Monthly payment tripled

I have been with this company since the 90's. My recent experience has been nothing short of a horror show. I have had a small mixed breed since 2013. Accidentally, my vet sent a document stating my dog was a bulldog, and my monthly payments went from $186 to $486. It is now 3 weeks later, seven emails from my vet stating their clerical error, 5 customer service agents at Healthy Paws (useless), two customer service liaisons at Healthy Paws (broken promises), and my monthly payment is still $486. Tomorrow, I will make my eleventh phone call to a Healthy Paws useless agent, telling my entire story again because this company doesn't allow you to speak to the same person and I probably will get nowhere. There is no one I can call to fix this problem. After my 15-year-old dog passes, I will never go back to this company. There are plenty of dog insurances out there.

More insurance company shenanigans

This company sits at what is wrong with insurance these days--I had to create a second account for another animal per their rules and when confusion arose concerning billing and cancellation, they refused to reinstate my account even though the cancellation was unintentional and involved a compromised credit card. The agent agreed to reinstate my account after getting "approval" then the next day they canceled that "approval". They raised rates every year.

Healthy Paws Pet Insurance: A Lifesaver for Our Furry Family Member

As pet owners, we all want the best for our furry companions, and for us, that includes making sure our dog is covered in case of unexpected health issues. Our eight-year-old chocolate lab is a beloved member of our family, and thanks to Healthy Paws Pet Insurance, we've been able to focus on his care rather than worrying about the financial side of things. We've had to use our Healthy Paws coverage twice over the years, and both experiences have been nothing short of exceptional. Their customer service team is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile. In both instances, they quickly verified our coverage and provided us with much-needed reassurance about what would be covered, which eased a lot of the stress during tough times. Submitting claims is incredibly easy and user-friendly. What really stood out to us was how quickly Healthy Paws processed and paid our claims—within just a few days of submission. This efficiency allowed us to focus on our dog's recovery without the added worry of financial strain. Having Healthy Paws gives us peace of mind knowing that we can provide the best care for our dog without hesitation. For anyone considering pet insurance, we can't recommend Healthy Paws enough. It's not just insurance—it's a safety net for the moments when you need it most. Healthy Paws truly understands that pets are family, and their exceptional service reflects that every step of the way.

Ollie’s Cancer Hemangiosarcoma

I was devastated when my fur baby, Ollie, was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer called hemangiosarcoma. I know I will do everything I can to help him live longer, even though his diagnosis has a poor prognosis. Healthy Paws has kept my hopes afloat and is always there to provide financial assistance for my baby’s surgery, chemotherapy, medications, and numerous vet visits. Without Healthy Paws, I could never have managed the financial responsibilities involved. Submitting bills via email is easy; they respond quickly and send the checks in just a few days. I can’t thank Healthy Paws enough for their excellent service to my two fur babies when they needed help. I have told all my friends and coworkers to get Healthy Paws as their pet's insurance. Thank you so very much!
