I’ve been scrolling this thread trying to find the best option for mine and my husband’s dogs but it seems every option sucks. We have a 7 month old rat terrier and a 10-12 week old husky mix (not positive on age or breed as we just got her and she was abandoned by previous owner). I looked at spot but all the reviews are terrible, same with ASPCA. My biggest concern is the cost of preventative care like vaccines. Both are due for vaccines and I’m hoping to find a way to lower the cost somehow. Someone please point me in the right direction 😅

I was previously with ManyPets and paid about $64/month for my pet’s insurance. Now that ManyPets has discontinued its US operations, my policy is being transitioned to Odie. However, under this transition I’m forced to pay $71/month for a plan that only offers a $20k annual limit at 90% reimbursement. What makes it worse is that new Odie Direct customers can get a policy for $37/month with a $40k annual limit—but of course, switching to that means starting a new policy (with waiting periods and loss of coverage for pre-existing conditions). I had no say in this change, and I’m feeling like I’m being unfairly charged more for lower benefits. Has anyone else experienced something similar? • Is there any legal angle or consumer protection law that might help contest these changes? • Should I try negotiating further with Odie or consider switching to Odie Direct despite the downsides? • What have your experiences been in situations like this? Any insights, advice, or similar stories would be greatly appreciated!

Got a policy update email that will take effect in 63 days. Going from $196/month to $567/month. This is actually insane. I got on phone with them and they said it’s not my amount of claims but they consider the state of CA and thst since it is pooled insurance it is what works best for everyone. I was like, this payment is like a luxury car?! The only thing they said to do is lower the reimbursement and up the annual deductible; right now I have 70%/$500 and if I switch to 50%/$1000 it is $372. My dog is 14 years old for the record. I just feel stuck and frustrated. Especially cause switching to a new one means everything becomes pre-existing. Does anyone have a similar experience? Advice?

Trupanion raised by rate by 56% on my dog who is not yet 2. In other words, we've only had the policy for about 1 1/2 years. She continues to be in perfect health too, no claims. What a breech of trust! I've never missed a premium payment.

I have had embrace for 10 years on my dog and cage and have had claims and have a 90% Reimbursement Rate they are awesome . Over the years rate increase were always as expected .I just got my Renewal and it sky rocketed from $220 a month to $340! Any one else experiencing a dramatic rate increase?

I have had Embrace pet insurance for my dog and cat for 10 years and they have always been Awesome and I have a 90% Reimbursement Rate on covered claims . They have covered many claims and have helped alot . I do pay a hefty monthly price to have this peace of mind. I’m use to an annual increase that’s incremental but a 55% jump from 220 a month is just outlandish in my opinion to 340 a month now . Have you experienced a High Rate Increase also?

My 2-year-old husky/rottie mix, Raymond, is insured through HealthyPaws. They have been wonderful- it's $57/month for 90% reimbursement with a $250 deductible. As I'm sure you can guess from his breed, he has had several expensive accidents, especially when he was little. HealthyPaws has covered all of them and saved me thousands. There's also no annual limit. My boyfriend and I live together now, and we want to insure his 8-year-old greyhound/lab mix, Tucker. He's healthy and has no pre-existing conditions. I called HealthyPaws to add him, but they said the only option is $69/month for 50% reimbursement with a $1000 deductible. While looking into other options, I found tons of reviews saying that HealthyPaws significantly increases premiums each year. Now, I'm considering moving Ray too and putting both dogs on a new plan. Despite competitive pricing, it looks like Lemonade is bad about premium hikes too. Trupanion would triple Ray's premium and make Tucker's absolutely ridiculous. Nationwide only offered Tucker a dirt cheap plan that doesn't cover illness. PetsBest gave me a great quote for both dogs, but has mixed reviews about coverage and price hikes. I'd appreciate any recommendations/advice. I'm looking for a company that is able to do 90% reimbursement and a lower deductible for Tucker despite his age, doesn't increase premiums much each year, has no annual limit (or a very high one), and doesn't deny claims for stupid reasons. Add-on riders for routine wellness are a plus as long as the limits are reasonable- we spend $400+ each on Simparica Trio each year, and their annual exams are pricey.

I rescued a new 11 week old puppy and 24 hours later he was hospitalized for 3 days with cystoisospora, a parasite, and severe malnutrition. The rescue kept him in awful conditions and he was caked in stuff (food? Feces?) when I picked him up. He is coming home today with fair odds of survival and I am shopping for a new plan for him. I have a 30 day policy with Trupanion from the rescue but they don’t cover parasites (wtf). I’ve already spent $8500 on his care. He’s going to need a lot of frequent fecal samples and re-checks of his bloodwork. He also needs another round of de-worming. Does anyone have recommendations?

Our pet insurance (ASPCA) for our 7yo pit mix is up for renewal in May and they're raising his monthly premium by 30% ($75->$100) so I'm looking to shop around. What pet insurance do y'all have and do you like it? I've looked at a handful of quotes (Pets best, Figo, Trupanion, Nationwide) and they are all around the same price as ASPCA or higher, except for Lemonade (quoted at $81/mo). His current coverage and what I'm quoting with other companies is; $5,000 limit, 90% reimbursement, $250 deductible, wellness/routine coverage. Thanks!

**Odie is taking my monthly money and not holding up their end of the bargain.** **UPDATE:** Odie responded to my Google review and processed my three claims. They denied coverage for all of them, stating in the EOB "preexisting condition." My dog developed this condition while a policy holder on ManyPets, ManyPets processed claims for this condition regularly (which is why we have the insurance), and Odie stated there would be continuation of care. **I've filed a claim with my state insurance commissioner, thanks to the recommendation of this sub.** I was switched to Odie from ManyPets when ManyPets sold and want the world to know: ODIE IS A SCAM. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN & DEF DON'T SIGN UP. Aside from the significant increase in monthly cost and 20k coverage limit on a previously unlimited plan, Odie is...nowhere to be found. My claims are not being processed, nobody answers the phone, the chatbot isn't responsive, and I literally cannot get any information.
