Healthy Paws is amazing

Healthy Paws is amazing - I can’t say enough good things. My young pup is going through cancer treatment and Healthy Paws have been by my side through the surgeries, CT scans and radiation. They have allowed me to have the confidence in making the very best decisions for my pup. The reimbursement is very quick and I am very, very grateful for their service and efficiency. Thank you.

Healthy Paws helped us a lot !

We have used Healthy Paws pet insurance since 2017. Our cat got the best care we could give and Heathy Paws was a huge part of his quality of life. We had major surgeries covered. We have long term medications covered. Healthy Paws was also fast to complete and cover claims. Rocky was part of our family for almost 15 years and we thank Healthy Paws for helping our family. Truly a worthwhile investment for times of need. 🐾 DL and K

I am so impressed with the speed and…

I am so impressed with the speed and efficiency of Healthy Paws. My 1.5 year old shepherd was attacked by another dog and was rushed to an emergency vet. She was in ICU for 3 days so you can imagine the vet bill! Having such a young dog, I never expected having such medical emergencies at this stage of her life. But Healthy Paws couldn't have been easier to deal with. Easy claims submissions. No weird exclusions or reasons not to reimburse. I was able to focus on my girl's recovery and comfort. Thank you Healthy Paws!

VETERINARIAN: Coastal holistic/Sage clinic

Emergency gallbladder rupture

It was a whirlwind day regular vet to 24 hour clinic for abdominal ultrasound, bloodwork then told to rush to another emergency clinic when ultrasound revealed ruptured gallbladder surgery was needed ASAP!, after hearing the quote for the surgery and if she makes it through will be several days hospital stay. After freaking out my husband says we have pet insurance oh yeah right! Thank god. Just the surgery and hospital stay was $11,000. Plus the lead up cost to get her to that point. After each vet and clinic we sent in the invoices and they were approved quickly and we started to get reimbursement checks the following week after her surgery! Anyone he tells me they are getting a puppy or a dog/cat I tell them to get pet insurance immediately. You just never know. I got her insurance when she was 12 weeks old, never used it till she was 4 then Boom! IMHA 3 blood transfusions, 9 days hospital! Healthy paws came thru and now this gallbladder rupture! Don’t be the person standing at the reception desk when your animal is sick having to make a life or death decision for your pet! You can say no problem I have pet insurance to back me up!

Fine until your dog needs service

Great plan when you have a young healthy pet that doesn’t need meds, etc but when you start submitting claims, they will double and even triple your premiums. Beware.

POSTED: | BY: The Healthy Paws Team

Jessica - We appreciate your being part of the Healthy Paws family and are glad we have been able to provide coverage for all of your claims during that time. We realize no one likes any form of premium increase. As our customer care team member covered in your call, premiums are calculated on a state-by-state basis in accordance with filings that have been approved by state insurance regulators. Your premium amount increase is influenced by two primary factors, the increased age of your pet, and the cost of veterinary care services reflected in the claims paid in your specific state. All pet insurance companies, no matter how they market their benefits, will raise rates to keep up with the rapidly rising cost of veterinary care, including specialty and emergency care. We do our best to be transparent regarding annual premium increases by including this information on the "Frequently Asked Questions" page of our website. The Healthy Paws Team
