Used to be great. Now... stay away!
For the first few years, HealthPaws was amazing. They had reasonable rates and paid every claim we submitted. In the last year, that all changed. It started with a 36% rate hike that came overnight. When I questioned that I was told that it was a one time thing because they had had so many large claims and were also calculating premiums differently now (taking dog's age into account). I was also told that I shouldn't expect another similar rate hike. Then I submitted a claim that they wrongfully denied. It took me talking to 3 different people over multiple weeks to get that resolved, and then they didn't pay for another month. The final straw was when they hiked my rates another 31% AFTER TELLING ME THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN! When I contacted them about it they gave me the exact same party line that they gave last year and refused to answer many of the questions I asked nor to give any assurance they wouldn't just keep hiking my rates year after year.
If you're looking for a reliable insurer, I strongly urge you to look at some of their competitors. Otherwise you may find youself paying hundreds more per year than you thought you were signing up for.
