Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

People often say they “would give anything to have one more day” with a friend or loved one. Unfortunately, the realization of “anything” leads to financial disaster in addition to heartbreak. I took out Healthy Paws Pet Insurance the day I brought my puppy home five years ago. I thought he would most likely do something stupid such as swallowing a stick, eating gum, or some other “dog” activity that was not well thought out by him or his owner. For five years we paid on our Healthy Paws Insurance without a claim. I was tempted to cancel the policy since he was now five years old and no disasters had occurred. My “one more day” unfortunately came. Two weeks shy of his fifth birthday, I took my dog to the vet and he displayed symptoms of ITP (immune mediated thrombocytopenia). The cause was unknown. The initial treatment estimate was up to $5,000. I knew I had insurance so I approved the treatment. He did not respond to treatment and the next set of procedure costs made me hyperventilate. I called Healthy Paws Pet Insurance and spoke to the representative that stated, “If the process is FDA approved, we’ll support your vet. Please go back and be with your dog and don’t worry”. Healthy Paws Pet Insurance and their representative were there for my dog and me over the six-week battle that far exceeded the initial treatment estimate. My dog received state of the art treatment and I was reimbursed the 90% of my policy within 3-4 days of submitting the invoice. The vet hospital did their best but we ultimately had to put the dog to sleep. Healthy Paw Pet Insurance ensured that money was not a barrier to treatment. Healthy Paw Pet Insurance gave me one last walk around the lake with my best friend. I shared one last pizza crust with him, and I was there in the end. The employees at Healthy Paws sent a hand written sympathy card and stated they would help in any way they could. It’s not often you get to thank an insurance company. I will never forget the support they gave me during my dog’s health battle and will recommend them to everyone that will listen. Healthy Paws enabled me to “give anything” for one more day. I was able to say goodbye on my terms. Thank You to the men and women of Healthy Paws.

Copied from an email that I sent to Healthy Paws customer service - "You all are awesome! I had heard fantastic things from other greyhound owners about Healthy Paws and you all are living up to your great reputation. Claims are processed quickly and fairly, and are easy to understand. Thank you!" I have had coverage from other companies and none have come close to Healthy Paws.

Great experience with Healthy Paws. No nonsense, no drama, no insurance company games. Comprehensive coverage, easy, clear and straightforward claims process, and speedy payment. We had VPI (now Nationwide) for years, but the coverage options declined and the ability to get claims paid became more and more difficult over time, so we went looking for a new option. We read the reviews on Healthy Paws and took a chance--so glad we did are now in the position to write a positive review of our own.

Great experience. Paid without issues and followed up to check on Milo.

My dog was diagnosed with Cushings Disease, which sparked the vet to search for an adrenal tumor. When we decided to go with surgery, it was much more helpful & less stressful knowing that Healthy Paws was our support. Mina had the surgery, and all went well but she had complications after & was in critical care for 3 days. Needless to say our bill was 4 times as much as we anticipated & we would have never been able to bring our girl home if it wasn't for Healthy Paws. They approved it in a matter of days! I can't say enough great things, & how grateful I am. I will always be a Healthy Paws member & have told everyone I know to also use them!
