PREDATORY rate hikes. I’ve had insurance with them for the last 6 years, and my rate shot up from $78 to $178 this year. Their reasoning was made with baseless claims that aren’t supported by hard data, saying the rate in my area went up because pet parents were filing more claims. Even if that were the case, never has my rate risen over 100%.

I’ve been a loyal Healthy Paws customer since we brought our puppy home 10 years ago. In all that time, I never missed a payment and only submitted a single claim—for under $500. I expected premiums to increase gradually with age, and over the years they rose to $105/month. Reasonable enough—until this month.

I have been a faithful customer of Healthy Paws singing their praises since 2017, starting at $50 a month for a 2 yr old dog. Each year they raised my premium until it is now $183 a month, even though I only filed a couple of small claims each year and they do not cover vet exam fees. Now all of a sudden they increased my rate to $467 a month which is a 255% rate increase. When questioning customer service why, it was obvious they no longer cared about me. I was told to do $1000 deductible at 50% reimbursement, but my premium would still be almost double what I am paying now and with a $1000 deductible I would never be able to use the insurance. NOT ACCEPTABLE!

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.

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!

I used to be a 5* review, but now...

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.

I've been a member since 2019. I've never had to file a claim however, I have the insurance for peace of mind. Since I became a member my insurance plan has gone up $37. I was just informed it's increasing to $51 which is insane for pet insurance when all the comps are $30 lower. The increases originally started small, $2, $5 then took a jump to $10 and now $17. Not to mention they are charging 4% processing fees for using a credit card. This is just a ploy at this point to get money.

It used to be quite a good pet health insurance. But lately they’ve gotten a lot slower with processing time and adding more roadblocks in having claims approved.

You need to be very cautious when signing up with this company. I canceled my policy seven months ago, but unfortunately, they have continued to charge my bank account all this time. I only noticed today. Even though it’s partly my fault for not keeping better track, I called the company back and they told me they have no record of my cancellation.
