I don’t get it
I have four dogs insured with Trupanion. On one hand, they are great to work with and do cover a significant amount when something catastrophic happens to one of your pets. They do not cover what they describe as preventative or wellness check ups. However, when a dog or cat is in an emergency situation, and needs emergency care that includes diagnostic tests and surgery because of a clear problem, I don’t understand why the examinations for those incidents are not covered. These are not wellness or preventative exams. No pet hospital will diagnose a dog without examining them and I believe that those exams that are done in connection with Emergency admissions should be covered. I ended up paying many thousands of dollars for exams this past week when my dog stopped using her back legs and had to go to two different emergency hospitals and have exams at both of them to see what testing she needed and what surgery she needed in order to Improve.

Awful.
Really bad experience with this pet insurance. Never covered anything for our dog! He has the infection- didn’t covered, medication- never covered, blood tests or ultrasound tests- never covered. Stoped to using them- no answers just letters “we do not cover it”. The awful client orientation, bad service, just taking money but nothing is covering. Do not recommend! Just really bad….

POOR customer service
My dogs have food allergies. Rather than medicating them, I chose to simply change food to a prescription derm food( which is supposed to be covered). They refuse to reimburse the expense saying it is OTC. It cannot be purchased without a prescription so it is not OTC! Metlife is not what they advertise. They are rude to customers. They refuse to allow speaking directly to a claims agent to understand their decision. It is definitely an insurance game. I cannot even pay for both dogs together- required separate receipts or won’t reimburse the expense- I guess no common sense or calculator to add the two together to get the lump sum. They are not customer or pet oriented. EXTREMELY disappointed in multiple difficulties with this company.

Healthy Paws gives me peace of mind. That's priceless!
My 6 year old labradoodle Bodhi unfortunately was diagnosed with T cell lymphoma. We started chemo treatment immediately. Healthy paws has paid everything that is covered as per our agreement no questions asked. My experience with Healthy Paws has been outstanding. They reimburse QUICKLY. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Healthy Paws to anyone that is considering pet insurance. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without them. I have peace of mind with Healthy Paws. That's priceless.

5 Star all round
My dog loves visiting the vet and bounced in and out even though he had to have a fox tail removed from deep in his ear. The vet also diagnosed and removed fly worms from his eye, eew! Lemonade were as always very efficient and fast to process my claim all from the app and email, couldn’t be easier. Thank you all.

Healthy paws 👍🏻
Had healthy paws since 2019 and my dog has gone to the vet more times than the number of my fingers. Healthy paws has taken care of me every time and are quick with each claim. I have a peace of a mind knowing whenever I have to take my dog to the vet, healthy paws is there for me!

Do not go with Pets Best Raised Policy over 40% in one year
I would never recommend Pets Best to anybody who cares about their fur baby.
They are slow with claims and on top of that, raised my policy by 42.15% and would not explain to me why or provide me with a breakdown.
Make sure you do your homework on these companies because they trap you after the first one.

Loses vet records and requires multiple enrollment evaluations
I’ve made one reimbursed claim in the 5ish years that I’ve had Healthy Paws. They gave me the absolute hardest time saying they never received any records for my dog from her vet, but they had been sent multiple times from the vet with fax receipts. It finally got resolved after many months and headaches. Fast forward to my second claim most recently, they tried to claim my dog needed a whole new enrollment evaluation (won’t provide a reason why) and did not have her vet records yet again (they won’t answer my question as to how they had it for the previous claim but not for this one). They won’t process the claim. My dog is 5 years older than she was when she first started on the insurance and they can now claim that she has changed in health. And their premium keeps increasing - so I’m paying $15 more a month and they’re losing my dog’s records. Feels like they’ll do anything to take your money but never reimburse you for claims within your policy. Definitely do not recommend.

Healthy Paws Pet Insurance
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance is the best! Always speedy claim processing and prompt reimbursement. And they followed up to ask how our dog was doing after his major foreign object removal surgery (he ate a sock). We highly recommend Healthy Paws.

Wonderful
For the second time in 3 years our boerboel tore her acl. First the back right now the back left. Aspca insurance paid the 90% of a very big bill in less than a week, no questions asked. They have been great and really helped with a very stressful situation. I would recommend 10 out of 10 times and I have to family and friends.

Renae - We're sorry your pet wasn't feeling well. As per the policy we do require medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims. Once full records are received we will keep them on file for future claims processing. We appreciate your efforts in providing those records, but we are still missing some needed information. Our team has reached out to your veterinarians to get those records. Once received we can continue to process your claims.
