Petplan's comprehensive pet insurance includes the behavioral therapy coverage that Healthy Paws charges you extra for. Our plan also covers hip dysplasia, which Healthy Paws refuses to cover at all for certain pets. Plus, we don't require a sign-up fee or limit enrollment based on your pet's age.

Petplan covers every adult tooth against accidents, injuries, illnesses and diseases with no broad condition exclusions.
Healthy Paws doesn’t cover any form of dental illness or disease and only covers accidents, such as a broken tooth.
By age three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of periodontal disease, which will worsen if left untreated.
Cover your pet
Petplan protects all pets after 6 months with no age limitations for any covered condition.
If you're enrolling a pet that is 6 years or older, Healthy Paws refuses to cover any hip dysplasia claims.
Healthy Paws also requires a 12-month waiting period at enrollment before the hip dysplasia coverage begins—that's twice as long as Petplan.
Cover your petUnlike Healthy Paws, Petplan insures all pets 6 weeks and older with no upper age limits.
Healthy Paws limits reimbursement and deductible options at enrollment for pets as young as 4. For some pets, they’ll even drop the reimbursement to measly 50%.
Petplan covers exam fees, saving you an average of $50-$250 per vet visit.
Healthy Paws does not cover exam fees.
Every vet visit requires an exam, but not all providers will cover the attached fee.
