Can you really put a price on your dog?

It's impossible for me to explain how much I recommend anyone with a dog or cat to have a Healthy Paws insurance plan on their pet. I was told by friends when I first signed up that it was a scam and I might as well save the money. My premium was about $30/month and they said I'd be better off just saving the money. A year into owning our rescue dog, Cody, he became lethargic and didn't want to eat. He started struggling to breath. As diagnosis after diagnosis was ruled out, the bills started rolling in. Healthy Paws never missed a beat, sending us the checks for their portion within days after receiving each claim. We are still trying to figure out what is wrong with Cody, but have spent thousands on tests, medications, and doctor visits. Healthy Paws has already paid us back thousands. They have never once nitpicked a charge or line item beyond what they say they don't cover. Without Healthy Paws, we never could have gotten this far in helping Cody. I will continue to get Healthy Paws for every pet I ever get.

Why can't human insurance be this good?

I pay $23 a month for my cat Athena's insurance. About a year after I signed up, she developed an ear infection. Weeks of various medications were doing nothing. Fluid sat at the bottom of her ear and kept coming back even with draining. Her ear drums were ripped from the infection and she developed a high fever, leaving her so lethargic I wondered if she would make it. The vet, whom I trust, recommended a specialist come in and perform a complex, expensive operation that would essentially take out part of her ear. The operation was about $2500. I felt more secure knowing I had HP, however, experiences with human insurance companies, who love to deny claims, had left me wary. So imagine my surprise when they paid out promptly. Not only that, they initially only paid half because I had paid a half-upfront downpayment. Since that wasn't itemized on the invoice, it wasn't paid. I called and explained the situation. At first they asked me to send a re-itemized bill and I said I would. But the next day, they just went ahead and processed it with no more fuss. Also, the customer service reps are helpful and polite. I'm glad to say Athena is feeling much better.

Best decision!

We picked a plan that worked for us and never thought we would "need" it. Well, we did and do. For the cost of one DVD a month, my pet is covered. One day into our dog's illness and our deductible was met. I just take a picture of the bill using their incredibly easy to use app and in short time they let me know it's being processed and then another alert letting me know it is complete. Easy, fast, worry free insurance so I can concentrate on my dog!

Excellent customer service and reimbursement!

My Fenway recently had a left knee surgery and will soon have hip surgery.I was really worried about the procedures but when I spoke to the customer service rep I was assured of coverage! I provided all of the vet findings so they knew what we would could expect! The price is excellent and truly believe this was the smartest decision I have made in my life 🐾
