Nightmare claim process

We adopted a 13 month old cat from a rescue shelter in Oct 2025, established a vet account with an initial exam and then purchased insurance from Spot. In late Nov 2025 we had a return visit to the vet for a minor medical issue. We submitted an online claim, mainly to see how the process worked since the dollar amount was only $81. Well, weeks later we receive an email stating that health records from 1/1/2024 are required. We had sent all records available already during the claim process, and being a rescue, the oldest records were from Sept 2025 when the cat was processed by the rescue center. I called the Spot help line trying to explain that there are no health records prior to being rescued. I was assured that this information would be passed on and the claim would be processed. Several days later we get another email reiterating the requirement for health records from 1/1/2024 to be supplied or the claim would be denied. At this point we cancelled the policy. If health history is required for the first claim, the information required should be part of the policy application not months after paying and discovering that Spot does not know how to process a first claim for a rescue with limited health history.

The whole process was very easy to do online. We received a very quick response and were happy with our reimbursement. What more could you ask from an insurance company?

Don't insure with Healthy Paws. Years later, you'll be sad.

I've been a loyal customer of Healthy Paws Pet Insurance since 2016. No more happy customer now. I can no longer recommend them. And, I'm sorry for having recommended this company through the years. My dog had a yeast infection in her ears and was denied coverage because she had an ear infection of MRSA eight years ago when I first got her. She was not covered because it happened during the wait period. I understood that. At that time (2016), I asked if she would be covered in the future if it wasn't MRSA and if it was many years later. I was told that they would cover it. Well, they lied! She recently had a yeast overgrowth in her ears after eight years that was not MRSA, but they still denied covering it as though it was a pre-existing condition. Their insurance rates are increasing exponentially. Their coverage is less available along with higher premiums, higher deductibles, and higher costs with a smaller percentage covered. I've read that this is happening to so many customers who have faithfully paid thousands in premiums like I have, but are now treated poorly after many years. It is just not right. And, what makes it worse, we are trapped because our pets now have pre-existing conditions.
