Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I have had Healthy Paws Insurance for almost 15 years on 3 dogs. Prior to that I had two different dog insurance companies that I insured my animals with, but something was missing so I decided to research which pet insurance companies are the best overall and everything pointed to Healthy Paws. I am grateful that I found this company to give me peace of mind if something ever happens to one of our precious family members. In 2015 I was told I needed to see a cancer specialist for my German Shep Bruno because it was diagnosed with Vessel Cancer. After seeing the specialist, I was told that the costs to try and cure the cancer would be over $11K. I knew I had Healthy Paws on my side, and I did! My dog made it through all the Chemo appointments (10) and survived another 6.5 years with us. My entire cost for the treatments was about $2K. I thought for sure the insurance company would cancel Bruno, but they never did. When I called Healthy Paws to let them know that we had to put Bruno down at home they sent a wonderful card, and the agent suggested I submit for a possible reimbursement to have the doctor come to the home which cost about $550. To my surprise Healthy Paws reimbursed me a portion of the cost. Recently after this past Christmas we noticed our dog Pandora (Terrier mix) neck started to swell and it was getting bigger, so we rushed her to our vet who stated this was out of their league and suggested we go to an emergency clinic upon arrival she was admitted, and surgery performed to remove the welt and submit for a biopsy. The results were inconclusive with 4 doctors calling it a mystery. After surgery she developed a heart murmur and pneumonia. We had to go back multiple times, and the costs were adding up to around $9K. I submitted the claims, and they were reviewed and reimbursed within 2-3 days. We have a month to go on medication for Pandora and hope that she heals from whatever these welts are that are popping up on her body. If not, it is onto a CT scan which can cost a lot of money. I don't have to worry because I have Healthy Paws in my corner and supporting my animals 100%. If you are considering pet insurance you will not be disappointed joining the Healthy Paws Family!!!

Healthy Paws came through at the start of a holiday week when my 4 year old corgi needed emergency surgery for a small bowel obstruction. They quickly approved and paid the claim for the original Emergency Vet and transfer to the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine for the surgery and 4 day stay in the ICU after he developed aspiration pneumonia. The overall bill was $12,286.97. Healthy Paws checked on my dog after the surgery and have been great. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

They have been timely, easy to use, and transparent. They've reimbursed everything their policy states they will. I've been very happy with them.

I am so grateful to have found this insurance for our dog. Over the past six years, we have filed numerous claims for a bowel obstruction surgery and years of treating epilepsy. I am pretty sure we would not be able to afford the care our dog deserves without this service. I follow instructions with itemized receipts and our claims are processed quickly. They have even reached out to see how are dog is doing.

Feeling grateful for having Healthy Paws Pet Insurance! Less than 24 hours after picking up my one year old pup from five days of boarding, he started showing symptoms of kennel cough. I tried calling the boarding facility (on a Saturday while they were still open) and no one answered or returned my call, as requested. By Sunday the symptoms were terrible and I needed to bring Peanut to the Emergency Vet Clinic. This is something I had tried to avoid by contacting the boarding facility on a Saturday (while my vet was seeing patients). After a battery of tests and X-rays it was determined that my pup had contracted kennel cough (and YES he had the Bordetella vaccine recently). Knowing I had Healthy Paws pet insurance made the decision to go to the emergency vet so much easier. After a night with little rest, I didn't want to wait another day to go to my regular vet. Sunday evening, I received antibiotics and cough suppressant for Peanut and he started feeling better within a day or two. Submitting my claim and requesting reimbursement was fast and simple. All on my phone through the Healthy Paws App. I appreciated the follow up message from Healthy Paws inquiring how my pup was doing after receiving treatment. One note: Do read the fine print of your policy so you understand which costs are covered and which ones are not. Receiving 80% of the cost of this visit (minus the exam fee) is a tremendous help - especially for an emergency visit. I highly recommend getting a Healthy Paws pet insurance policy for your furry loved one!
