Healthy paws insurance has been our best investment yet! We have had a rough couple weeks with our pup with some unexpected emergencies. Our insurance has been our saving grace. I have been able to provide my pet with the very expensive care he needs because I know that our insurance will help us take care or him. Their quick turn around is outstanding! I truly refer everyone I know with a pet to healthy paws insurance!
I just want to say thank to Healthy Paws Pet insurance . I have been with Health Paws for many years I have made many claims but never anything I would call big until this year when Jaxx’s was diagnosed with cancer. Without insurance we would not have been able to afford treatment and he would already be gone but because we have great insurance with Healthy Paws Jaxx’s is still here and is have more good days . Thank you again ❤️
Healthy Paws was very responsive, professional and helpful in settling the bill for a recent oral mass removal procedure for my 4 year old Border Collie.
I submitted 3 receipts, one from my regular vet and two from the surgeon who performed my dog’s specialist consultation & pre-op & biopsy (benign!!) I waited for the biopsy results (would she need further treatment?) before submitting the claim online. I immediately got a response that my claims had been received. Within a week I received 3 payment checks. So simple and no back and forth needing more info from me or my vets. Thank you Healthy Paws for making the process so easy :)
I insured both our dogs when they were puppies: one in 2014 and the other in 2016. The premiums began at a reasonable amount--our first dog started with a $31.96 monthly premium and that was with a $250 annual deductible and 90% reimbursement level. Our second dog started with a $39.03 monthly premium, a $100 annual deductible, and a 90% reimbursement level. I was happy to pay those amounts for the peace of mind and the fantastic coverage. We've had steady, but manageable rate increases every year. Fast forward to the last several years. For the policy period beginning in December, 2024, I had to increase both the dogs' deductibles to $500 in order to keep the monthly premiums at a somewhat manageable level. For the policy period beginning December, 2025, we were notified that our reimbursement level would be automatically reduced to 70% from the previous 90%. Apparently Healthy Paws implemented this age-based change last year. Our monthly premiums for this greatly reduced coverage are now $238.59 for our first dog and $200.28 for our second dog. Ouch. Just to put this in perspective, we have to pay out $500 for covered services for each dog before the policy begins to cover anything at all, and then that is only reimbursed at 70%. Will Healthy Paws drop our reimbursement percentage even further when future renewal anniversaries roll around? Who knows? The current monthly premium represents a whopping 646.527% increase from the original premium for our first dog and a 413.144% increase from the original premium for my second dog! During 2025, I had to appeal two denied claims that were for covered services. The denials were eventually reversed, but it was a lot of hassle to go through and a long delay for claims that should have been initially approved. I should add that I am grateful for coverage we've received for some expensive health issues through the years. For example, a splenectomy and several days in the vet hospital for one dog resulted in a bill that was over $9000. Last year, that same dog had surgery to remove some liver masses. But, I may no longer be able to afford the insurance after this year--especially considering the higher deductibles and lower reimbursement levels. Since my dogs at this stage in their lives both have what would be considered preexisting conditions by another insurer, shopping for a more affordable policy elsewhere isn't an option. We're between a rock and a hard place. To sum up: when we signed up for Healthy Paws, it offered great coverage at an affordable price. In the last few years, our rates have skyrocketed and our coverage has been reduced. I can no longer recommend Healthy Paws.
