When I adopted Daisy (my sweet 10 pound Shih Tzu/Maltese mix) a year ago, I asked all my friends what pet insurance they recommended. No one liked the insurance carriers they had for their dogs. So I did my own research and was drawn to Healthy Paws as a company founded by pet lovers who wanted to do things a better way. And the simplicity of the plan coverage and language was irresistable. Because Daisy is young (now just 2yrs) and healthy, I was looking for protection against any big events ahead. This past year she had a series of eye injuries (corneal ulcers)and we finally learned that both eyes had many tiny wayward lashes growing inside the eyelid rims, irritating her eyes so much that she pawed them or rubbed her face along furniture, increasing the injury. The cryo laser surgery required a general anesthetic and was a nerve wracking proposition, but Daisy came through it really well and we are hoping this is a permanent fix. The claim I filed (via email) for an ER visit and the surgery that followed was quite large and I wasn't sure what the reimbursement would be. Healthy Paws astonished and thrilled me with the next day claim processing response and notice of very substantial reimbursement check en route. As this was my first experience with pet insurance, I could only wish my own healthcare insurance was half this good: the speed, service, professionalism and coverage made this such a positive experience.

Trupanion is one of the best choices I could have made. Vet submits bills and reimbursments are received promptly. Wonderful.

I really like knowing that I have insurance to cover my beautiful little dog in case something terrible happens. And getting reimbursed for wellness care is the icing on the cake.

I only wish my own health insurance provider was as speedy and un-bureaucratic! Our two claims to date have been processed promptly and applied to the deductible with a minimum of paperwork and no annoying stalling via nonsensical questions or endless forms to fill out. It's an old-fashioned reimburse-for-services plan: you pay; the vets submit the claim, and Embrace notifies you of the resolution (in these two cases within two weeks). I'm assuming this will continue once we meet the deductible and start getting actual reimbursements.

I brought Halo into the vet as soon as I noticed her heavy constipation. She was actually yelping in pain when trying to pass. After taking an xray, it was determined she had to stay at the vet for several hours to relieve her. Luckily, I was able to pick her up that evening and watch her closely at home. My vet filled out and sent in my claim form. The next day I received an email from Trupanion letting me know my claim was received and they were working on it. 2 days later, I received an email stating the coverage, reimbursement amount less my deductible. I do NOT regret getting coverage for Halo.

After much research, I purchased Healthy Paws pet insurance. I definitely made the right choice. Brought my Goldendoodle to the Vet's on Tuesday and had a check by Saturday. They covered everything that I expected them to cover. I am so impressed. I highly recommend them to anyone looking in to pet insurance.

I have been extremely disappointed with Embrace's care. They have claimed that every problem was a pre-existing issue. Our vet has reached out to them to try to clarify the situation and explain that the condition was not pre-existing, but they don't seem to care. If I could do it over again, I would go without insurance rather than use Embrace.

When the vet recommended pet insurance my immediate thought was not another bill. Let me tell you, this is best thing you can do for yourself and your pet! It is a simple, yet cost effective way of managing your pets health. In the event a major illness or if an accident occurs your not left to make the difficult decision of having your animal suffer or worse yet be put down because you cannot afford the major life saving procedure(s) that makes difference of a happier outcome. You decide your deductible based on what you can afford. It is not a one size fits all situation. Claims are handled professionally and the customer service is great. You speak to a human, what a concept! We tend to forget animals age faster than we do by leaps and bounds, sign up when they are young and enjoy peace of mind.
