The Summer of Cheetgrass
Our sweet, almost 3 year old Welsh Springer Spaniel, Lucy, has had a tough summer with enbedded cheetgrass in her feet and deep in her ears on several occasions. On vacation, we had to see 2 different vets in Nebraska and in Montana and follow up with our vet when we returned home. With a total of 5 vet visits, which included sedation twice to retrieve grass from her ear canal. I was extremely pleased with how quickly our claims were handled and issuances of checks. This is my first experience with pet insurance and I highly recommend this company. The staff kept us updated on the claims, and I appreciated the personal notes from them - not just a form email.

Thank you Healthy Paws, You're a Terrific Company
Three weeks ago my wonderful Havanese, Havey, suddenly seemed criticially ill. Havey is an 11 year old Therapy dog and has brought much happiness and joy to others. I immediately brought him to the animal hospital and after x-rays, blood work and ultrasound it was discovered that he had a ruptured gall bladder. A ruptured gall bladder is life threatening;bile was pouring into his system. Emergency surgery was done to remove his gall bladder and part of his liver and to clean out the area since he had peritonitis.
The surgeon told me that this was one of the most dangerous types of surgery since 30 to 50 percent of dogs die from complications in the first week after surgery.
Therefore I wanted to make sure Havey had the best care available to optimize his odds.
Havey remained in CCU [intensive care] for 5 days after surgery hooked up to various medications and nourishment and had a stomach drain tube and bag. He had constant round the clock care.I actually was afraid to know what the cost of his care was.
I am so thankful to Healthy Paws. Having one of their top of the line plans took away the financial stress. My invoice amount was $5596.62. Havey's surgery was less than 3 weeks ago and I have already received a check for $4781.66 from them. It seemed to take them onlyabout a week after receiving my claim to process the reimbursement. They have also called a few times to ask how Havey is. They provided me not only with their quick and generous reimbu

Every family member needs health insurance
Our two year old Golden Retriever, Cara, suddenly became listless, lost her appetite, and ran a high fever while we were visiting relatives over a weekend. A recommended emergency veterinary hospital diagnosed pnumonia. She needed xrays, IV's, antibiotics, and round the clock care for three days before she was well enough to travel home with us. The bills were over $1,400. We felt so grateful that ASPCA Pet Insurance was in place to turn this stressful experience into something we could all easily put behind us. Sign your pet up now before illness or accident strikes.

Fantastic customer service!
Over the course of a few months our puppy had a couple of minor illnesses (ear infection, diarrhea), & then she broke her toe, and had an allergic reaction to a bee sting. I first submitted a claim for the broken toe, & Healthy Paws recommended I submit claims for the previous illnesses. Healthy Paws has been fantastic. I received emails confirming each claim the same day they were sent in, and received another email when the claim was processed and the check was on its way. In all, I think we had 5 or 6 claims over a couple of months, and we received reimbursement checks less than 1 week after submitting each claim. And the customer service has been wonderful - warm, caring, and considerate.

Quick, Easy and Reliable
We have had three surgeries with two animals since April 2011. One of our dogs does not have insurance. We were definitely pleased because we did not anticipate all the medical problems that has risen since we saved these dogs last year. This was our second claim for ACL rupture and it was simple and easy to file with. After about 7 to 10 days we received our checks and she is doing fine now. Thanks for everything. A+++++

I wish my own insurance was this good!
What can I say? Embrace pays your claims on time, without any hassle. I have had several claims throughout the years, and I've never had an issue. They even contacted me to see if I had received the check...who does that? Thank you for making it easy.

The best coverage and care for pets!
I recently switched to Embrace from VPI. Best decision i ever made. Embrace has the best customer service and better coverage for my dogs than VPI. My puppy was recently diagnosed with Hip dysplasia. She needed a Triple Pelvic Osteotomy on both sides and Embrace was there for me. They covered this for my puppy and I don't know what I would of done without Embrace covering her. If I was with VPI, it would not have been covered. Keep up the great work Embrace!

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.
