Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

My 7 month old Labrador Retriever was recently diagnosed with a very serious orthopedic problem that required surgery. From the diagnostics through surgery Healthy Paws was with us every step of the way. Each claim was processed quickly and a check arrived within days. The coverage through Healthy Paws is above average. Along with timely payment I've received personal messages from the staff checking on my dog and his recovery. I've used other Pet Insurance carriers in the past and none compare to Healthy Paws. I rate them a 10 because choosing 11 was not an option.

I have owned 6 wonderful dogs over the last 30 years, yet never believed in the need for pet insurance. A few months ago my 6 year old dog Spanky suddenly developed pancreatitis along with raised crusted lesions all over her body. After seeing her vet and then a vet dermatologist for a biopsy, and spending over $1,000.00 she is back to normal. But we still have no idea what caused this sudden illness!! Veterinary medicine has come a long way over the years, but it sure is costly. I am retired and a vet bill like that sure hurts. I researched and insured my 1yr old dog Honey with Healthy Paws. A small monthly payment is so much easier to handle, then a huge immediate bill. After making my 2nd monthly payment, Honey suddenly had 6 seizures in 1 hour. After all the testing, an overnight hospital stay, and medication...she is fine but the bill was over $1,200.00. The reimbursement was quick and the majority of the bill was paid! I sure wish I had this insurance for my other dogs.

I bought Healthy Paws Insurance for my 4 year old boxer and have never been happier. While consulting with my vet about insurance, she said "you have a boxer, so YES, get the insurance." At that point, I began to shop around and landed with this company for coverage. This company is great because they will allow you to select the deductible you want and the percentage of coverage you desire. Whatever you select will determine your monthly rate. I pay about $50 a month for it and let me tell you - it's absolutely worth it! My dog is now 5.5yrs old and we have been through 2 surgeries using this insurance. Every time my claims were adjudicated quickly and I received 90% (minus my deductible) for the costs. If I did not understand why something was not reimbursed, it was always explained to me clearly and if something should have been covered but wasn't for some reason, it was corrected immediately. Their customer service is EXCELLENT. If you are considering pet insurance, definitely take a look at this company. I cannot tell you how much it has saved me financially as well as for piece of mind. I never worry about a $10,000 surgery because they are right there with you all the way. My boxer just got a tumor removed (very common in boxers) to the tune of $1,000 ($300 to diagnose, $700 for the surgery) and everything was covered (minus the vet's office fee, which they don't pay for). I can't say enough good about this company. Definitely consider them when do

Healthy paws always pays it's claims promptly. It is such a relief to not worry about getting the surgical treatment my dog Finn needed for the peripheral nerve sheath cancer on his leg and we are starting his radiation treatments soon.

I love Healthy Paws insurance! We have four terriers and cover them all. Recently the "good one" ingested a piece of chew toy, only we did not suspect he had eaten something because he is the "good one". There were trips to emergency clinic, vet office, specialists and ultrasound and surgery over 72 hours before discovering the problem followed by. three days in doggie ICU. All of this resulted in massive bills. Healthy Paws had multiple reimbursement checks to me in less than a week after filing the claims - which is so easy! We were incredibly grateful to not have to worry about the cost at the same time we were so worried about our little boy. The customer service folks are so nice and they even follow up just to check on him after paying the claims.
