Fast and Reliable Service

After reviewing all the pet insurance options out there, I felt that Healthy Paws had the best prices and coverage. Not long after getting Healthy Paws to cover my 2 young German Shephards, I had to use it. Both my dogs weigh about 100 lbs and play rough, which has led to multiple sprains. The X-ray costs are not cheap and I was bringing my dogs in practically every other month with a sprain or injury. The reimbursement came in very quickly. I also was amazed that after my vet sent them their records the very first time, I got an email the same day stating they received the records and wished my dogs were ok. I like how they keep you in the loop on the reimbursement process and follow up with a personal friendly phone call.

Fantastic Experience with Healthy Paws!

Our active one and a half year old dog, Joey, suddenly began limping after playing at the park. A vet visit, diagnostic tests and then a consult with a surgeon confirmed bilateral elbow dysplasia. This was completely unexpected, and additional treatment (CT Scan, possible surgery) will cost several thousand dollars.As anyone may imagine, this has been and is very stressful news. However, we have been thrilled with the prompt, efficient, professional and friendly service we have received from Healthy Paws. Submitting a claim was so easy, and we received reimbursement within one week! On top of that, our questions about coverage were answered right away and we were told that Healthy Paws would, in fact cover any further tests or surgery needed. We can't say what a relief this is, so that Joey can get the treatment he needs. Thank you, Healthy Paws!

Sincere, caring, true to their word - the best!

I have 2 rescue cats, who are now 4 & 5 years old. I had researched several pet insurance companies when they were kittens but could never make a decision because of all the confusing contractual jargon of what "might" be covered and more of what would not. This is the first company that clearly defines their policy. I called and spoke directly to the Claims Manager who patiently and willingly answered all my questions. I made my decision and purchased policies for both of my babies and so thankful I did. My little boy became surprisingly ill very shortly after. Since Healthy Paws had previously reviewed his records, his claims were processed quickly and with no hassle whatsoever. Even before his sickness, I had referred the Healthy Paws web links to friends, family, and co-workers with my recommendations. I will now be telling everyone I come in contact with who have furry family members, to look into and buy this protection for the peace of mind they deserve!

VERY fast service

When Luka sustained a bite to the face with a deep laceration near her eye, she required emergency treatment at a vet facility I've not used before. Healthy Paws said there is no problem with using a new facility, particularly during emergencies, and they promptly reimbursed me for the treatment. Thank you, Healthy Paws! Luka is healing up nicely and is feeling much better!

A Company with Integrity for a Change!

At first I was hesitant to go with a smaller company. But after diligent research and great referrals from a colleague, I insured my dog here and am so glad I did! I am an Animal Behavioral Biologist and author, and my darling dog who I adopted from the shelter, Ami, is literally going to be the main character in my next book! A few months after my insurance started (fortunately I bought it almost as soon as I got him, Ami - my star character - started to lose his fur and developed a related dermal/hormonal condition! Poor Ami and so much for my beloved star being naked - without his fur coat! Not to mention his discomfort and sensitivity to the cold. Well, Healthy Paws Pet Insurance took expert care of us and we finally got his skin and fur in healthy condition again! We weren't treated coldly and callously as the bigger companies do, and as long as they stay great, we will rave about them!
