A Lifesaver for Our Beloved Ripley
We’ve been fortunate to have Healthy Paws as partners in our dog Ripley’s life since he was a puppy—over 12 years now—and we truly can’t say enough good things about them.
From the small bumps and scrapes along the way to the big, scary stuff—like Ripley’s recent emergency surgery—they’ve been there every step. Ripley became very sick and needed a 7-day ICU stay along with the removal of his gallbladder and spleen. We knew it would be a costly procedure, but because we had Healthy Paws, we were able to focus on what really mattered: making the best decision for Ripley's health without the added stress of wondering how we’d pay for it.
Not only was the claims process incredibly fast and straightforward, but what really blew us away was the personal touch. They followed up with heartfelt emails checking in on Ripley and even sent sweet well wishes and “belly rubs” from afar. That kind of care goes far beyond what you'd expect from an insurance company.
In a world full of pet insurance options, Healthy Paws stands out as rare and exceptional. They make sure that when your pet is sick—the scariest, most vulnerable time—you don’t also have to worry about logistics, coverage, or delays. They handle all of that with compassion and speed.
We are so grateful for everything they’ve done and continue to do. Healthy Paws doesn’t just support your pet’s health—they love them like their own.

E LIVE PETS BEST! Simply the best pet insurance anyone could ever hope for!!
"We have a wonderful almost 6-year-old Siberian husky, and she never had a single issue until last summer when she stuck her whole face in a porcupine :-(( we had just signed up for Pets Best, and we're so grateful to have them reimburse us for the Emergency Vet at 2 AM!
Two months later, out of nowhere, Ember was diagnosed with a soilborne bacterial infection in her gut, and it has proven to be an extraordinary challenge to overcome. Additionally and possibly related, she developed an infection in and around her eyes; another complicated issue to address. Our claims have been expensive and extensive, and Pets Best has been absolutely incredible!!
With everything finally resolved (we hope) we have referred every dog (and cat) owning friend that we have to Pets Best. Our daughter, with two golden retrievers ages 10 & 5, uses a different company and isn't nearly as happy as we are, even though it is more expensive. She will soon be getting a new dog, and can't wait to switch to Pets Best! We couldn't be more impressed with the extraordinary service they provide, the kindness, compassion, and professionalism of their phone staff, including their emergency call in option. They are quick to respond and if there is a delay, they communicate the reason clearly. It's an absolutely wonderful company and we will NEVER use anyone else. I hope that we can stop incurring charges!!
Thank you thank you thank you, Pets Best!!!

Speedy Claim Results For An Ear Infection
My dog had an ear infection that required a visit to the vet. I submitted a claim which included the exam, lab tests, and medication. I received a email immediately saying that my claim had been received and about two days later, another email came saying I was been reimbursed for the vet visit. I think the money was deposited in my bank account a few days later. I was pleased at how quickly this all occurred.

Very good
I had ensured my dogs, and the first month I did report the vet visit, and they reimbursed me a good amount of the bill I paid for it.

Quick and Easy
Claim submission online was relatively quick and easy although the upload process for documents proved a little quirky.

We have had TruPanion since 2013, the year my boys were born. I can’t say enough about their customer service, compassion and all over knowledge. We’ve used it maybe 4 or 5 times over that last eleven years but we’re always so grateful we had it. Has saved us literally thousands of dollars. Really worth trying to fit it into your budget, as I have as a senior on Social Security, but my boys are worth every penny. Thank you, TruPanion, from Rudy and Bandit, too!

So Easy
I am amazed at how easy and convenient Trupanion is. Best investment I've made for my pups and their health.
Now, if only my health insurance was this easy.

Misleading
I recently switched to Metlife pet insurance because all over their website they claim to process claims quickly. Everything was great to start, i was quickly reimbursed for my first claim and everything was going well. But it was clearly too good to be true because that’s when things hit the fan, my puppy was recently diagnosed with bronchitis, all the vet expenses ended up costing $1000+ but i wasn’t worried about it because I thought i had great pet insurance that I thought would reimburse us quickly. I was wrong, to start i’ve been waiting 3 weeks for my claim to be processed, when i had reached out to figure out what’s the hold up, they stated they need notes from doctor, usually they just contact the vet themselves which had not at all been done and no one communicated to me at all while waiting, that that was the reason for the hold up. So i got the notes myself and submitted them on my own, the first rep that i spoke with stated that once the notes were submitted that the processing would be expedited, that was a lie because the rep I spoke with after that said they do not expedite that process and she had no clue what the processing time would be. Again at this point i’ve been waiting 3 weeks despite them advertising 5 day and on the site it says 5-10 days. It’s been way longer than that and i feel like my times being wasted and im very frustrated with the lying and misleading nature from customer support. I feel like you can’t really fulfill your claims of being quick with processing claims, maybe don’t advertise that you are and lie to perspective customers.

Healthy Paws for the win!
When our three-year-old healthy cat suddenly had a major medical emergency, we didn’t think twice about getting her the care she needed. We quickly wracked up about $7,500 in vet bills, seeing a specialist and doing multiple tests. We had never submitted an insurance claim for a pet before, and we were nervous. Thank goodness we chose Healthy Paws to cover her when she was still a kitten! They reimbursed us for everything we expected, given the plan we chose. I can’t thank Healthy Paws enough for how easy they made the process and how quickly they processed our claims! It was a relief to know we wouldn’t have to shoulder the financial burden alone, and we were able to focus on helping our kitty recover. Thankfully, she is doing much better now and we are grateful to have our family member back to her sweet, playful self.
