Excellent Responsiveness, Questionable Increases

I've had only great experiences with MetLife pet insurance in terms of phone responsiveness and ease of making a claim. My only concern is that my rate went up 40% in one year, and no one was able to adequately explain that large increase. I understand my dog is one year older and veterinarian care in TN may have increased from last year, but FORTY PERCENT?!?!? Still a better price than most, though the increase did cause me to shop around a bit. We'll see what next year bring...

This Is The Insurance You Want!

You would be a fool to sign up for any other pet insurance outside of Healthy Paws. I wish human insurance treated people the way this pet insurance does. Not only to the cover more than you expect, their customer service is beyond friendly and understanding. My cat went for cataract surgery, out of the $5,100 it would have cost me, Healthy Paws made it so I only paid $1,100. The refund was so fast and they followed up afterwards to check and see how he was recovering. They even offered to see if I could have qualified for them to pay it up front so it wouldn't have come out of my pocket. Even his pre-op appointment, I was calculating that I would have had maybe $200 come back to me out of the $1,095; they sent me $677 back. I was blown away. Without a doubt, Healthy Paws has saved and greatly improved the quality of life of my little baby. I couldn't be happier or more impressed with how wonderful they really are. 100/10 recommend. There truly is no competition.

Love Healthy Paws

Healthy Paws provides exceptional pet insurance. The Healthy Paws coverage is an extremely good value. The best part about Healthy Paws is that they actually cover your pet's medical expenses and don't try to figure out ways to not pay (which was the case with a previous pet insurance company we used). You get true piece of mind with Healthy Paws at a very fair price. Plus the Customer Service representatives are all friendly and knowledgeable.

HEALTHY PAWS- THE BEST!!!

Healthy Paws is AWESOME! I would give them more stars if I could. My 5 year old goldendoodle went septic (later to find out he INHALED a grass seed that burrowed in his lungs, causing penumonia, fluid around lungs that had turned to pus).. He was so sick he spent 6 nights in the ICU hospital for pets, had 24/7 care, emergency surgery, chest tubes to drain, feeding tube and they removed 1/3 of his lung where the grass seed was infecting the area. Needless to say we left with a $19,500 bill. Over $20k with meds, followup chest xrays later that week. Thank God we had pet insurance! Healthy Paws paid 90% of the entire bill. We received $18,600 within 2 weeks of the entire incident. I haven't even received money from our family's medical insurance that fast. I have told anyone and everyone about 'our' story. They allowed Jack to have the absolute best medical care. Without it, at some point, we would have had to make some really tough decisions. But because of it, we were able to say 'do whatever it takes to give him the best opportunity to live!'. As long as he kept fighting we did too. I am so happy to report 3 weeks later (today) and Jack is HAPPY AND HEALTHY and back to 100%!!!! Lucky us.

Stay away, run

Very first claim, was sent an email after an extended period of time, stating that my veterinarian had not provided the past one years worth of records. Before I could respond, within two or three days, I received an email with a denial on my claim Tried contacting customer service, and actually speaking with a human. Was then told that I needed to go secure all of my prior records for my pet from other veterinarians and scan and/or email to PetsBest. Seems like all the work is on the customer, the insurance company, simply taking your premiums and making random denials. I’ll jump through hoops this time, but if I get denial on something clearly covered. I’ll drop this insurance company like a bad habit. .

Starts out great, then "wham!" -- they jack the rates up by 30 - 40% annually even if you never use the policy

I had this insurance for one year. I was able to benefit from some signup discounts. I enrolled my dog at 11 weeks of age. He was healthy and I submitted zero claims for accident/illness over the year. The wellness plan is basically a holding account; you pay a certain amount that they hold for you and give you your own money back for qualifying wellness expenses as you incur and submit "claims" (it functions like an HSA, Health Savings Account). When it came time to renew my policy, despite the fact that I submitted zero claims for accident or illness, they told me that I could expect a 30 - 40% increase in the cost of coverage EVERY YEAR, regardless of whether or not I use the policy. They embrace your money, and keep on squeezing. While rising costs is an issue for all types of insurers, some carriers do not systematically raise rates annually (and by such a whopping percentage that is way higher than the rate of inflation). Some offer discounts and incentives if you wind up not using the policy. I'm going to try somebody else who won't squeeze me like a boa constrictor.

Insurance that cares & pays... no yearly deductibles!!!!!

Trupanion stood by me when I lost my first Boxer 3 years ago I don't know what I would've done without them by my side. I've referred countless people even strangers to Trupanion and I know of some that signed on and have been just as happy as myself. Not too long ago. There was a story on the today show that was a terrible miss representation of Trupanion. The person they interviewed spoke of and experience with Trupanion that's totally foreign to myself and others that I have recommended to Trupanion. It really upset me because I know how people believe things I see on TV and I just hope and pray that people did their homework before son gone with another insurance company for their pet, if there's one thing that I would change about Trupanion and is the only thing that I would change it's that if they had a credit card top payment for upfront bill to pay the veterinarian so I didn't have to come up with money on the spot I know only one other pet insurance that does that there are other rates are much higher though, because you pay a yearly deductible instead of a per illness deductible for the lifetime of your pet sometimes it is hard to come up with thousands of dollars but I would never stray from Trupanion. In closing I will just say everyone I've ever spoke to that represents Trupanion on the phone has been so kind so patient and always ask about my pet and how he's doing. That's the one I lost and my current boxer I love Trupanion. 🩷

Great Company

Our Fig required knee surgery costing over $3000. After surgery, we submitted our claim to Healthy Paws. The process was so easy. In about a weeks time, we had a check allowing us to concentrate on caring for our sweet girl instead of worrying about a huge vet bill. The company even sent an email inquiring about Fig's recovery. It was so comforting to have Healthy Paws as Fig's health partner!

False Information

I spoke with a representative before starting my account and directly asked if any future bloodwork, allergy shots, and ear infections would be covered under my policy. I was concerned because while my dog did not have any conditions at the time, she had previously had issues with allergies. My vet confirmed that she was healthy at the time of starting my policy. I was explicitly told all of that would be covered under my plan. When I submitted a claim for bloodwork due to my dog’s odd behavior and allergy shots for a rash she was exhibiting, both were denied. After talking to a customer service representative, she claimed that since my dog had an ear infection previously, all allergy related issues would be counted as prior conditions. She also said that bloodwork was not covered even though the representative originally told me it would be. I had heard rumors of Pets Best being a scam, but I decided to trust the representative anyway. This experience definitely verified these rumors.
