Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I’ve had Healthy Paws Pet Insurance since 2016 for my two cats, now ages 11 and 12. In July 2025, they notified me that I was receiving a 300% premium increase—from $86 to $257/month—despite minimal claims (not a single one paid out) and no chronic health issues at the time of the notification. When asked, Healthy Paws refused to explain how the increase was calculated, ignored their own rate filing, and later reduced my coverage from 80% reimbursement and $500 deductible to 60%/$1,000 without warning or approval. Very misleading and unfair for a plan advertised as covering pets for life. I have filed a complaint with the Department of Insurance and cancelled my plan. Save yourself the money - don't count on this plan to cover your aging pets.

I have had this insurance company for my 12 year old dog since she was 10 months old. I have had no claims or missed payments(132 of them). My payments were $69/month, then $139/month and this month $373!. Beware when you will probably need the insurance they are going to price you out of keeping it. It's cheaper to pay yourself since I'm sure they won't pay the whole bill anyway.

My Healthy Paws premium jumped from $113/month with a $100 deductible and 90% coverage to $260/month with a $1,000 deductible and only 60% coverage. I’ve been with them for 10 years—since my dog was a puppy—and this feels like a gut punch. A 150% increase in one month is outrageous and borderline unethical. I’ll be sharing this experience across every platform available.

Very very difficult to cancel a policy. Information on website is incorrect about doing so. Customer service not helpful.

Insured my dog 7 years ago with no problems and no preexisting conditions (which was their criteria). Have been paying my premium on time (almost $20,000 in the past 7 years). My dog is 16 years old, very healthy, for the first time took him to the ER for vomiting and dehydration. Filed a claim and Healthy paw denied my claim stating he has preexisting condition. It is untrue. They did not take the time to review the bill and trying very hard to deny any payments. This is the first time I am filing a claim for $2,300 (the cost of ER) and they are not paying. I have canceled my insurance with them. what is the point of having insurance? My dog was in good health up until last week, got the insurance for precaution as he is aging.
