No reason not to insure your PET and SAVE A LIFE

My only regret is that I didn't sign up sooner for my previous pets. Healthy Paws is amazing and I could not recommend any business more. Their free quotation process is easy, and I have submitted at least 3 claims by now and it was all a breeze. Their formula is easy to understand. I've never had any questions. The payments process quickly. I recently had to take my cat to ER for a HIGH FEVER and the diagnostic tests are extremely high. I wouldn't have been able to treat her if it weren't for Healthy Paws. I think the monthly payments are SO worth the PEACE OF MIND you will have knowing that you can handle a vet emergency - which ALWAYS seems to happen ONE DAY...!

Healthy Paws is AMAZING all around!!

If you are reading this, then you are a dog lover and know that insuring your pet is the same as insuring your loved one. Isn't that what our pets are...our loved ones!!! I have two words....HEALTHY PAWS....If you don't purchase this pet insurance for your dog, then you are making a very bad mistake. Even in tough times, insurance is a must. My family and I awoke one morning to our 7 year old dog having multiple seizures. The day before she was a machine running miles. Out of nowhere, we found ourselves with a very sick dog, a brain tumor. We were devastated!!! Healthy Paws Pet Insurance has been with us from day one. We were told our baby had 2-3 weeks to live without any intervention. From emergency to diagnosis and through treatment, this company has been professional, reassuring and followed through on claims just as promised. All phone calls answered, all questions answered and even an email checking on our pet. We are almost at 4 months into this terrible and very expensive situation. I would not be writing this review because my dog wouldn't be here now without Healthy Paws. This is a company that is straight forward, professional and kind. They do what they say they are going to do and they give back to homeless pets, so when we purchased Healthy Paws Pet Insurance, we gave a gift and got a gift. We don't know how long we have with our girl, but we have been given the gift of time to love her more and have a longer goodbye. I have shared this company with all of my dog friends and will continue to spread the two words HEALTHY PAWS. Thank you Healthy Paws Pet Insurance!!!

Healthy Paws is the best!

Healthy Paws is the best insurance out there for pets. It is affordable, and the online site is easy to use to submit and check the status of claims. When my dog needed knee surgery, they processed the claim quickly, and I received a check in the mail within 10 days. I was very impressed that a member of the Healthy Paws team reached out a few days later to ask how my dog was doing. I am very thankful to have this insurance so I never need to worry about the cost of my pet's healthcare.

Healthy Paws is Tops

Taika is the first dog of mine for whom I have insurance. I long thought about buying it, finally making up my mind to do so when I found out there was a puppy coming my way. A few years ago my sister bought pet insurance through Healthy Paws for her dogs and a friend had Healthy Paws covering her dog, but I still looked into other companies to be sure; in the end, I went with Healthy Paws for my puppy. Taika's been covered by Health Paws since Sept 2015; $500 deductible; 80% coverage. She had a couple of run-ins with porcupines. She once got poked in the eye. Healthy Paws makes it easy to upload the vet's bills and notes. Each time after doing so, I got an email from Healthy Paws, letting me know they received the paperwork. A second email followed soon thereafter detailing payment. Each time the check arrived about 1-1//2 weeks after I submitted documents. In early August I took 13-month-old Taika to the vet. She'd been vomiting on and off and wasn't much interested in food for a day or two, although she was still playful and running around. She ended up spending a week in the hospital, diagnosed with severe gastroenteritis. The bill was thousands of dollars. I uploaded pages of the vet bill and pages of the vet's notes. A day or so later, I received an email notifying the documents had been received, followed by an email detailing payment, and the check arrived about a week later. My sister had told me Healthy Paws was responsive when she'd submitted claims; reviews I read likewise noted the company responded quickly to claims. Based on my experience, the company certainly is responsive! I've gotten "we-hope-Taika-is-feeling-better" email from Healthy Paws--a kind and thoughtful touch. (When was the last time your insurance company sent you a nice note?!) Health Paws has certainly set a high bar in terms of pet insurance--they respond quickly and their customer service is excellent. I'm very pleased with Healthy Paws and highly recommend the company. From now on, my dogs will be covered through Healthy Paws.

Best Insurance Company Ever

Healthy Paws Pet Insurance is by far the best insurance company I have had the pleasure of working with. First and foremost, they are much less expensive on a monthly basis than the competitors. But it is the no hassle customer service that is amazing. Within 3 days of filing the claim, the reimbursement checks were at my house. Most important however, they cared enough to follow up and ask about how my dog did post procedure and if everything was alright. I refer all my friends, family and clients who are pet owners to Healthy Paws.
