Online Easy!

I did everything online. It was so very easy and covered what I wanted for my pup. I haven't had to make a claim yet, happy day, but as a Veteran in the Soldier's Best Friend, program I'm sure my pup is in good care with this insurance and Riverside Veterinarian Clinic here in Tucson.

Fast, Reliable

Easy to make claim and load invoices, wait time isn’t that long. Direct deposits for reimbursement are easy. It makes having to deal with pet illnesses much easier.

Thousands spent with no cosideration. Price gouge for seinor dogs that have been with Healthy Paws for years.

Almost 5 years,I have been with this company since January 2019 . I had 2 dogs covered paying over $300 monthly. I never made a claim and never missed a payment before a debit card change in July. My payments were on auto pay. I called as soon as I discovered an issue less than 3 weeks from cancellation. They canceled my policy 30 days later with no reinstatement option. They couldn't care less about the fact that we have been long term clients with no claims and now my dogs are older and it will be hard to get reasonable coverage for them .They are supposed to care about pets , they are part of a non-profit , but they are really just concerned about their bottom line and no concern at all for the fact that my dogs are older now 12yrs and 10yrs and more likely to be having a claim in the later years of their life with absolutely no consideration for the fact that they have made thousands of dollars off of my dogs youth and health.The new quote is double the payment amount with 30-40 percent less coverage with 4x the deductible - Total RIP OFF from a company that has made thousands off of these two dogs with 0 claims for so many years. The reps got real rude and defensive when I let them know I wanted to escalate a complaint.They would not give me a viable method to file a formal complaint.He first gave a PO Box to mail a complaint. I asked for other options and whether somone could contact me . He sarcastically suggested BBB so I have complained there as well. Don't subscribe to Healthy paws. If you love your dogs, keep researching and get coverage with a company that loves pets too!!!

Othelia, We understand that there are times a policyholder's credit card used on the policy could be lost, compromised by fraud or that there may be a change in bank accounts, expiration date, etc. When an account goes into suspension due to the fact that we are unable to bill the card on file, we make every effort to keep policyholders up to date and informed about the status of their account. Multiple notices are sent via email, and a Notice of (upcoming) Cancellation is sent out via regular post as well. There is also an automatic grace period that is taken into account. However, if we do not hear back from the primary account holder (prior to the cancellation effective date) the account must be canceled. In order to be equitable to all enrolled pet parents, we cannot make any exceptions to this policy. Your email complaint has been provided to management and our customer service team member provided you with our address if you want to submit a written complaint.

Negative 5 stars - DO NOT RECOMMEND

the absolute worst insurance broker I have ever dealt with. Do NOT recommend them! Started our one and only claim after paying premiums they had no problem collecting for a year, in May 2023 for a basic vet visit, tests, anticiotics, and retest to confirm the issue was gone. It's Sept 5th, and we still don't have payment. It took them almost two months once they had documents from every vet our dog had ever seen since we had her to process our claim and approve it. Then they "apparently" entered banking information wrong so it didn't process, lied that they had submitted payment (but the bank confirmed they have never tried to submit) and promised they would deal with it last week, said it takes several days to process once it is submitted - which is a lie the bank confirmed this morning - as direct deposits when submitted are immediate, and the PPU team refuse to let you talk to anyone other than their entry-level customer service agents who can't help you at all, and when you ask to wait on hold until they resolve your issue, which would take 10-15 minutes, they hang up on you instead, and don't bother to call back. And their Ombudsman can't help you either. If you are bored and don't have a job already and want to work full time to get paid for a claim you carried insurance for, sign up. Otherwise - stay as far away from Pets Plus Us, Northbridge who is the underwriter, and the Ombudsman works for Independence Pet Group www.pethealthinc.com - worst waste of my time ever.

Awful!

I had insurance for years without a claim. Last month, my credit card on file had a new expiration date and did not go through. My policy was canceled. I was told they emailed me (I searched my email account and only an email from 2 years prior came up), and mailed me - which I did not receive, I called to get it reinstated and they won't do it. My dog is now 6 years old and they can't even create a new policy. Awful!

In order to provide our coverage with no annual or lifetime caps for all pets enrolled with us, we offer plans based on the pet’s information and claims payout in each state. Since your pet fell outside the enrollment guidelines in your state, we could not re-enroll your pet.

This insurance cheats you!

I have called and emailed over TWENTY TIMES, to get paid on a claim they say they approved M. They no longer respond to requests for assistance, causing an official complaint to the Department of Insurance. They actually keep saying my check is “in the mail”, them claim they cancelled it and sent another. And I’m enrolled in direct deposit! Why are they MAILING checks at all? Read the reviews—- they clearly suck. Do not buy HEALTHY PAWS.

We’re sorry for your frustration regarding your claim reimbursement. Your claim was paid with a check being mailed to you the middle of July. At the beginning of August, you started the process of enrolling into direct deposit, which was completed the middle of August. In the middle of August you notified us that the previously mentioned reimbursement check was not received. A case was made for our Payments Team and at the end of August, a stop payment was placed on the check and your reimbursement was provided by direct deposit.

First claim - smooth as butter

This was the first event in 4 years for my very active Terrier mix. I submitted my claim (online) the day I received my vet bill post-surgery. HealthyPaws was responsive, asked the vet directly for the medical history which was submitted promptly (thank you) and HealthyPaws direct-deposited the expected reimbursement within a couple of days to my bank account. Such peace of mind having this insurance to back up my decisions regarding medical care.

Claim for TPLO Surgery

Healthy Paws was prompt with the processing of my claim for my Yorkie's TPLO surgery. They also sent the refund check quickly and I had no problems with the claim at all.

Great partner

We have had Healthy Paws insurance since my German Shephard was 1 year old. He was healthy until a month ago (he just turned 12 years old). We found a tumor on his spleen, and because we have Healthy Paws Insurance we were able to make a quick decision on giving him an emergency surgery. Without the surgery, we will not know whether the tumor is cancerous or not. Even though his outcome is not what we hope for, giving him a chance and us extra few months with him are well worth it! The claim process is so easy and fast. It did not add any financial burden on us when we needed them the most. Highly recommend them.
