My view. of Healthy Paws Pet Insurance
Fabulous pet insurance! Have been with them since I got two puppy pug brothers in 2012. Lost one last year, and they were extremely kind and compassionate in noting my loss. Have accumulated significant vet bills over the years and especially recently because my dogs mean everything to me. Healthy Paws has a very slick, easy online claim submission process and communicates back very quickly via email. Claims have been adjudicated and direct deposit made to my bank account astonishingly fast! A couple of days! I finish by saying I wholeheartedly recommend pet owners go with this company for peace of mind that you can get and afford the best possible care for your beloved pets!

If I could give negative stars I would
If I could give negative stars I would. We’ve been paying a monthly premium on our 3 cats for 4 years. Cats we’ve had for 9 years, adopted from little kittens. When our cat Titus took ill with bladder stones and a blocked urethra, it cost over $4000. And healthy paws refused to cover any of it. We would be better off not paying the premiums and just save our own money. If you’re going to take money for coverage and then not pay for medical treatment, you’re just stealing from people. They paid for some treatments for our other cat when he was having seizures, so why they won’t pay now is beyond me.

what a great company with competent and kind people. We had a big dog surgery, unexpectedly took a huge financial bite. Fortunately for us and our baby girl, we were covered with the 80% which was massive help. Most of all, the process was painless to submit and we had a refund back in our bank in 3 days. AMAZING and well run and efficient company.

They’ll take your money for years and not pay
When you buy insurance for your pet, pay premiums for 4 years on 3 cats you’ve had for 9 years since kittens, have one of them come down with a medical emergency and feel confident about having insurance for just such emergencies, and then have Healthy Paws not pay a penny. Then you just got robbed. We’d have been better off just squirreling money away than to throw it away for insurance that doesn’t pay specifically what it’s for. These guys are thieves.

We’re sorry for any frustration during the processing of your claims. As per the policy we require full medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims, this includes a copy of the required enrollment examination. Once full records are received (typically we ask for them when you file your first few claims) we then keep them on file for future claims processing. After thoroughly reviewing your account, while there were some records on file for your pet, we did not have their complete medical history (records dated from the time he joined your family through at least enrollment). This is why we continued to request those medical records. Our team worked with a senior claim processor, to utilize a visit from 2020 as the enrollment exam to process your claims, even though we did not receive any additional records from that time. Your claims have all been completed and approved for payment.
