BUYER BEWARE - Coverage Drop at Age 7!
Just received my renewal after 10 years of covering our dog since he was a puppy. I've paid the expected rate increases each year. I've held a $250 deductible with 90% reimbursement coverage the entire time.
This year my coverage is being unilaterally changed from a $250 deductible to $500 and the company is reducing reimbursement to 70% and of course they are raising my overall premium despite a significant reduction in coverage.
After talking to customer service - it sounds like the company the company has made a broad decision that all 7+ year old dogs will no longer be eligible for the coverage limits. While young dogs can still sign up for increased coverage, there is a steep drop as your dog ages.
My original thinking was that you select your Pet Insurance while a puppy and keep it consistent. You don't want to have to switch when they get older in case of "preexisting conditions" which create challenges for new coverage. This change backs you into corner. BUYERS PLEASE PROCEED WITH EYES WIDE OPEN.
To Healthy Paws -- you used to be such a great and promising company in this space. This is so disappointing. To the leaders, based on my reading reviews, I'm not the first to have this experience. Your lack of honoring those who have invested in your past success - should have consequences.
