Boone’s ACL

A few months ago, my high energy 2 year old blue heeler named Boone fell off our back deck and tore his ACL. We got in to see a surgeon as soon as we could and were told a TPLO surgery was the best option. The overall process of attending pre-op visits, scheduling surgery dates, and 10 weeks of recovery have been pretty stressful, and we just wanted our dog to be healthy and able to run around and play again. Submitting my claim to Pet's Best insurance has been the least stressful part of this entire ordeal. I just uploaded my documents to my claim on my account and after a few weeks the claim had been completed with a full explanation of everything that was covered. I am truly thankful for this company for taking a weight off my shoulders during this stressful time. I plan on recommending them to every pet owner I meet. Boone is currently on week 4 of his recovery and doing great, hoping he can run in the yard and go on his favorite hikes very soon!

Can't beat this service

It's not often I write about first class service, but in this case, I thought it was important to share my experience as this company is awesome on several fronts, policies offered, customer relations and more. I have been a customer for years but never filed a significant claim as I have been fortunate until recently when my German Sheperd required surgery to remove a mass from her side, then came the bill, then came Nationwide, in both cases it was a home run, great surgeon and great coverage. Wait, it gets better, once my claim was submitted via website, I got a response within 48 hours that it was received and were processing the claim then three days later the reimbursement was ready and would be electronically sent within 24-48 hours, that's a wow, extremely impressed. I would also like share the outstanding service I got at the customer care center in Orlando, Emily, she was great, she walked me thru the process to set up the electronic payment account, trust me, it wasn't easy as I'm not a computer buff but with her extreme patience and expertise we got thru it, she was great. So bottom line is, I'm a happy camper, it's a hard find today to find such high-end service, they really are on our side. Thanks to all, it's helping me deal with a bad situation, really appreciate it.

Too bad this isn't the norm. We've had policies on two of our dogs, very healthy, no issues and they are in mid-life. One of our polices was dropped, on the youngest, with the reason they wanted to boot us out of a policy we purchased four years ago, and force us into a more expensive "newer" policy. Bait & switch.

How is this legal?

After eight years as a Pets Plus Us customer, I'm incredibly disappointed with the recent changes and lack of communication I've experienced. What started as a reliable insurance provider for my furry friend has transformed into a frustrating and potentially predatory service. The initial shock came when I noticed a premium didn't come out of my bank account. Upon calling Pets Plus Us, I was informed that my policy was discontinued and I hadn't opted into their new coverage. The problem? I never received any notification of this significant change. This lack of communication alone is unacceptable for a long-standing customer. However, the real issue lies in the details of the new plan. I was offered a policy with drastically reduced coverage – a drop from $5000 per incident to a mere $3000 annually total. This represents a massive decrease in protection for my pet. To add insult to injury, this downgraded coverage comes at a higher price, nearly $30 more per month than my previous policy. When I raised my concerns with Pets Plus Us, I was essentially told that this severely limited plan was my only option. Furthermore, they informed me that if I chose to explore other plans or insurance providers with better coverage, any prior vet visits – even for common issues like vomiting or accidental ingestion – would be considered pre-existing conditions. This is a blatant attempt to strong-arm loyal customers into accepting a subpar product with significantly reduced benefits. This tactic feels incredibly disingenuous and borderline unethical. To penalize customers for exploring better options after unilaterally changing their policy is a terrible practice. It leaves me questioning the integrity of the company and its commitment to its customers. My loyalty of eight years has been met with a complete lack of transparency, a significant reduction in coverage, and thinly veiled threats. While I understand that companies can change their policies, the way Pets Plus Us has handled this transition is deeply concerning. I'm left wondering how this is even legal, and more importantly, I'm incredibly disappointed that this is how Pets Plus Us treats its long-standing customers. Be warned: what appears to be a reliable and trustworthy insurance provider can quickly become a source of frustration and financial burden. I highly recommend carefully reviewing your policy and exploring all available options before committing to Pets Plus Us.

Pets Best had our backs!

My beautiful girl had unknown health issues and Pets Best did not hesitate to reimburse me as we travelled to specialists and several vets for a plethora of tests. They were responsive to our claims and stood by our contract. I am thankful to have had them by our side. Our girl passed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge and they were immediate and kind in refunding the unused premium we paid. Thank you Pets Best, you made our search for an answer possible.

Very Pleased with Healthy Paws!

Healthy Paws is the first/ only pet insurance we have ever used, so I can’t compare to others but we have been very happy over the past 7 years. Our dog recently had ACL surgery and the day after I submitted the claim It was approved and we were reimbursed our 80% soon after. The response time is quite fast and correspondence when needed has been pleasant and efficient. Very helpful with coverage for medicines, illnesses and injuries.

5 Stars for Healthy Paws Insurance

.10 years ago we added a German Shepherd to our family. 8 years ago we added Healthy Paws Insurance and have NEVER looked back. They have walked beside us through multiple injuries, surgeries and now cancer. Excellent communication, advice and lighting speed reimbursements. We’re in our end game now and we’re confident Healthy Paws will see us through the final 16 months. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Healthy Paws.

Don't use Trupanion

I completely agree with the other 1-star reviews. This company is nearly impossible to reach. I've spent over an hour just waiting on hold to speak with someone. While they offer a callback option, it’s not much help—you’re still stuck waiting since you don’t want to miss their call and start the process all over again. To make matters worse, they mishandled my cancellation and only issued a partial refund. The good news? There are other companies that offer better service at a lower price. I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
