Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

They are quick to review and process your claim. They always ask how your pet is doing! All around great insurance! I would recommend to anyone.

I have been paying for Healthy Paws pet insurance for 10 years for 2 dogs. Now that my dogs are older they raised my premium almost to $7000.00 for the year. The reason that Healthy Paws gave me was that my dogs are older now. Isn't that why you start paying pet insurance when your dogs are younger so that when they need it when they get older it is available to you at a reasonable price? It is a scam! You are better off putting money away in an account for your pets and do not pay for pet insurance.

I insured my dog when he was only a few months old in 2012 at a monthly premium of $30.21. With annual increases as much as 36.25% my new monthly premium for 2025 is now $480.76. I had to let the policy expire. I’m retired, living on Social Security, and that’s more than two and a half times my monthly Medicare Premium. On top of that, regarding on my last two claims, they denied medications consistently covered in the past. They’re making up the rules as they go.

I’ve been a loyal Healthy Paws customer for 13 and a half years—since the day I brought my puppy Bellah home. Over the years, I’ve paid thousands of dollars into this policy with the trust and belief that when the time came—especially in her final stages of life—Healthy Paws would be there for us. Instead, with no prior notice, Bellah’s monthly premium has been raised from $250 to nearly $800. At nearly 14 years old, with limited time left, my dog is being priced out of her coverage when she needs it most. I’ve called. I’ve waited. I’ve been hung up on. I’ve sat on hold for hours, only to speak to customer service reps who are either powerless or unwilling to help. Not a single person has shown any compassion or even attempted to work with me. I wasn’t expecting a miracle—but I did expect humanity. Bellah is not just a pet—she is family. And now, in what should be her most peaceful time, she is being made into a financial burden. After over a decade of loyalty, this is the treatment we’ve received: silence, indifference, and a quadrupled premium. Healthy Paws, this is not how we honor the animals who have given us their unconditional love. This is not dignity. This is not care. This is not right.

I was paying $178.47 a month for my 11 year old Aussie. This month, the "new" monthly amount is $476.95. That is a MONTHLY increase amount of $298.48. That is CRIMINAL. I confirmed when I signed up that they only go up a pro-rated amount, which depends on what their overall costs have been for the year, and adjust accordingly. This company is sickening.
