Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Run. Run. Run.
Created a TrustPilot account to share this year's premium increase. As a loyal customer since 2011, who has been dealing with the already massive price increases every year since 2020/21 but forced to deal with it, I can't anymore and am being forced to cancel. Sharing this for the greater good, and won't even share further details in hope the numbers you see below speaks for itself. Started around $34 in 2011. These numbers are for 2 small dogs, with the majority of the increase related to the old one).
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - WARNING! Do Not Purchase
WARNING IF YOU ARE EVEN CONSIDERING INSURANCE THROUGH THIS GROUP. We've had Healthy Paws pet insurance for our cat for the past 15 years. His rates originally started at $20 a month. Rates have gone up pretty significantly over the years. We now pay about $300 a month. This is expensive. However, our has cancer and we have figured the insurance is worth keeping. As of today, we were notified our monthly rate is increasing to over $900 a MONTH. This is not just an annual "price increase" and is now completely unaffordable. I've tried talking to the insurance company on the phone and was told there is nothing they can do. Unfortunately, due to my cats age and cancer we can't get insurance elsewhere. This honestly seems completely unethical. They charge people for years while theur animals are healthy. Then, raise insurance rates dramatically when people actually need them. Honestly, this is dispicable and I am disgusted with this supposedly reputable company.
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - DON’T waste your money!
Raised their prices again & never reimbursed me. They sent back the claims stating they needed more info from the vet. The vet provided the info and so did yet they never responded or paid.
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Healthy paws increased my pet insurance…
Healthy paws increased my pet insurance by 212%. They would have charged me $7200 per year for coverage. They said they sent me notice, which I never saw!
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Avoid
Avoid! I've been with this company with two dogs for 7 and 8 years, dogs have been insured since about 4-6 months of age. No issues with small claims over the years, however premiums increase regularly, to the point where I had to cut back to high deductible (more emergency style coverage), verses low deductible in the past. Recently had dentals done on both dogs and the company is requesting essentially full medical records to process the claim "to see when the condition started". This seems a bit ridiculous given the dental are appropriate for age and the dogs have been insured through these fools pretty much their entire lives. I dread the idea of trying to fight these guys to get anything major covered as this has already been a huge hassle and really seems unnecessary for common age appropriate medical procedures. The kicker is their call center is somewhere in southwest Asia, I've called several times over the years and have found it near impossible to have a productive interaction. I stay with them due to preexisting medical conditions but am at the point of just cancelling because it feels like scam if they won't payout for valid claims. After the deductible it will be a few hundred dollars back to me - a big deal for me, probably not so much for them.
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Insanely more than doubling my premium
I had a great experience w/ Healthy Paws and luckily I only had to file 1 claim and they paid it quickly. I got an email from them informing me of their absurd premium increase, more than double, which is absolutely insane. I saw there's a lawsuit against for the same reason. This is from them-" Current Monthly Premium: $68.00
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - I had my insurance with Healthy Paws…
I had my insurance with Healthy Paws since my dog 🐶 was a puppy.I signed up with Healthy Paws 12/30/2018, my wife recently said why do we not have coverage anymore.
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Annual increase from $90/month to $249/month
I've used and appreciated Healthy Paws for my (now senior) dog (aged 12) since 2016. Every year they've had to increase rates slightly; I understand, the cost of care increases, etc. Today I got an email they're increasing my monthly cost from $90.63 to $249.87 - a 2.75x increase. While previously they've offered to adjust your annual deductible or reimbursement percentage to help you find a monthly cost that works for you, they've throttled the options available so the lowest this can get is $201/month. An absolute RACKET. Everyone would be better off putting $90 (or whatever you can afford) into a high yield savings account every month.
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Collected my monthly fee for over a year
Update based on their reply:
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance - Increased monthly payment of $842.61 with no explanation
I had Healthy Paws for years. Then, all of a sudden they increased my monthly payments from $110.74 to $841.61 monthly. I called them but they could not give me an explanation for the increase. I have recommended them in the past but will now let the folks know that they may be in for an unexplained increase and since their pets are young, they will possibly check out other insurance companies. They were great until my cat got older. By that being said, I would think very hard before I would go with them again especially since my cat has been pretty healthy. Money lost monthly for me.
