Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Our silver lab, Koa, managed to get into a baby bag while we were at work. He opened and ate a few items to include baby food and a bottle of Advil. The bottle was not full, but we had no idea how many pills were in the bottle. We immediately took him to the Animal Hospital in a new state (we recently moved from Arizona to Virginia). Koa was admitted to the hospital for treatment after a consultation with the animal poison control. In all, Koa spent 8 days in the hospital on 24/7 IV fluids and medications for his gastrointestinal tract. I checked the Healthy Paws app and website to verify what I already knew: that his services would be covered. I had two conversations a day with the veterinarians administering Koa's treatment and the discussion often revolved around whether we could afford to keep Koa on the IV fluids until his laboratory results showed that the toxins had been eliminated from his system. This was a touchy subject for the veterinarians because the treatment was close to $1000 a day and while they wanted to recommend the continued treatment they realized that many people could not afford the treatment. I assured them that Koa was covered and that we would and could do anything medically necessary to give Koa the best chance to live a long and healthy life. I cannot emphasize enough the peace of mind that I had throughout this ordeal knowing that I could afford to give Koa the best chance to live a long and healthy life. I never once had to hesitate or look at alternatives to treatment. I first came to Healthy Paws when Koa was a puppy. I chose what I felt was the coverage I wanted at a price that I could afford. I have recommended them to other dog lovers since Koa was a puppy. This event has only strengthened my belief in the truly outstanding service that Healthy Paws provided, and I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know. Our final bill was $8000. I submitted the claim through my app before I even left the hospital, and I received the check in the mail with in 5 days to include a weekend. Koa is healthy, happy, and home with us, and I am not sure that would be the case without Healthy Paws. For our family, the peace of mind of knowing, without a doubt, that we could do anything medically necessary to keep our family member with us for as long as possible was immeasurable, and I have Healthy Paws to thank for that.

Submitted claim on the Sunday before Memorial day and got a check the following Monday, claims process is very easy and I would never have a pet without insurance with Healthy Paws and would highly recommend them.

Kind, attentive phone staff who do their best to answer questions immediately. Prompt follow-up on claims. Emails to let you know claim status. Follow-up after illness.

I want to thank healthy paws for actually covering what was promised. We originally had aspca pet insurance from the day we got him and in the first few months he became sick and constantly had diarrhea. We had to bring him in the middle of the night and spent $600 at the emergency vet. Although we had a 90% plan, they didn't even cover 40% of the bill. Additionally, aspca insurance had a higher monthly fee. We read reviews on healthy paws and switched. For the vomiting a few weeks ago, we were nervous as the bill was almost $600 for our first visit and then around $1500 for the second. We didn't want to have to choose between our dogs care and coming up with $2000 from our savings or credit cards. I filed the claims for the two visits within literally 2-3 minutes using the iPhone app. We were so relived to see the processed claim showed that healthy paws actually covered what they said they would. We were thankful that Ollie was able to go to what is considered the best emergency veterinary hospital in New England and get the best care. He was monitored 24/7 during his hospital stay. We were able to say ok to his X-rays, ultrasound and when the doctor recommended he stay another night in the hospital we could do so without adding any financial stress to ourselves. We love our dog like he is part of our family and just want to thank healthy paws for following through on your promise & covering what they say they will cover.

Our WPG was bit on the nose by a rattlesnake while we were camping at Lake Roosevelt. We rushed him to the emergency vets in Spokane where he was given treatment. After getting the bill I was a little scared about how much was going to be covered and how big of a hassle it was going to be. When I got home I submitted the claim and hoped for the best. I was shocked when I got a response in less than 30 minutes saying that our claim was approved and even more shocked when I saw the amount that was covered. Thank you Healthy Paws!!!
