Customer ReviewsforHealthy Paws Pet Insurance LLC

DO NOT ENROLL IN HEALTHY PAWS!!! You are better off investing or saving the money in a separate account for use in an emergency. We have a 9-year old HEALTHY golden retriever and have been paying the monthly premiums since she was a puppy. We filed one small $50 claim about 7 years ago that went to the deductible. Our monthly rates have increased as our dog aged, which I understand and expected. HOWEVER, they are now $119 a month (double from where we started) and we have NEVER received a payment from Healthy Paws as we have a healthy dog. When I called to ask for a reduction, the representative was very understanding but explained the rates are set only on age of the dog and cost of vet care in our state, and do not take into account the health of the dog or prior claims. So, even though we have no history of claims, our rates went up almost $30 this year. I canceled our policy and promised to post everywhere I could to warn others from giving Healthy Paws thousands of dollars over the lifespan of your dog. Save your money!!!

We truly appreciate you being part of the Healthy Paws family for the past 9 years. Were glad you didnt have to file many claimsthis means your ***** was healthy and accident free. As our customer care team member covered in your call, your premium amount increase is influenced by two primary factors, the increased age of your pet, and the cost of veterinary care services reflected in the claims paid in your specific state. Your premium has gone up because total claim payments to pet parents, among other things, have increased faster than premiums paid by all pet parents in your state. As a result, the premiums for insurance for all pets in your state needs to be increased so that your insurer can continue to provide this type of insurance. Premiums are determined based on the rates and rating rules filed with, and approved by, each states insurance regulator, which reflect the cost of treatment advances in veterinary medicine, and characteristics of the individual pet, in addition to the overall claims experience for the program within the region where the pet resides. We do our best to be transparent regarding annual premium increases by including this information on the "Frequently Asked Questions" page of our website. Were sorry to lose you as a policyholder and hope you and your pet stay well.

Buyer beware! They do not pay after paying 9 years.

We truly appreciate your being part of the Healthy paws family for the past 7 years. As per your plan we do require full medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims. Once full records are received (typically we ask for them when you file your first few claims) we will keep them on file for future claims processing and you will never have to submit full records again. In the future, if we do need clarification for a specific claim, we may simply request the date of service exam notes for that visit. Our customer care team covered this in more detail during your call back in the fall of 2023. Our team reached out on your behalf to your veterinarian for those records, but they were never received. Unfortunately, we could not process your pets claims without those records. Were sorry to lose you as a policyholder last year and hope you and your pets stay well.

I had three dogs insured by Healthy Paws. Over 7 years they have raised the rates from $47 to $109. Now too late to change insurance companies. One dog died a year ago due to an aggressive fast growing tumor. They put me through h*** at a time we were grieving always asking for more information and claiming they didnt receive documents. In the end I received approx $900 for a $2400 bill. Save your money, put what you would pay for premiums into a savings account . You will be further ahead and will save yourself a lot of grief!!

10 plus year member. Never filed a claim. Rates go up as your dog ages. Started at $30 now at $90+/month. Filed a claim a few months back for removal of a mass from his back leg. Provided the detailed invoice from the vet. . They said I needed to go to the vet and get all these additional vet notes *** other forms. Isnt that the insurance companys job? Why am I doing all the work and paying the premium. Then they said they needed all of bodies medical records which they have had for years. I provided documents again and they said there was a gap of some sort. None of this has anything to do with this isolated procedure as detailed in the invoice. We moved and we used some vets one time to keep dog current. There was no claim so I did not provide the invoices. They take your premium the overwhelm you with doc requests when you need to actually use them. Ive paid over $7k in premiums for a policy Ive never used and basically cant unless I harass my vet to provide additional forms that are not normal. Be smarter than I was and just put money away every month for your puppy and youll be set if/when something happens. I cancelled my policy. Wanted to cancel many times but kept sayingwell, Ive already paid so much and now my dog is old so might as well stick around. When I need to use my policy they made it so cumbersome that I just gave up and thats what they count on. The rates keep going up so might as well cut bait and set up a side account for any future vet bills.

We appreciate you being part of the Healthy Paws family for the past 10 years. As per the policy we do require medical records for all enrolled pets in order to process claims, including a copy of the required enrollment examination. Once full records are received (typically we ask for them when you file your first few claims) we will keep them on file for future claims processing and you will never have to submit full records again. In the future, if we do need clarification for a specific claim, we may simply request the date of service exam notes for that visit. We appreciate your efforts in providing medical records, but the majority of those were line item records, which are not actual medical records. One of our Customer Liaison Managers has emailed you with what is missing. They have also reached out on your behalf to the veterinarian hospital that has the needed information. Once received we can process your claim.

Please do not be tricked by this company for bringing you into their company at a reasonable rate, for them to have raised it each year between 15-20% and now in my dog's 6th year with them they raised it 40% over $300 in one year! When I asked why this was happening when my dog barely uses this insurance they stated it is in response to the rest of the dogs in the *********** and their increased needs. The price isn't even determined on MY dog's health background, it's based on the entire state? I'm extremely disappointed in this company and WOULD NOT recommend, especially where my dog now has a "re-existing condition" of allergies, so if we left Healthy Paws she would not be covered elsewhere, so we are stuck with this awful company.
