The best pet insurance

I reviewed a lot of insurance companies and also talked to my friends about which insurance to choose. Finally I choose Healthy Paws and I am so glad that I did this. My dog Zaza has a very serious skin problem. Many trips to the dermatologist vet at UC Davis where needed. Healthy Paws handle my claims very promptly and in addition it is very pleasant to deal with them.This insurance is just great and I recommend it to all of my friends.

Best investment for my pet...ever!

Healthy Paws Pet Insurance is a God send to us and our dog Annie. After owning a dog with many health issues and no pet insurance, we were very aware of the costs that can add up in the lifetime of a pet. When we adopted Annie, we researched this site for the highest rated pet health insurance. Healthy Paws was the highest rated and seemed to be the easiest to navigate. After owning Annie for only one year, a mammory tumor was found. We knew that she needed surgery right away, along with tests, X-rays and biopsies. With Healthy Paws, paying for her care was never a concern. I tell all of my pet parent friends about Healthy Paws Pet Insurance!

Healthy Paws doesn't operate like an insurance co.

We have had insurance for our 4 dogs for almost a year and we have been lucky.. out dogs haven't had any healthy issues. Zero. Then all of the sudden one of our dogs got a strange infection in her chest/throat area that was hard and lumpy. We bounced back and fourth between our regular vet and animal emergency (our dog got really sick the Friday before memorial day weekend, so we didn't have access to our normal vet). We were in emergency 3 times over 3 days. Then back to our vet on Tues, then referred to an internist/specialist who we are working with currently. I am writing this review on 6/7 and our dog stated to have health issues the second week of May. And for the people that like "bottom line" information, we have spent over $5100 in treatments for our dog in the month of May... and we have received 70% of that back from Healthy Paws. (We have a 70% coverage plan based on her age). She is still recovering (she has some sort of auto immune disease) and we have a ways to go until she is back to normal... but she is on the mend and this entire process was made a lot less stressful because of Healthy Paws. We have already received our reimbursement checks and it really lightens the load during this stressful and expensive time. My research in to pet insurance companies has paid off... Healthy Paws is an impressive organization. If you don't have health insurance for your pet, get it asap. And if you haven't decided who you are going with, go with Healthy Paws

Easier and friendlier than human insurance

Healthy Paws has been the easiest, friendliest, most caring insurance company I have ever worked with. Hands down. My dog Lenny was hit by a car after he got out from under a gate. His back leg was slashed open to his bone. Sorry for the details, but you can get the picture on how deep it was. The Vet said that he would have a better chance of a full recovery with no issues if we use this thing called the wound VAC. I called Healthy Paws to see if they cover it and they said they would get back to me ASAP. The next day I called, and they told me that they will cover and I should start the procedure. Flash foward 3 weeks.. Lenny is at 85% ( still has issues with managing his weigh on the weak leg)and is pretty much back to his old self. With out Healthy Paws covering it, he would still have a bandage that would need to be changed everyday, and not even close to recovered. So seriously, thank you!! Everyone I spoke to was so helpful and nice, I really appreciate it.

Excellent Insurance, easy claims, caring staff

My male cat started getting UTI's in March of 2014. He kept getting them back before his meds were out. Finally he got a blockage, which we caught in time and then we were told he needed a significant operation (peri urethrosteotomy). Because this was such a serious surgery I opted to get a 2nd opinion in a Boston Hospital. Because I had insurance, I was able to get the best care for my cat and myself. Thank you Healthy Paws for the "peace of mind". Bleu is much better now and we will never have to worry again!
