AWSOME

I have four guys. One dog and 3 cats. After our Salem was diagnosed with cancer, we spent over 6,000 dollars for his surgery and treatment. Sadly he passed, but that was when we decided that pet insurance should be checked out for our other 4 guys. I researched 20 different pet insurance companies until I settled on Healthy Paws. Currently our Penrod,(cat), was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. I vet suggested at his age getting radioactive iodine treatment done on him. That bill was $1000.00. The insurance we chose was 80% reimbursement, with a $500.00 deductible. After we met his deductible with pior blood work and x-rays, the hospital bill was $1000.00 and we got reimbursed $800.00. I submitted the bill via email and was notified about an hour later that a check was in the mail!!!! Also they sent me a email asking if Penrod was doing OK. My own insurance company does not do this. I was so amazed!!!!! I so highly recommend Healthy Paws!!!! Our next fur babies will surely be insured with them.

Incredibly quick!

On Mar.6, 2013, my 10 month German Shepherd pup tore out a toe nail. This required immediate vet care to treat the wound and stop the bleeding. I filed my Healthy Paws claim the same day (using their easy downloadable pre-filled form). To my astonishment, on Mar. 11, I already received my check in the mail. I've used other pet insurers and have never had such efficient service. Amazing!

No complaints here

My dog had to have patella surgery. After submitting our claim, we were reimbursed quickly for all expenses excluding the initial exam and deductible. I am very pleased with this company and recommend them to others.

Prompt reimbursement & excellent customer service!

We opted for Healthy Paws insurance after doing a fair amount of research online. We are so grateful that we chose Healthy Paws b/c after having the insurance for 4 months, our 7 month old Hound-mix (Maddy) had to go to the animal hospital for a severe GI bug/fever/diarrhea issue. When we took her to the vet, she was shaking uncontrollably and we didn't know what was wrong with her. She was kept overnight for IV fluids, antibiotics, X-rays, blood work, and stool samples. $1550 later, we were concerned about how much money we would be reimbursed. My fiance's car had died the week before and we were trying to plan/pay for our wedding in 2 months. So Maddy's illness came at a horrible time. Healthy Paws had a $1220 reimbursement check in the mail within a week!! It was an amazing relief. My fiance & I recommend that you get the 90% coverage plan; it pays off when you might need it the most. Maddy has made a full recovery and we will absolutely keep her insured with Healthy Paws for the rest of her life, as well as insure any other dog we might adopt in the future.

Awesome!

Healthy Paws Pet insurance was one of the best decision I have made. My pet is my child, so when I found out that she had to have surgery, I was worried, stressed, and sad. On top of worrying about my dog, I also saw the medical bills rolling in. The Healthy Paws family made sure that during this crazy time, that the claims were taken care of in an easy, no hassle, timely manner. With in 3-5 days of filling out a claim, I received a check in the mail. And, to top it off, they sent me emails asking how my dog was doing after her surgery. When I started looking for insurance for my dog, I checked out several different companies. Then I talked to a friend who has several animals and recommended Healthy Paws and I couldn't be happier.
