Healthy Paws Pet Insurance & Foundation covers your pooch from head to paw—for a lifetime. Our dog health insurance plan pays on your actual veterinary bill and covers injuries, illnesses, emergencies, genetic conditions and much more.

If your dog or puppy needs treatment for any accident or illness (except pre-existing conditions), you're covered. It's that simple. One Plan. Four Paws. All Covered™!

A pre-existing condition means that the condition first occurred or showed clinical signs or symptoms (there doesn't need to be a diagnosis) before your dog's coverage started, including waiting periods. Healthy Paws excludes pre-existing conditions from coverage as do all pet insurance companies.

What is not covered?
We are all about protecting

    Notwithstanding the fact that there was no physical contact, the owner is liable for damages to Hinman (Hinman 509). Hinman’s safety was put in jeopardy; and as a result, he injured himself in the process of protecting his body from the canine (Hinman 510). The dog was the “direct and immediate” cause of Hinman’s injury (Hinman 509). Due to the immediate connection, there was no “attenuated chain of causation” (Hinman 509). This reasoning is enforced by the direct wording of the Statute, which states, “the statute applies to the hostile or nonhostile actions of a dog which cause injury, regardless of actual physical contact with the injured party (Hinman 511).”…

    Strict liability holds owners responsible for their actions of their pets, even if the upmost care is taken to protect others from injury or harm. There are good arguments made on both sides of the aisle regarding whether owners of domestic animals should be held strictly liable for injuries their pets cause to others. Many states have statutes in place that protect owners from strict liability claims unless they knew in advance that the animal had a dangerous propensity. Owners of wild animals, on the other hand, are always held strictly liable. This is because it is in the very nature of these animals to be dangerous to human beings, to attack for seemingly no reason at all, and to have an inability to live in harmony amongst…
