Great, easy claims with app and quick processing

I have had no problems with them. The app makes it super easy to file claims and I always get the reimbursement with a week! I had a stray kitten adopt my family so we got a physical for him and insurance just in case. The poor little guy is less than a year old and has been having chronic urinary tract inflammation and infections. There is no way we would have been able to pay for his treatment without them! I am so grateful and can not recommend them enough.

Great and compassionate pet health insurance

I have had Healthy Paws for my accident prone cat, Reba, for almost 3 years. Reba has not had the best of luck in terms of this health! When he was a teenage cat, Reba had a deep leg laceration that needed surgical repair- twice! A little over a month ago, Reba needed surgery on his left hip to help him with chronic pain due to a previously undiagnosed fracture that healed improperly on its own. I have to say that Healthy Paws has been great! When I use the Healthy Paws app to submit a claim for veterinary care, a reimbursement check is on its way almost immediately, followed by an email enquiring about Reba's health. In fact, my experience has been so positive, that when I adopted a second cat, I enrolled her in Healthy Paws also. Rates are very reasonable and customer service is excellent. I highly recommend Healthy Paws!

Excellent customer service

I have had Healthy Paws insurance for over 2 years and my puppy has had several serious medical problems. I purchased this insurance when he was healthy and had no idea he would have multiple health issues over a year later. Their web site is easy to use and they respond to email quickly. They also were easy to get a hold of by phone. I have received prompt payments that are both small (medications) and large (MRI with anesthesia) after submitting a receipt and the doctor progress note. I do encourage you to understand the coverage (what it covers, deductible, %) and the different plans, however, buying this insurance for my dog was a no brainier!

Best. Pet. Insurance. Ever.

I recently wrote to Healthy Paws regarding my 5 month old Yorkie, Roxy. I fed her 4 raisins only to find out afterwards that they could kill her. I rushed her to the emergency clinic where her bill came out to about $1100. I submitted her claim to Healthy Paws and am getting back $872.00. They are awesome! "I just want to thank you for being such a great insurance company. I wish I knew about you when I had my first Yorkie, Chloe. I had to put her to sleep in January and her insurance company, ASPCA, reimbursed me $325.00 out of a $3200.00 bill. They didn't pay for trying to keep her alive but they paid for her euthanasia. I'm so happy I found you for my new Yorkie, Roxy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

The Absolute Best Pet Insurance

I have been wholeheartedly impressed with both the customer service and insurance coverage I've received as a Healthy Paws pet parent. We adopted an 8-week old puppy and signed him up for insurance with Healthy Paws the day we brought him home, and what good fortune it was that we did. Three weeks after we brought Wilbur home, he came down with kennel cough, which rapidly progressed to pneumonia. Our poor little guy was transferred from our regular vet's office to a 24-hour emergency clinic, where he spent two full days on oxygen and IV antibiotics before he was discharged to come home. The original estimate from the clinic had us looking at a $7000+ bill. Fortunately, our pup's recovery went much more quickly, so while our actual bill was much lower than that, we never had to make ANY decisions about his care based on the bottom line. Because we knew he was covered by Healthy Paws, we were able to make every decision about our puppy's care based on what was best for him and his recovery. When I submitted our invoices from both our regular vet and the emergency clinic to Healthy Paws, I received responses within 24 hours, notifying me that our claim had been approved and they would be sending me a reimbursement check. I was blown away by the quick response time. And in addition to all of this, I have received several personal emails from the Healthy Paws team asking about hour our little guy is doing, and wishing him a full and fast recovery. It's a little thing in the big picture, but I honestly have nothing but praise for Healthy Paws and how they have cared for me and my pup's health.
