Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I really debated about getting pet insurance, especially since Lola had already faced so many health issues as a puppy. However, in a time of crisis I can’t describe how thankful I am to have insurance through Healthy Paws. In March, after Lola’s fourth birthday she started acting strangely and I knew something was wrong. I took her to the Emergency Hospital where I was told she had kidney failure and her prognosis was not looking good. A very delicate and highly complicated surgery was my only option. This surgery alone cost at least $5,000, not including the $2,000 for other tests and hospitalization I had done to get the diagnosis! The fact that the financial burden of the surgery didn’t have to be my deciding factor was HUGE. If it wasn’t for Healthy Paws, I can’t begin to explain how much harder that decision would have been. What Healthy Paws did to take care of us went above and beyond what I had expected from any insurance company. First of all, I didn’t have the $3,000 deposit to begin the surgery and had to borrow it from my parents. Healthy Paws rushed the claim payment so I could repay my parents within a few days.

We have several dogs with Healthy Paws coverage. This coverage for accidents and illness gives me peace of mind that we can provide the best care for our dogs. It's a bonus that Healthy Paws gives back to homeless animals. Thank you Healthy Paws !

Like many other pet owners,I have struggled with making the decision to get pet insurance or not, then struggled with which company to go with. Then Healthy Paws came along. Yes, it is a new company, but after talking with them they are a team of animal lovers trying to help the homeless pet problem in the U.S. and have the business knowledge/experience to make their mission come alive. We run a hard to adopt dog rescue out of our home & have several long term residents to care for; we would have a hard time financially if one of our own tore their ACL or came down with a serious medical issue. Healthy Paws has finally given us peace of mind, and we know our premium is being put to work to help the cause we are committed to. We have had positive experiences with the entire process: questions before enrolling, enrolling on line, filing a claim & reimbursement.
