Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Our recent trip to the emergency vet was scary, stressful, and expensive. Thankfully, our 11-year old Bichon was given the excellent care that she required and knowing that we had Healthy Paws insurance for her gave us the reassurance to go ahead with the treatment needed to bring her home. Submitting our receipts couldn't be easier, and our reimbursement arrived within a week of her ordeal. I would recommend Healthy Paws for any pet parent that is looking for peace of mind and the ability to offer quality care for their beloved pet.

I’ve been a Healthy Paws customer since January 2022. For three consecutive years (2022–2024), I submitted my claims annually and every single one was approved. This was my established, accepted practice, and it aligned with the policy language at the time I enrolled (claims allowed within the policy period). In 2025, multiple claims were suddenly denied because they were not submitted within 90 days of treatment. This was the first time I ever heard of a 90-day rule. When I contacted customer support, I was told the policy had “always” been that way — which directly contradicts both my prior approved claims and reports from other Healthy Paws customers who still have their original contracts stating claims could be filed within the policy year. Most concerning: I was never clearly notified of this change. No email No prominent notice Only a buried message in the online portal, which I was never alerted to At the same time, my premium nearly doubled, my deductible increased from $250 to $500, and my reimbursement dropped from 80% to 70%. So I’m paying significantly more for significantly less coverage — plus stricter claim rules that were not properly disclosed. This feels like a classic bait-and-switch. If you’re considering Healthy Paws, be extremely careful: policies can change quietly, past claim approvals do not protect you, and long-time customers can still be blindsided. I’m sharing this so others can make an informed decision — I wish I had known.

Our pet, Charli, suffered a ruptured disc in her back about 7 months ago. Following surgery, we filed a claim with Healthy Paws for the procedure and all that was involved with that, including follow up physical therapy. Healthy Paws was fast and fair in their evaluation of our claims and we were reimbursed in a very timely manner. Since then, Charli, has suffered what appears to be a auto-immune disease. The doctor is still conducted tests and evaluations attempting to pinpoint exactly what Charli is suffering from. Again, we filed claims (and still are as the treatment is ongoing) with Healthy Paws. Again, Healthy Paws was fast and fair in their evaluation of our claims and we were reimbursed in a very timely manner. I only wish other insurance companies I have dealt with were as fast, fair, and proficient as Healthy Paws.

You are making too many mistakes which is not only costing your customer money, but wasting our time. Your hold times are too long.

HealthyPaws increased my 10 year old Corgi's pet insurance policy more than 150% ($100 a month to $225 a month) when he had no new conditions. I called to figure out what was going on and they told me it was "primarily due to California Claims Experience that was based on how many California petowners have made claims in the state". How does that affect my individual pet? This is a scammy and predatory company now that it's been taken over and even the customer service associate I talked to had no remorse or full explanation. They were simply reading a script off a page and could not give me more details. Honest petowners, beware!
