We recently had to have an unexpected surgery performed on our 16 month old puppy. I was stunned at the cost of the one surgery estimate, being $1200. First was an x-ray that was $145. I had almost forgotten we had purchased the insurance just a few short weeks after getting our pup, in December 2015. After the surgery and when our pup was home, we filed our claims on the app (so so so easy!), simply taking pictures of the invoices and submitting. I accidentally submitted a claim for his well visit and figured it would just get denied as no charges were covered, that I knew of. I submitted the weekend following the surgery, which was on 1/11/17. Our claim totaled about $1500, which included $300 that should not have been covered anyway due to my error, and we were reimbursed 940. So, 940 out of 1200, which included our $250 deductible and the 10% we owe. The claim was paid and I received the checks within about 10 days. I even received some reimbursement from the well visit claim for some medication!!! It was only 10 dollars and some change, but I was very excited that I had done it in error and still received credit for it. Our vet recommended obtaining pet insurance when we took our pup for his first visit after getting him at 8 weeks old. She provided information on several companies and we did our homework and reviewed them all online. We were most impressed by Healthy Paws. After this experience, I can definitely say that we couldn't have done a better job in choosing them for our pet insurance needs. They even followed up on my pup, asking how he was doing after his surgery. Puts them really high on my list for great customer service!!!
