Thank You Healthy Paws!

If it weren't for Healthy Paws, I don't think my best friend would be alive today. Few people would ever consider getting their animals treated for Cancer. The costs are insurmountable! I am fortunate to live in Los Angeles, where State of the Art Veterinary Medical Services are available to animal owners who can afford it. When my 90 lb. Staffordshire Terrier was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, it was essentially a death sentence and the only question was how long he would have before he died a painful death. My only option was to consider Radiation and Chemotherapy. The costs for this type of treatment ranged from $16K - $20K. I have never even spent that much money on myself for medical treatments!! If it weren't for Healthy Paws, I would have had to say Good bye to my best friend and know that I didn't even try to save him because I couldn't (wouldn't) spend the money to treat him... So far, my sweet little boy has finished four weeks of daily radiation and one session of Chemo. My bills thus far have almost reached $13,000 but thanks to Healthy Paws, I have only had to pay about $1,500 of it. I don't think I could have even considered doing this if it weren't for Healthy Paws. He's doing well but only time will tell if the radiation worked. I am confident that he will beat this thing and I would have never been able to get him this care if I had to pay for it all on my own! Cancer is an awful disease and can attack anyone or anything! I am so grateful that Healthy Paws was there for me throughout the process! I recommend this insurance to EVERYONE as it has helped me know that I've given the best care I could for my 'rescue dog' that nobody wanted... He's gotten more love and care than he could ever imagine!

I only wish I'd known about them with previous pets

Our vivacious German Shorthair is the first dog we've had insured. Prior to knowing about healthypaws our only experience of dog health insurance was high premiums, low coverage and run around. Based on others recommendations we decided to take a leap and try them out. The premiums are very affordable, the service has been exceptional and most importantly they don't delay in providing critical healthcare for your pet without any run around, hassle or pain. It's honestly better than my human insurance plan. Could not recommend them higher! Get healthypaws for peace of mind.

Healthy Paws is really there for you and your pets

I got Healthy Paws when I got my 2 dogs back in 2014. I opted for $100 annual deductible and 90% reimbursement on my claims. This year alone the reimbursement for just one dog alone will outweigh what I pay for the 2 of them in an entire year! I am so glad I have this coverage for their well being and knowing I don't have to worry about the high costs of unexpected veterinary visits. When I was looking for a pet insurer in 2014, my research led me to Healthy Paws and I found it was the best fit for me and my pets. Anytime I call them for assistance or questions on claims, they are glad to help answer any questions and go above and beyond to make sure that I am assisted until fully satisfied. They also always follow up with me to confirm that they did their job completely. I use the iPhone Healthy Paws app to simply take pictures of my invoices from the vet and submit any and all receipts for them to review to see if it is covered. Basically the only things that they have not covered, which I already know is not part of my insurance, has been things like preventative care (vaccinations and heartworm prevention.) I still submit it because i like them to have all of my vet visit receipts to keep my dogs medical records up-to-date as well as maybe they might cover me for something that I am unaware of- they actually told me this is a good idea just in case- I never know I might just get a reimbursement! The claims department notifies me via the app and email to let me know the progress of my claim from start to finish. My French Bulldog had to have unexpected eye surgery recently and Healthy Paws made sure to get me covered, get a reimbursement check on the way to me and even email me personally to check on her recovery and spread the love from their family to ours. For the little I pay per month for both dogs, knowing I have this peace of mind coverage from a top notch company really makes me an even happier pet parent than I would be if I did not have their protection. It really is the best. I would highly recommend Healthy Paws to other pet parents looking for the best pet insurance company out there.

Healthy Paws Delivers!

Only a few months after adopting our cat, he was hospitalized and had several procedures, tests, and prescriptions. Healthy Paws was easy to deal with and reimbursed us the full amount of our policy without any hassle. We were relieved, particularly because we had a bad experience with a different company in the past. We were glad that we signed up for the 90% reimbursement. It was really great to be able to consent to care and truly focus on doing what was best for our kitty without worrying about the cost. We are very grateful that we had the foresight to sign up for Healthy Paws.

Worth Every Penny and Much More

Purebred Corgie. This means something different to us now vs when we first dreamed of getting our beloved furry family member. Before it meant permanent smiles, cuddles, and an amazing dog we could love for years to come. It still means all those things, just add "bubble dog" to the list. Our baby has had some terrible luck. Parvo, pancreatitis, and other illnesses that left us scared we may loose him for good. Luckily the choices we had to make were never financial deal breakers thanks to our pet insurance group. HealthyPaws has saved our dogs life multiple times. We are incredibly fortunate for their support, quick response time, and care (they even email us to see how our guy is doing). Great people, great company, we are very very thankful they have been there for us. We don't know what we would do without them.
