Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

We've been using Healthy Paws since our dog Randle turned 7, he's now 11. We rarely needed to claim with them as he was a healthy dog. In the last year he started to need various treatments for arthritis, then 3 weeks ago he ended up in the local specialist hospital and was diagnosed with cancer. Without the support of Healthy Paws we couldn't have afforded the care he needs and that will hopefully see him on the mend soon. They have covered his medication, his access to more alternative treatments like laser and his hospital stay. Claims are paid quickly and customer service are always swift to respond. Can't recommend them enough

When I noticed blood in my dog's urine a couple months ago, I assumed it was a UTI. We've since learned it's bladder cancer, and we initially expected the worst. Fortunately, he is in the very rare portion of dogs with bladder cancer whose primary tumor was in an operable location. It has been such a blessing to be able to capitalize on his relative luck with high-quality veterinary treatment and have the potential to keep him with us for years instead of the months we were initially told to expect! We're very grateful to have him insured with Healthy Paws. The reimbursement process has been so easy (and quick!), and it has been a huge relief to be able to direct my focus and worry to his health rather than the treatment expenses.

Our three year old, Gertie, a beautiful half lab/half golden, recently, and unfortunately, tore her CCL. She was holding her back right leg up most of the time and in pain when on all fours. After X-Rays and a consultation with an animal hospital, the TPLO procedure was recommended. She did well with the surgery and is in her recovery phase which will take 12 weeks plus. Although we worried about her mobility and the thought of our fur baby having surgery, our minds were eased by the efficient and quick processing of her claim forms through Healthy Paws. It took the financial burden off of our worries so we can focus on her healing and recovery. So happy that we have purchased pet insurance through Healthy Paws to help us through. And they even emailed to see how she is doing! Love our Healthy Paws friends and appreciate their quick response. Thank you so much!

If I were leaving this review a couple of years ago after several very positive claim experiences (unlike other reviews here I found the claims process to be quite straightforward and generous), it would be 5s across the board. However, this company has raised our premium exactly 50% in each of the past 3 years, for a currently monthly rate of $273.10. They clearly apply astronomical rate increases as a pet becomes "senior", knowing full well there are no other options and putting owners in an impossible situation due to age and pre-existing conditions. Rate increases are inevitable in this corrupt system, but this practice is truly predatory. RUN AWAY from Health Paws Pet Insurance.
