Awesome pet insurance company

I researched several different pet insurance companies when I got my new kitten, Thyme, about a month and a half ago. I combed through reviews and compared prices and benefits before deciding on Healthy Paws. They had great reviews and coverage compared to other companies, and from the reviews they seemed to really care about the pets. A few weeks later I got a new couch and Thyme found out he could jump to the mantle from the back of the couch. I had made a note to figure out a different arrangement in the living room to keep him from getting up there, but hadn't gotten around to doing it. The day after we got the couch Thyme went to jump down from the mantle, and got caught in the cords from the blinds that are next to the fireplace. I immediately knew he must have broken something because he was meowing in pain. When I took him to the vet I found out he had broken his front leg just below the shoulder joint and had to have a $3000 surgery to correct it. They said that without the surgery the leg would eventually have to be amputated. My vet referred me to an orthopedic surgeon, and they were able to do the surgery that day. I filed the claim for his initial visit that day(it was a Saturday), and filed the claim for the surgery itself the following Monday night after I brought him home. Both claims were approved by Tuesday afternoon, and I received the reimbursement checks by the following Saturday(a week after I submitted the first claim). I was amazed not only by the speed with which my claims were processed, but also with their concern for Thyme. I was very touched to receive an email from Healthy Paws checking on Thyme after his surgery. I have never heard of an insurance company checking up on a patient's well being after a claim. All of my future pets will be insured through them, as well, and I have been letting my friends and family know what a great company they are. To Healthy Paws: Thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done without you.

Healthy Paws is outstanding!!!

Maverick, our 10 month old yellow Labrador retriever, broke his tibia when jumping up to get a toy! Because it was a Sunday, we had to rush him to the emergency hospital where they stabilized his leg until our vet could operate the following day. A pin and three wires were inserted. Maverick then had to return to the hospital for another night of care. Healthy Paws handled our claim with the utmost speed and professionalism. They are WONDERFUL!!Even though we have always owned dogs, the is the first time we have purchased insurance. After careful research, we chose Healthy Paws, and are we glad we did!!! 😍 We tell everyone, including complete strangers, about the company and the care they exhibit!! We have received numerous e-mails inquiring about Maverick's surgery and recovery. Customer service is top notch!! I can't imagine anyone choosing another pet insurance when Healthy Paws is the best! There's a reason they are ranked number 1!!!! You never think a terrible accident could happen to such a young puppy, but it certainly can and does!! Be smart and get your pet insurance from Healthy Paws. You will never regret it!!

Thank you so much for great support!

We are happy clients of HealthyPaws for less than a year. Our corgi mix dog has had some difficult times during this period: allergy, skin infection and finally unexpected surgery. All needed exams and operations were fully covered as well as all the medications. After the X-ray doctor though our pup has eaten a bone or a plastic toy but during the surgery it turned out that the dog had had narrowed intestines' segment that had to be deleted. 4 days later Yuki had the second surgery. All this time we could hardly sleep or think about anything but our poor doggy. HealthyPaws has not only paid all the bills but also called me to know how Yuki was doing, following with couple of _personally written_ e-mails. That was so touching! I recommend all my pet parent friends to have HealthyPaws insurance and most of them already have it. Thank you so much for our happy and healthy dog!

So worth it! Truly an amazing company!

Healthy paws is great! They contacted the veterinary office when I needed my dogs health records. My Frenchie mix has had some major tummy problems, with three emergency visits to the vet, and ultrasound and blood tests. We are still trying to figure out exactly what the issue is but knowing that healthy paws will be there to help really give me the reassurance I need to get the best care for my girl Sweetloaf! They even contacted me after to see how she was feeling....gah so sweet!

Healthy Paws ROCKS!

My dog Tulip has had a series of infections over the last year after being in good health for a while. I switched to Healthy Paws two years ago from another insurance which was terrible. Healthy Paws has been a godsend. They make it very easy to file claims, have super customer service (they are all SOOO nice to deal with), and reimbursement checks come very quickly. Nothing but good things to say about them.

$15 – $90, depending on breed, zip code, age of pet and choice of deductible and co-pay.

Coverage

One plan covers accidents, illnesses, cancer, emergency care, genetic conditions, alternative care and more. You can choose a co-pay of 10%, 20%, 30% or 40%. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

No per incident, annual or lifetime pay-out limit.

Deductible

You can choose an annual deductible of $100, $250, $500 or $750* *Choice depends on age of the pet
