They don't pay for any wellness check…

They don't pay for any wellness check up, which means I am just paying my monthly fee for everyone else's pet for the past 3 years... and when I filed for reimbursement, they requested "complete health history"... Why are there so many hoops for pet parents to jump through just to get what I paid for back? It's a really horrible insurance and I felt scammed.

Healthy Paws has been extremely helpful

Healthy Paws has been extremely helpful in making sure our dog, Leeloo, has received the best medical care available. Working with them has been great, and the ease of filing a claim with them is unmatched. Unfortunately, Leeloo recently incurred an injury that required several visits to the vet, medication, x-rays, and surgery. Healthy Paws was there to process our claims quickly and follow up with us to check on Leeloo. Having them in our corner has really helped with the financial hardship and stress, which has allowed us to focus on loving Leeloo during her recovery. Lots of puppy hugs and snuggles.

Amazing Experience with Healthy Paws

I have trusted Healthy Paws with my pet insurance since I first got my sole dog, Daisy. Pet insurance was a must as a college student with a dog, as funds were tight and my dog has a medical record like a CVS receipt (unreasonably long). Healthy Paws was affordable and always provided quick review, response, and payment of my claims and when living paycheck to paycheck it was a necessity so I could give my dog the care she deserved. Fast forward to this year, Daisy was diagnosed with Cancer and had to have an expensive surgery. Healthy Paws, as usual, provides quick and excellent service during my claims and then personally reaches out to check in on Daisy’s recovery. She is doing great by the way, but having that personal touch makes us feel cared for and 10 years later I know that Healthy Paws is the right place for our care. Now that we had just gotten another puppy, there was no question in my mind about where we would get coverage for her, even though another company is partially covered by our employer benefits. I will always recommend Healthy Paws for the coverage of your 4-legged family if you want 5-star service and an exceptional experience.

BUYER BEWARE OF RATE HIKES

Have had Healthy Paws for 7 years. Premium started at a low $33 per mo. Increased gradually at first, but just doubled this year to $255 per monthly. We NEVER filed a claim and ALWAYS paid on time. Healthy Paws will take your money. As your pet ages they will keep increasing rates until you are driven out of your policy. A win/win for Healthy Paws.

Buyer Beware!

We have been w/ Healthy Paws for 7 years, claim free. Monthly payment start at $33 per month. 7 years later $255. Same pet, same vet, same claim free history. As your pet ages, Healthy Paws will continue doubling your coverage, forcing you to drop coverage. Healthy Paws customer service says rates changed due to astronomical vet increases (our vet was 7%) and also blamed ourstates insurance regulators (we checked, they do not determine our increases), so it chalks up to a greedy insurance company and their profit margin. Buyer beware insuring older pets

Thank you for being part of the Healthy Paws family since 2017. Premium increases are influenced by two primary factors, the increased age of your pet and the cost of veterinary care services reflected in claims paid in your specific state. Your premiums have gone up since total claim payments to pet parents, among other things, have increased faster than premiums paid by all pet parents in your state. As a result, the premiums for insurance for all pets in your state need to be increased so your insurer can continue to provide this type of insurance. Premiums are determined based on the rates and rating rules filed with, and approved by, each state’s insurance regulator, which reflect the cost of treatment advances in veterinary medicine, and characteristics of the individual pet, in addition to the overall claims experience for the program within the region where the pet resides. We include premium increase information within the "Frequently Asked Questions" page of our website.
