Hip dysplasia – helping pets find their stride again

If you’ve got a big pup at home, you may have heard of hip dysplasia — a joint issue that tends to trouble larger breeds. But it doesn’t just affect the “big guys.” Smaller dogs, and even cats, can get it too.

Healthy Paws has hip dysplasia covered


If your pet is less than six years old when you enroll, Healthy Paws helps with the costs of hip dysplasia — including diagnostic tests, surgery, hospital care, and prescription medications (as long as the condition isn’t pre-existing or during the waiting period). And unlike some plans, we don’t exclude certain breeds for any condition. The only thing not covered is the exam fee. For everything else, We’ve got your pet’s back (and hips).

Matilda's hip dysplasia success story

In 2019, Clumber Spaniel Matilda was losing her ability to stand, walk and do the therapy dog job she loved. “A total hip replacement is a big surgery, but I wanted to give Matilda a pain-free life, as she was only seven years old,” Susan said. “With two big and very expensive surgeries, I knew Healthy Paws would come through for us, and they most certainly did, no questions asked, and that took the stress out of all of this.”
