Healthy Paws Pet Insurance

I wish I could give 0 stars. I’ve been a loyal Healthy Paws customer for 13 and a half years—since the day I brought my puppy Bellah home. Over the years, I’ve paid thousands of dollars into this policy with the trust and belief that when the time came—especially in her final stages of life—Healthy Paws would be there for us. Instead, with no prior notice, Bellah’s monthly premium has been raised from $250 to nearly $800. At nearly 14 years old, with limited time left, my dog is being priced out of her coverage when she needs it most. I’ve called. I’ve waited. I’ve been hung up on. I’ve sat on hold for hours, only to speak to customer service reps who are either powerless or unwilling to help. Not a single person has shown any compassion or even attempted to work with me. I wasn’t expecting a miracle—but I did expect humanity. Bellah is not just a pet—she is family. And now, in what should be her most peaceful time, she is being made into a financial burden. After over a decade of loyalty, this is the treatment we’ve received: silence, indifference, and a quadrupled premium. Healthy Paws, this is not how we honor the animals who have given us their unconditional love. This is not dignity. This is not care. This is not right.

Healthy Paws are thieves and crooks!

After 12 years with healthy paws, and minimal claims submitted, they increased my monthly rate by 360%. There is nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately, I have to cancel after 12 years because $450/ month is not worth it and I'd rather put that money into a savings in the event of an emergency.

Gotten Too Expensive and Difficult to Cancel

I've been with Healthy Paws for almost 10 years. Rate for my dog has now almost quadrupled and it is proving to be very difficult to cancel. I've emailed, left messages and when I finally got through, I'm now on hold with another party. They should make it easy to cancel on the site and you can't, so for this reason they've lost my trust.
