make and understand when the time comes.
They've covered my cat, Luigi, into old age and to his eventual passing, and they currently cover my older Bernese Mountain Dog, Gunther. If I didn't have my pets covered with Healthy Paws, it would be so much harder to get them the care they need. I am forever thankful for the ease of use, and heartfelt messages checking up on my pets when there is a bigger health issue happening.
Vets have jokingly told me to hold onto that remaining Healthy Paws policy with my life! And I will.

5 Stars for Healthy Paws Insurance
.10 years ago we added a German Shepherd to our family. 8 years ago we added Healthy Paws Insurance and have NEVER looked back. They have walked beside us through multiple injuries, surgeries and now cancer. Excellent communication, advice and lighting speed reimbursements. We’re in our end game now and we’re confident Healthy Paws will see us through the final 16 months. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Healthy Paws.
