Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

I’ve been a Healthy Paws customer since 2018, and my experience has gone from acceptable to completely unacceptable. When I signed up, I paid $51.61/month for 80% coverage with a $250 deductible. Over the years, Healthy Paws raised my premium annually even though I rarely filed claims (maybe two in my 8 years and one was denied). I stayed loyal anyway. In 2023 the price hiked up to $72 so I lowered my coverage to 70% reimbursement and a $500 deductible to bring it back down to $54.57. Last year the cost of this coverage was increased to $82.47 then $84.94 in July after they added a 2.99% utilization fee. Despite all this, I’ve stayed loyal up until this year when the cost was raised to $140.16/month which is nearly triple what I originally paid for significantly less protection. This isn’t inflation, it’s exploitation of longtime customers who are emotionally invested in their pets and hesitant to switch. If you’re considering Healthy Paws, don't! Be aware loyalty is not rewarded, and long-term customers are priced out.

My Dog had liver surgery which had complications. He was discharged and then readmitted to the Animal Hospital for 5 days. The final bill was a fortune ($20K +) and not an amount that most people just have sitting around. I submitted 2 claims to Healthy Paws via their app and both were processed and paid out within a week. The reimbursement payout was exactly as laid out in my specific policy (90% reimbursement after deductible). I don’t know what we would have done had we not had pet insurance. I can’t imagine having to make a decision about getting your pet care based on cost. Healthy Paws really came through for us.

Cladda Veterinary Emergency Team in Fredericksburg, Va was amazing during a recent emergency visit that turned into a hospitalization. Ruby my 9.5 yr old Frenchie suddenly got very sick with something attacking her liver. She was quickly taken back and testing and treatment started immediately. They even allowed me to go into the back for goodnight hugs and kisses. I was updated often and they sent me adorable photos of her. They kept in communication with Ruby's primary vet and even had the ultrasound doc come in on an unscheduled day to scan her. I found out about this place when my boyfriends dog was very sick and was turned away by multiple vet hospitals. I would highly recommended this emergency hospital if you want quick response time for your sick or injured animal. Ruby received wonderful care and is doing amazing well!

So easy to use!

Fantastic turnaround time and reimbursement! Thanks
