Visit SiteThe Healthy Paws pet insurance plan covers a wide range of conditions, including:
Healthy Paws only offers a single plan option for dogs and cats. This plan does not have annual or per-incident reimbursement limits, and you have the option to customize both your deductible and reimbursement rate.
For a male 2-year old, medium-sized dog, a 90% reimbursement rate and $100 deductible costs $84.50 per month. For the same pet with a 70% reimbursement rate and $500 deductible, coverage costs $39.64 per month.
For a 5-year old domestic short-hair female cat, a 80% reimbursement rate and $250 deductible costs $25.47 per month. For a 70% reimbursement rate and $500 deductible, coverage costs $19.31 per month. These rates are based on April 2021 premiums in Pacoima, CA.¹
The Healthy Paws plan does not cover pre-existing conditions, whether they were fully diagnosed or just visible prior to enrolling your pet. It also does not cover preventative treatment, spaying or neutering, or routine dental care. The Healthy Paws plan also does not reimburse for examination fees or referral fees.
Healthy Paws requires a 15-day waiting period² before your plan coverage takes effect.
There are no per-incident, monthly, or annual coverage limits with the Healthy Paws plan.
You can customize your Healthy Paws insurance plan to select a 70%, 80%, or 90% reimbursement rate. You can also choose a $100, $250, or $500 annual deductible.

Most claims are processed within 2 days and reimbursements can be sent by direct deposit or check.
If you have a question about your claim, you can reach Healthy Paws’ customer service team by phone, email, or live chat. Support is available from 7 AM to 5 PM (PST) Monday to Friday and 8 AM to 5 PM Saturday.
The Healthy Paws plan doesn’t impose per-incident or annual reimbursement limits. So, you’re covered even if your pet has multiple accidents or illnesses in a single year. Another nice thing about Healthy Paws is that you can visit any vet without prior authorization.
The Healthy Paws plan doesn’t cover examination fees or preventative care. These costs can add up over time, especially in your pet’s younger years.
