Healthy Paws | Pet Insurance Review

Edited to respond to HP Reply from 12/2/2025: Thanks for the reply, inviting me to call. I tried that already. Was put on hold to see if anything could be done. The associate came back on the line stating it was policy and I missed the deadline. Case closed. I didn't even get to speak to a manager of any kind, was simply told how they ruled my case. So how would another call - to the same generic customer service number - be any different? Especially since I was so angry, I cancelled all 4 policies. If HP genuinely cared about me as a client and the pets I insured, this should have been handled by a manager/given consideration the moment it happened. Instead I will be chasing the refund of my 4 cancelled policies. Original Review: After being a client for 7 yrs with 4 pet insurance policies, Healthy Paws denied my claim submission due to being 2 days late in uploading the documents. I understand the 90 day policy but hoped being a client who always paid on time would have earned us a little grace. They offer none. Extremely disappointed that in these difficult economic times no consideration is taken whatsoever. Approving the claim would have resulted in a reimbursement of around $135. Nothing to a large insurance company but everything to a person that rescues, TNR's, feeds dumped & feral animals and pays for medical care or euthanasia out of their own pocket. Shame on me for thinking they have the best interest of my pets at heart.

Fast response and reimbursement

Our cat needed an immediate dental surgery and it was hard to ignore as she was in a lot of pain. Healthy paws was great in covering the entire procedure!

I insured my cat Simba with Healthy Paws since he was 4 months old. When he developed IBS at age 1, everything fell apart. Healthy Paws refused to cover any of his prescription food — even though regular food triggers his symptoms and makes him sick. They also denied exam fees and lab work, claiming they were “routine,” even though every visit was for IBS flare-ups. For six years, they kept raising my premium while denying almost everything that mattered. I paid responsibly. I followed the policy. His vet documented medical necessity. And Healthy Paws still found excuses to deny care. I finally cancelled because the insurance became useless and expensive. I don’t expect anything from them now — I just want other pet owners to know how miserable this company is to deal with if your pet develops a chronic condition.

Wonderful company with good customer service
