Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Before we got our first dog we heard horror stories about huge vet bills to cover surgeries for dog bites, ingested toys and sprained joints. We decided to get health insurance after our dog got bitten the second time and needed emergency surgery which cost a fortune. We didn’t regret it for a second. Though, people warned us about insurance companies, we had only the best experience with Healthy Paws. When my second dog got severe diarrhea this January and we had to visit the vet over and over again, they covered our bills with no hassle. Since the treatments were not effective for over two month, we eventually had to have an ultrasound done to get a better diagnosis. Again, the bills were paid with no problem. Filing a claim is simple via email, the claim is approved within 24h and the check arrives by mail in a week or so. Moreover, HealthyPaws always send a nice email to see how our babies are doing. Since we had the diagnosis (inflammatory bowel disease) and we have targeted treatment, our dog is doing much better. He haven’t had diarrhea for over 2 weeks now, and he is back to his happy himself. It’s a relief to know that we don’t have to hesitate to get the best health care for our dogs due to the vet bills. Health Insurance is definitely an investment but you are happy to have it when you need it!

My pure breed dog has had several health issues including major knee surgery. healthy paws has processed every claim within one day of receipt and paid to policy limits. Health Paws is wonderful! They even follow up and ask how my dog is recovering after surgery. Best decision I have made in a long time. Thank you!

All my pets (2 cats and 1 dog) are insured with Healthy Paws and I'm extremely happy with the services Healthy Paws provided. They are very fast turn around in processing the claims. I emailed the claims, within 24hrs my claimed had been processed and in couple days I received reimbursement in the mail. This insurance company shows their care and sincere for the patients. They email me to check on my pets health, once they got the submitted claim.

My dog is facing the fight of her life. She has Hemangiosarcoma. It is a terrible cancer that has no cure. Many dogs never make it out of the emergency room. I was lucky my dog had surgery and after four tough days she pulled though. She is undergoing chemo now. If this will give us more time with her, it is a blessing. It would have never been possible financially without our Healthy Paws policy. It has been the gift of life. The customer service and same day claim processing is like nothing I have ever experienced. Calls and emails asking how my dog is doing is so refreshing. I tell everyone I know it will be the best decision you ever make for your pet. I can't imagine having to euthanize my beloved dog because I couldn't afford to pay for surgery. Thank you Healthy Paws!

I got coverage for our two dogs two years ago and we are so pleased that we did. Our dog Nelson had a 12.5 spleen mass that had to be removed. Instead of worrying about whether we could afford the cost, we could focus on what was best for Nelson. With a CT-Scan, ultrasound, blood transfusions and the sugary, the cost was over $7000 and Healthpaws pet insurance covered 90% after our $500 deducable. They also covered the follow up bloodtests and medication. The claims department were friendly and easy to work with. Nothing was ever a problem when dealing them them. They paid very quickly- which removed a lot of stress for us. And unlike other pet insurance, there was no cap on the coverage. I found the insurance so extraordinary, that I actually wrote and OP/ED opinion essay about Healthy Paws pet insurance that was published in the New York Times that was titled "Why I'm jealous of my dog's insurance."
