Works for Me
Decently fast response time and reasonable payout. Haven't had any major health problems with our cat yet, so can't comment on how it goes for that. Would recommend.

Excellent and Quick Claims Service
My dog was diagnosed with diabetes three months ago. We had a difficult time regulated our 8 year old Scottish Terrier's blood glucose level and required many, many visits to the vet. The vet submitted the claims and a week later a check from Trupanion arrived in the mail, making a very stressful situation a bit less stressful since we did not have to worry about the finances. Getting Trupanion for our dog was the best decision we ever made.

Peace of mind!
About two months after adopting a rescue dog I noticed a small mass one day while giving her a bath. The scheduled surgery to remove the mass led to blood tests that revealed a further irregularity and further tests, ultimately showing she had a mass on her spleen and an enlarged liver. She had to have a splenectomy, have the first mass removed, have the masses and her liver biopsied. We were relieved to learn that everything was benign and manageable, but with the location of the two masses, they had to come out asap. We called Embrace and submitted the pre-surgery form and scheduled the surgery right away. Everything was processed so quickly (within 2 weeks). Embrace answered all our questions via email and phone, and they sent regular email updates until the paperwork was done.
At first I was skeptical of getting pet insurance, but I financed all of my last dog's medical bills myself, which I would do all over again, but at the end of his life it was a real financial hardship. I wanted to give our new dog the very best and didn't want to have to make decisions based on money. So I shopped around and compared insurance companies and Embrace seemed to offer the most comprehensive and fair coverage. Having just gone through the various kinds of medical issues that come up with a very senior dog, and having just adopted a new senior dog whose medical history I knew nothing about, I wanted an insurance policy that was flexible. Embrace lets you customize the policy to best suit your needs and budget.
It offers complete peace of mind. I'm so happy we have it, and I just added our cat to the policy, who is young and healthy but deserves the very same.

Amazing, reliable, first rate insurance
Prior to having my own dogs, I watched my mother struggle with getting her pet insurance (not Healthy Paws) to cover *any* expense for her dog. After hours filling out paperwork and faxing in countless documents, my mom was still rarely able to get any coverage despite the fact that all her claims were actually within the statutes of the insurance. There always seemed to be a loophole.
When I got my two dogs, I knew I needed insurance, but had concern that my experience would just as arduous as my mother's. After much research, I finally decided upon Healthy Paws. Not only were their representatives incredibly reliable and professional, they were also kind and patient with my many questions and points of contact prior to signing on. Additionally, Healthy Paws' policies also seemed very fair and almost too good to be true. Every review I read (both from pet owners and companies performing large scale reviews of all pet insurances) also gave a strong endorsement for the insurance company.
Am I glad I made that decision for both my dogs! Since signing with Healthy Paws, I unfortunately have needed to file multiple claims for both my dogs with a total well over $1,000.00. Healthy Paws makes filing claims so easy and convenient--the doctor faxes in her note and I take a picture of the invoice (on the Healthy Paws app!), and I receive a reimbursed check within a week. Every time. Even better, Healthy Paws representatives are always available to answer every question I have. The app makes it so easy to submit and track claims, as well as manage the policies on both my dogs.
Considering the exorbitant costs of pet care, especially medical care or emergency services, Healthy Paws literally enables me to be a good, responsible pet owner with their exceptional insurance coverage and services. I can literally sleep better at night knowing that I can have a proper medical work-up for my dog who has been vomiting and having bloody stool, without having to take out a a loan or forego a needed endoscopy or medications due to cost.
Even more impressive, not only do the representatives ask how my dogs are when I call, but I also received an email from a Healthy Paws manager asking how my dog was doing. I truly feel blessed to have found Healthy Paws and recommend them without hesitation to anyone with a pet--even if you have other insurance, I'd be hard pressed to believe it can beat what Healthy Paws offers.

Quick Reimbursements and Great Customer Service!
We have two Golden Retrievers who have entered their senior years. We've had ASPCA Pet Insurance for a few years and have always found the customer service to be excellent. The premiums are reasonable, the coverage is good, and claims are easy to file and are processed quickly with quick reimbursement. It's stressful enough when your pets are not well, so it's quite a relief to have the insurance claims experience be easy and stress-free.

A must have for your pup(s)
Normally when I think of insurance I just see it as another bill to pay but when I picked my puppy up for the first time and brought him home, just the look in his eyes screamed trouble. I would rather be safe than sorry with my little guy. I scoured the internet for a solid two weeks reading reviews and their full policies. By the time I came down to two it had been a month and I needed to make a decision. HealthyPaws came up as a solid top-tier contender in a majority of the reviews I read and their policy was very clear and comprehensive. I purchased the insurance and for 3 years never came close to using it but it provided a sense of safety if anything were to happen to my pup. Sure enough at a routine visit the vet diagnosed a knee condition and it was so bad it required surgery. The stress I was going through at the time was unbearable. Financially and emotionally drained I spoke with representative about how I was supposed to file a claim and assumed I'd get a runaround and something wouldn't be covered. To my shock, the representative I spoke with was so kind and helpful. They explained my coverage and even informed me of things that were applicable to a claim that weren't immediately apparent in the documents. I cannot recommend HealthyPaws enough. You never want to be in a position where your finances dictate your pup's well-being and HealthyPaws made that a non-issue in my case.

Excellent Customer Service and Terrific Coverage
We have been thrilled with both the customer service provided by Pets Best and the coverage. We have had coverage from Pets Best since our black lab Rosie was a puppy. My husband originally thought I was crazy and questioned the need for pet insurance but we have had two major claims in the past two years. One was for mast cell tumor removal and the other was for a fully torn ACL and torn meniscus. So far our claims have totaled about $4000. Whenever I call for information I am always directed to a compassionate human being who listens to my request and tells me exactly what to do and what is covered. The representatives are excellent. The claims process is so easy (all online) and professional and the funds are deposited directly into my bank account. Rosie is almost 8 years old and my husband will tell you now that this was one of the best decisions HE ever made! We recommend Pets Best very highly!
