Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I've been insured with Healthy Paws since getting my first dog in 2017. Healthy Paws is great to deal with and they make filing claims very easy. They have excellent communication and keep customers updated with their claims process. Payments also arrive quickly. I'm very pleased with the company and recommend it to anyone!

Have been a customer for 10 years with our dog. While the claims process has been fine over the years, slowly but surely they’ve raised premiums and reduced coverage. Now, they announced changes that more than double the monthly premium. So at 110+/month and minimum deductible of $750, I need to pay more than $2000 in a year before I am able to only be reimbursed 50%. Not sure how that is worth it for most people with relatively healthy dogs like ours. I won’t be returning as a customer in the future given their poor response to these changes when I called and messaged for an explanation, won’t recommend them.

BEWARE OF HEALTHY PAWS! After 9 years of loyalty and paying their ever escalating premiums, they decided with a 60 days notice stating 8/1/25 ALL dogs 7 years plus received a 40% reduction in coverage, my deductible went from $100 to $1,000. Basically it is now health catastrophe insurance. They do not cover wellness Had I had known this I would’ve started my puppy with another insurance company that’s more solid like Embrace. I realize these newer companies start you off on a low premium with great deductibles and coverage and then all of a sudden either drop you totally or drastically reduce the benefits, upping the premiums and upping the deductible by 1000%. Now I can’t switch him because he has pre-existing conditions so I’m stuck with a high premium $1000 deductible and a 50% coverage. Go on Reddit, FB etc. and you see people’s reviews. This new policy just happened August 2025. BEWARE OF HEALTHY PAWS

It's disgusting to see all the responses from Healthy Paws in this thread, acting like they care and that their insane and constant rate increases are reasonable and not based on age. Like many others, they told me this lie years ago when I asked about their rate increases. At the time it wouldn't have been too late for me to find a decent pet insurance company. Last year when my dog turned 10 they went up to $250/month. This year they want $364. They've paid out a total of $250 for medical treatment of my dog when she was a puppy. Don't buy insurance from this company. I really wish I'd just put the over $20,000 they've charged for 1 dog aside, just in case.

We insured our dog with Healthy Paws the day we brought him home in 2015. We’ve stayed loyal for ten years, paying every single month, because we wanted peace of mind if he ever got sick. When we enrolled, our premium was $33/month. It’s been raised year after year — and we accepted that, because pets get older. But today, after a decade of loyalty and barely $1,000 reimbursed total, our premium is being raised to $352/month. That’s more than 10x what we started at. 1000% increase. Here’s the part that feels truly cruel: this notice arrived immediately after we submitted a claim for testing on a newly diagnosed heart condition. For years, while our dog was healthy, we paid faithfully with almost no return. The moment he needs care? The policy becomes unaffordable. This is not insurance — it’s a bait-and-switch. They happily take your money while your pet is young, and once your dog ages or develops an issue, they jack up your rate so high that you’re forced to drop coverage. It’s predatory and it preys on families who love their animals. We’ve been loyal customers for 10 years. To be treated this way, at the exact moment our dog actually needs help, is shameful. If you’re considering this company, please think twice. Don’t make the mistake we did.
