The insurance premium went up 86% in one year. That is simply an atrocity.

Took a month to settle claim and still getting emails that says they need more information after claims have been settled.

It is impossible to reach anybody on the phone for any reason whatsoever. This is not useful. Whether they are any good as an insurance company or not, which I don't think they are, they at least have to pick up the freaking phone. They give you these long long long long long speeches when you press an option as if you're a flaming idiot who doesn't know how to read an explanation of Benefits and they're obviously trying to prevent you from reaching a human being and I never found out how to reach a human being. I just kept pressing zero forever until somehow it turned into hold music. Then I was on hold for about 20 minutes and I said never mind and I gave up because I don't have this kind of time. I really think these guys suck personally

I have been with Healthy Paws for 8 years, first in CA and now WA. I made very claims until the last year where I submitted monthly arthritis shots ($80) and one urgent care visit ($717) and not much before that. My dog turns 13 this month and they raised my policy from $140 a month to $626. This is outrageous and they know you can not switch a 13 year old dog to anyone else but it doesn't matter cuz I am dropping them. What kind of insurance takes your money for 8 years and then drops you? I am sorry to all my friends that I referred you to them because of positive experiences.

Worst insurance ever. I have spent over $5k over the last few years. I finally used it and they denied everything. It is absolutely not worth even wasting your time reading into any other reviews. Move onto another company 100%. To trust a company and spend $5k and then not get a single dollar back when we actually use it, is bullshit.

It’s been over a week and still haven’t heard about the account and have no way to login. Awful! Calling tomorrow to cancel

Overall, I am extremely unhappy with MetLife Pet Insurance policies and service. The only reason I have stayed on this insurance plan is because if I switch to another provider anything that is currently covered under MetLife policy will be considered pre-existing under a new plan. The insurance model feels like this company exists only for profit without any regard for the wellbeing of people's pets. I am specifically frustrated that my dog's eye condition (pannus) is not covered. Months prior to her diagnosis, I scheduled her for a vet appointment to treat a bite mark and eye redness in one eye. At this appointment, I arbitrarily said the issue started "a couple weeks ago" after playing with another dog - I had waited until the policy started to schedule this appointment because this was our first time at a vet being insured. During this appointment, they could not determine why my dog's eye was irritated, other than speculating that it was a play injury. She was also treated for a bite at this appointment. Within a week of this appointment, the eye redness went away without treatment. While at first covered, MetLife later retracted coverage after my dog saw a specialist for eye redness in both eyes (months later), citing the initial appointment as proof that the issue began before policy coverage. I appealed the decision, got a doctor from the clinic of the first appointment to sign off that there was no evidence that the issue treated during that first appointment was chronic or pre-existing, nor necessarily related to the chronic condition my dog later developed well into the policy. My appeal was rejected, though I never received a letter in the mail and now it is far too late to re-appeal. Now, nothing related to her eye condition is covered, while I still pay over $100/month for her pet insurance. Because of this, I cannot afford to treat her eye condition and she may suffer permanent eye damage. I feel like we were completely taken advantage of, and roped into a pet insurance plan that is not best for us. More recently, I called customer service with an estimate to have a small lump on my dog's side biopsied. Based on MetLife policy, the customer service representative cannot even say definitively whether or not this biopsy will be covered, despite it being years into my policy. While I don't blame the representative, it is extremely frustrating that it is the plain policy of MetLife Pet Insurance to never give pre-approvals for coverage. In this same call, I requested some information on yearly rates and how they expect them to change from year to year - the representative could provide no information on this either. In addition to these problems, in my experience MetLife takes far longer than their 5-10 guarantee to process claims, doesn't update their system properly (my claims from the eye issues still say "processing"), and the system is glitchy and slow. I strongly advise against choosing MetLife to insure your pets - the

They overcharge for premums once your dog turns a certain age, forcing you to cancel and then leave you with nothing for your pet. Disgraceful!

Better retrain your reps and supervisors about telling people the truth. I called five times and received five different answers. Reps are rude. You wait a long time to get answers. Totally unacceptable. Where did customer service go?

We have been paying for insurance with Healthy Paws for 10 years. Our premium has gone up substantially and we have rarely used the policy. We recently had a claim where our dog had an illness and the vet gave us his notes documenting the issue. Healthy paws dismissed it as a well visit and refused to pay. We appealed the claim and have not heard back. They keep saying it is being looked at with no resolution. It seems more like a scam and not worth having the insurance with them. We have used other companies in the past that were much more reputable and responsive.
