Why is pet insurance important in Maryland?
Maryland’s rich history, coastal living, and seafood-loving culture mean pets are a big part of family life. Pet insurance is popular among Maryland pet parents who want to keep their pets healthy and not worry about the financial side of veterinary care.
Beyond the usual accidents and illnesses, pets may face risks like: ingestion of poisonous plants, exposure from extreme heat/cold, encounters with dangerous wildlife (including poisonous snakes).
There are also environmental factors that can affect Maryland pets: icy winter weather, coastal storms, toxic algae mats on lakes in summer, and household and yard hazards.
Why do Marylanders love Healthy Paws?
Marylanders are passionate about their pets and want the very best for them. That’s why so many in Baltimore, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, the Capital Region, and along the Eastern Shore trust Healthy Paws. With no maximum annual or lifetime payouts, fast claims processing (most within two days), and a plan designed with simple, straightforward terms, Healthy Paws is a favorite across Maryland. Pet parents love being able to use any licensed veterinarian, appreciate the customer care team made up of vet techs and fellow pet lovers, and value flexible premium and deductible options that work for every family.
