I wish MY insurance was this good

Healthy Paws is a lifesaver. Easy to deal with, super quick in paying claims, always clear about your coverage. The feeling of doing what's best for your pet's health without having to worry the cost will bankrupt you is priceless. I tell everyone with a new pet to get Healthy Paws - you will not regret it!

During emergencies like this…

It was great except during emergencies like this, the vet exam costs should be covered.

Good/Bad/Ugly

Healthy Paws Pet Insurance offers good service overall, but pet owners should be aware of the dramatic premium increases as pets get older. My golden retriever’s monthly premium jumped from $287 to $807 once he turned 13 years old, despite having no prior medical history. The coverage itself has been reliable, but the sudden and significant cost increase at this age was unexpected and difficult to manage. Pet owners considering Healthy Paws should keep this in mind when planning for long-term expenses.

Best Pet Insurance!

My pet has been insured with Healthy Paws for 11 years and I always have a great experience with them. Submitting claims is very quick and easy. They reimburse me within 2 to 3 days. They cover everything stated in my policy with no issues. I will always use Healthy Paws for my pets.

Premiums/Reimbursement/Deductible

I signed up with Healthy paws in 2012 for my two dogs with $250 deductible and 80% reimbursement. It was a great company until this year. I only have one dog now who is over 13 years old. My premiums have gone up alot in the last few years. My premiums change every December. In December 2023 it was 242.14. In December 2024 it went to $363.21. For December 2025 not only will it be raised to $411.54 but I am no longer eligible for the $250 deductible and 80% reimbursement. It will be $500 deductible with 70% reimbursement. Is this because I have an elderly dog? Earlier this year I had over 5 claims that did not process although they were submitted on the website which I had done for years. I had to speak with a Customer Liaison Manager to find the claims and process them. Soon after there were 3 more claims that were not processed and once again I had to speak to a Customer Liaison Manager to find the claims and process them. Healthy Paws also changed how payments are made. I always used a credit card. Now if you use a credit card you will be charged 2.99%. I asked if I could pay directly online through my bank as I do my other bills. I was told that was not an option. If I didn't want to pay a fee the premium would need to come out directly from my savings or checking account. Every time a company gets sold the customer is on the losing side. Don't sign up with Healthy Paws.
