Astronomical increase in premium

We have had Healthy Paws insurance for our pooch for more than 8 years. Lately the premiums have increased astronomically year to year, with the most recent one going form $141 a month to over $450. This is completely ridiculous. We have had no issues with payment of claims and they say the increase isn't related to claims filed - but they make it impossible to continue coverage with them. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

We had all claims for our 2 pups…

We had all claims for our 2 pups denied. It's a tribunal every time your puppy catches a cold and you want to get it covered - nothing like human medical insurance at all. I'd look for another option. This company has a lot of negative reviews, especially in recent years, and I wish that I had done my homework before signing up with them....Responding to their reply, the appointments were not all during the waiting period though their reason for rejecting was always "waiting period" in writing but if you called they gave a different answer. You can't win with this group- try somewhere else.

My pup's surgery and claim process

My dog Tami had to have surgery for a worrisome condition. Luckily, it was successful, though it would have been difficult to afford it without the insurance from Healthy Paws. Like all my previous experience with Healthy Paws, the claim was settled promptly and met all of my expectations for coverage. It was a happy surprise when the folks at Healthy Paws emailed me to check on her and wish her well. In terms of the processing, I wish I could have Healthy Paws for my own insurance--so much better than any human insurance I have ever had. I submitted the claim and within a couple of days it was processed and I had my payments deposited directly into my account. There are never any lost claims or delays.

Uses any excuse not to pay.

We have our Shelty insured for over a year. Aside from not paying for exams we were denied significant expenses tracking down a shoulder problem. They denied it as pre-existing, but that is not so. Perhaps, they mean pre-existing to making the claim. I think these folks are terrible, go anywhere else.
