Excellent Coverage by Trupanion

I am so thankful to have Trupanion pet insurance for my multipoo, Jake, who has had some health issues starting from an early age. No matter the problem, they have relieved much of the financial burden resulting from Jake being treated by his vet. Any questions or concerns that I have had are always addressed and resolved quickly by the caring, courteous & knowledable staff.

Easy to use, fast processing times

I have had multiple unfortunate issues with my Standard Poodle regarding embedded fox tails. This required multiple surgeries and after surgical complications. It also eventually required a trip to a specialist for a CT Scan of the area. The dollar amount paid out by myself and the insurance company wasn't as high as some reviewers, but for me it is the ease of the process and quick processing time provided by Healthy Paws that I am very satisifed with. The claims process consists of you selecting which dog the claim is for and uploading the invoice. I am very happy that Healthy Paws is always there for me and I will recommend them to everyone.

HEALTHY PAWS DECEIVING CONTRACT

healthy paws is not to be trusted They accepted to insure our super healthy dog 2 years ago. They requested health docu,ments that we submitted and we have paid them ever since. We never filed a claim until today because our dog had a fox tail accident. Suddenly they don't know if our dog is healthy and they need more medical records that they never mentioned before, so basically they just take your money for years and then once you have a problem make it impossible to get a reinbursment. You will only find out how dishonest and deceiving this health insurance is when you file your first claim! Even if your dog is super healthy and it is 100% obvious the problem was just an accident. Dont fall for this scam. I REGRET having this insurance!

Marcela, As per the policy we do require full medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims. Once full records are received (typically we ask for them when you file your first few claims) we will keep them on file for future claims processing and you will never have to submit full records again. In the future, if we do need clarification for a specific claim, we may simply request the date of service exam notes for that visit. We appreciate your efforts in providing those records. Your recent claim was covered in its entirety with the exception of the exam fee, which are excluded by your plan. Covered items were applied towards your chosen deductible. As with any plan that has an annual deductible, that must be satisfied before any reimbursements can occur. The Healthy Paws Team

Processing time good, email communication different

I always appreciate that Trupanion can process claims expeditiously. The new system is not clearly explained to clients on the website, but it mostly seems to work. What was missing for this latest claim was the usual email I receive after a claim has been assigned a number. So I was surprised to see that on the cat's list when I logged in to check the status. All I had received was the initial email that the claim info had been received and then an email today that the claim has been processed. If there is something I should be doing to make our communications flow better, let me know.

Sick pup

My recently adopted Australian Shepherd/lab mix had terrible vomiting, and required an ultrasound and ER visit. Looks like she came to me with a cat toy in her tummy. I had signed up with MetLife dog insurance through the rescue group. Boy , was I glad I did!. MetLife was terrific. Easy to fill out the paperwork, just sent in the medical report snd the bill. I feel good about being able to take care of my Piper female without worrying about my bank account. Thank you, MetLife.

I am finding the same great comfort with them. My new pup had giardia when she came to me and it took three rounds of treatment to cure it. She also needed blood work and spaying and it was all covered. So very happy I decided on Met Life!!!!

As per the policy we do require medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims. At minimum we require the notes from the enrollment exam as outlined in your policy. When you enrolled online and prior to completing the enrollment process, you were asked and checked off a box noting that an examination was performed within a specific time frame based on the age of the pet you were enrolling. When an enrollment examination is not performed prior to enrollment or during the waiting period, this will affect the last day of the waiting period. Not having an enrollment exam may result in the denial of claims related to any signs and symptoms that are present at the time of the exam. Claims denied for pets due to a lack of an enrollment exam are denied under the policy's waiting period exclusion, which is currently the case for your pet. If your baby has *any* prior vet visits to the one noted in our customer care team’s email to you, let us know.

Pet Parents Cannot Afford to Not Have Pet Insurance

Never in a million years did I think I would have a Vet bill this high, but it did. Leo, my 13 year old cat had three severe complications all within a two week time period. I considered letting him go, but the Vet told me had a good prognosis and I had Trupanion Pet Insurance on top of that so we proceeded. One thing led to the other and when it was all done I ran up three credit cards and maxed out one of them to pay Leo's bill. I'm happy to announce that Leo is doing great as if the whole incident never even happened. I'm even more thrilled that as promised Trupanion paid paid almot 90% of the bill minus a couple of very small exclusions. To anyone considering pet insurance, it is my opinion that you can't afford to not have it. I wouldn't have a Leo right now had it not been for Trupanion. The monthly plan pales in comparison to what a major vet bill can run. It is so worth it and I am so grateful for Trupanion.

I can't believe I am giving an Insurance Company 5 Stars!

You purchase insurance for the unexpected. The times you can’t predict & the unfathomable expenses that come with them. Whether you go to a breeder or a shelter to find your spirit animal, you know that on average what you’re adopting will pass before you. The breed will come with sickness, accidents, routine care, & more. If you’re an animal lover like me you understood this before you signed on to be a caregiver of a such a beautiful spirit, one of God’s creatures. I paid for insurance for my baby for close to 8 years. She had the top of the line package with $30K maximum life, 10% co-pay, & annual coverage of $435 for dental & routine cosmetic care. This cost $135 month. Those who understand how insurance works know the beginning pays for the end, & that’s when you need it most. It’s also the most humane way to share existence with your animal, no different than yourself. Would you ditch your healthcare for a gun to the head because you got hurt? Why should the one you love be any different? Obviously there are exceptions to this, I understand that, but one of the nicest things my mother, another animal lover like me, said in the end was, “you did everything you could do, & that’s more than the majority of pet owners out there.” Crying on the phone that sentiment brought me peace. In under four months I watched $20K vanish from my account & I don’t regret a penny of it. The folks at @embracepetins were the most empathetic team I could have imagined. Yes, I’m talking about an insurance company. They pre-authorized $9K in 45 minutes in the ER for an MRI. Humans can’t do that! To me, my baby should have the same level of care as I do. Before you say economics, I kept her coverage active through multiple tours of unemployment income. That’s not easy. I cut meals, stoped driving, & more just to make sure she was safe. Right now I feel guilty looking at another animal breed online. If I went to a shelter I’d take all of the cats. I’ll own again one day, & Embrace earned a customer for life. After I pass too, because my will is going to require insurance for the animal if they want my shit. You may not agree with these beliefs, that’s ok, we are not dating. ✝️🇺🇸😿

Great Pet Insurance!

Healthy Paws is great! We have used them for both of our dogs since they were puppies. They have saved us SO much money for smaller medical issues over the years. Recently, our dog had to have ACL surgery which cost $6000- Healthy Paws covered almost all of it. They also refunded us via direct deposit in 2 days. I am very pregnant, so this was very helpful to get the surgery paid off quickly. Their website is quick and easy to use. They even checked on my dog after the surgery. Would highly suggest!
