Highly medicated dogs- thankful for Embrace
We treated a dog for lymphoma with 2.5 rounds of chemo- w/o insurance. That cost us an arm and a leg. After that, we decided to get insurance for any future dogs. Luckily we did since our 9yo lab/chow mix was diagnosed with hip dysplasia which requires daily oral meds and monthly injectables and our boxer mix with hip dysplasia, incontinence and gingival hyperplasia. We are so thankful for the staff at Embrace and the benefits they offer. Whenever I go to the dog park (especially when I see puppies) I always suggest looking into Embrace.

Excellent customer service, timely payment
My dog Ginger had two tumors removed in January 2014. I was very impressed with Healthy Paws communications letting me know that my claim had been received, what information was needed from my vet and follow up emails regarding my claim being processed and payment being sent. Ginger's procedures came to about $1,500. Heathy Paws had a check in my hands less than two weeks after her procedure. They covered the procedure as specified in my policy at 90%, less deductible. I was also impressed to get a follow up email asking how Ginger was doing (very we'll thank you and back to trail running!). It gives me great peace of mind having HP coverage for my pets. These days, even a relatively minor weekend trip to the emergency vet can be hundreds of dollars.

Embracing and trusting pet insurance
Choosing to become owners of two dachshunds was an immediately happy endeavor. However, the reality of the responsibility of financially caring for them and the probability of them needing care for back trouble caused us concern and fear that we would not be able to afford to give them the care they need and deserve. Embrace Pet Insurance has been easy to implement, has been 100 percent true to their word, has provided excellent customer service. Our first claim is for our 7 month old pup Arlie who injured his growth plate in his leg joint causing him obvious severe pain. Our claim was reviewed and applied within three days. We are set up as direct deposit which again makes the process simple. I provided the claim form to our vet and they filled it out and faxed it over. Easy, simple, and effective. Thank you Embrace for being one of the best decisions we have made for our fur babies!

So happy with Trupanion
After learning how happy many of my friends were with Trupanion I chose to sign up my 8 year old dog, Mylo. I signed her up as a precaution as we were entering the silver beard years. A year after signing up we received news we never expected to get. January 8, 2014 Mylo was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer. This aggressive disease does not have many great options and we decided the best option for Mylo is to keep her as happy and healthy in our pawspice care. The past few weeks have been some of the most difficult in our time together, but I can only imagine how much more difficult this time would be without Trupanions help. From the beginning Trulanion helped me through the entire claim process, sent regular claim updates and sent my reimbursement check ASAP!! I am so grateful I signed up when I did. Thank you Trupanion!!

Never having a pet without Embrace again!
So thankful I signed my pup up with Embrace last year. I've never had pet insurance before but just had an inkling with my new, high-energy puppy that he might cost me a little more in vet bills than I had originally planned. 1 year later and over $1,500 back in my pocket from vet expenses, I've decided I'll never have another animal without Embrace again. No doubt about it.

Amazing assistance with pet euthanization
We were struggling financially, due to the fact that we had just spent every last dime on trying to save our beloved 11 year old pug Henry. With no energy to talk or fight, Trupanion stepped in and made phones calls on my behalf. In less than half a day, I was informed that I could not only recieve financial assistance but that someone was going to come to my home and perform the euthanization. It made everything easier on me and my family and though it was the worst thing I've had to do in a long long time...without Trupanion and Kristen I would've been lost. I can't thank them enough or tell them how grateful we all are for their efforts. I am in their debt...thank you

Healthy Paws is like having a Fairy Godmother!
When our young girl, Libby, ruptured one cruciate and badly tore the other, we'd only had our HP coverage for a few months. Even though the literature said that she'd be covered, we wondered through how many hoops we'd have to jump in order to get the reimbursement. Not only did HP e-mailed within an hour or two of receiving the faxed invoices from my vet, but we received our reimbursements within two weeks, and without any extra work on our part. When a complication sent Libby back for more surgery, not only have the invoices been processed quickly, but they've called/e-mailed us to see how she's recovering! My husband had a hip replacement several months ago, and we're still struggling with our insurance carrier to get the surgeon, anesthesiologist, et al paid. Healthy Paws is more like our Fairy Godmother: we call out for help, and PRESTO! it's all done . . . AND they do it with kindness and a virtual hug. It's stressful enough trying to keep a smart, young, active dog entertained post-surgery while, at the same time, keeping her quiet and sedate. I am SO grateful I'm not having to wrestle with an insurance company over hidden exclusions, or worry about how we're going to afford to repair our broken pup. We couldn't be happier we made the decision to insure our dogs with Healthy Paws!

Solid insurance company with a heart
This Wonderful company helped me get my dog through a tough and expensive surgery (about 9k) and the subsequent care. With every contact, the representatives all seemed caring and concerned about my dog. Every time I submitted a bill they processed it quickly. I am pleased that I have this insurance.
