Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I wasn't sure about getting pet insurance for my puppy since it didn't seem necessary. However my sister who has an older dog and others had urged me to consider.I really researched all of the pet plans thoroughly and though I didn't know anyone else who was using HealthyPaws decided it really looked like the best option for me. Honestly, my vet was recommending another service but it didn't seem like the plan overall was as good for several reasons. All I can say is my experience has been fabulous. The bad news is my puppy has been sick, ate something that disagreed with him, stepped in something that made his foot swell up, needed some tests, etc. HealthyPaws is SO easy and SO QUICK about processing and payment. I have been shocked. I submit a claim one day and seem to get a check in the mail a couple days later. I am telling all my new pet friends and urging them to try HealthyPaws!

Recently my 11 month old puppy became very ill and needed to be hospitalized. He spent 4 days in the hospital while the drs performed sonograms, bloodwork, etc to try to diagnose and treat him. Having to hospitalize your puppy (or dog of any age) is a very frightening and stressful event. Vet hospitals also charge high rates for all of the tests and medications not to mention the hospitalization fees. This was one thing however that I did not need to stress about at all. I knew that Healthy Paws would process the claims. I submitted the vet bills using the app for my iPhone- which is so easy and quick! All of my claims were processed in about 24hrs. I received the checks within a week of submitting my claims. The peace of mind of not having to worry about the financials of the treatment and just being able to focus on my dog and getting him better is priceless.

It was a huge comfort to know we had Healthy Paws behind us when our dog, George, went into surgery. It made a really tough decision so much easier. The claim process is so simple and the representatives replied within hours, approving the claim.

I got Healthy Paws coverage for my French Bulldog Louis when he was seven years old. The monthly payment was reasonable enough, and I felt good just knowing that Louis would be protected in the event that the worst happened. I have 90% coverage with a $250 deductible. Well, just before he turned ten, the worst happened: Louis was diagnosed with a tumor in his brain and on the base of his heart. He had swelling in the brain from the physical presence of the tumor, causing him a great deal of pain. He couldn't walk, he started having seizures; it was heartbreaking. I felt terrified and helpless. The vet neurologist said that Louis would either need a significant amount of treatment to relieve his pain and improve his circumstances, or else he should be put to sleep. In NO WAY was I mentally or emotionally prepared to say goodbye to my sweet boy. The vet said that with the correct treatment, Louis had a chance, and because I had Healthy Paws coverage, I didn't even have to think twice: Louis would get the treatment he needed. He had to get multiple MRIs, an echocardiogram, have a brain surgery to have a shunt placed to remove the fluid. He was in the hospital for almost a week, and now (once his skin heals from the brain surgery) he will be getting radiation treatments. The prognosis after successful treatment is 1 - 2 more good years. None of this would have been possible without Healthy Paws. Healthy Paws covered (or will cover) EVERYTHING (except the standard exam fees) - the hospitalization, the diagnostic tests, the medications, the brain surgery, the radiation treatments - all of it. Healthy Paws without a doubt saved my beloved dog Louis, because I just could not have afforded the treatment that was necessary to give Louis more good time without them. In addition, the vet hospital would submit the claim, and I would hear back from Healthy Paws that same day. So far, I have the check to cover each of the treatments that Louis has received in less than a week. This has made a huge difference, because I have had to put $6000 at a time on my credit card. If the Healthy Paws payments had not come in as fast as they did, I would have been unable to pay for the next round of treatment. I am grateful everyday for the extra time I get with Louis, and without question I have Healthy Paws to thank for it. Signing up for Healthy Paws pet health insurance was the smartest thing I ever did.

my dog was recently in the emergency room she wouldnot stop vomiting blood. i had never been so scared before. she wouldnot stop losing blood. thank god vets took care inmediately as soon as i got there. yes, bills are extremely expensive and accidents happens in 2 seconds. all those hours i was only focused on making sure she was receiving the best care possible. she was extremely dehydrated, had lost too much blood but thank god the vet stabilized her and she is home with me now getting better. the day after, i uploaded a picture of the invoice and medical records and in less than 2 days they had processed my claim. then, the week following she had her follow up appointment. i scanned them the receipt and in less than 30 min the claim was processed. i could not be happier. my little girl was getting better and healthy paws always taking care of claims as fast as they can. I honestly could not be happier with them, not only do they process everything fast. but they also keep with touch with you asking how is your dog doing and sending her their best wishes. if you are considering pet insurance, healthy paws is in my humble opinion your best option.
