Healthy Paws just raised our pet insurance to an extra $100 a month out of no where! Has anyone else gotten a huge rate hike like this from them? This is Absolutely ridiculous.

My Aetna plan will be removing Miebo from coverage in the new plan year effective 7/1/25. This drug is the only FDA approved drug proven to treat the evaporative component of dry eye disease. There recommending I switch to Restasis , which is a good drug, but only treats the production of tears and not evaporation. Since there is no generic and no FDA approved alternative , are there any legal actions I can consider, or the plan can just do whatever they want and I’ll need to find another company that will cover the plan. The drug is about $800 a month, and while I can make it work, I would prefer for it to be paid for. I could also attempt to back door the European Version EVOTEARS from Germany for $20 a bottle.

I have a 9 y/o Bengal male who had a bout of diagnosed stress colitis three days after I took him from his long-term family and before he was covered. Now, he has diagnosed pancreatitis, which is a totally different thing, of course. However, apparently because they have similar symptoms, the stress colitis is being treated as a "pre-existing condition" for the pancreatitis by Spot. This is ludicrous, and my vet agrees. I'm going to challenge it. Does anyone have any tips about the challenge and/or the paperwork I have to submit? Has anyone successfully challenged Spot or another pet insurance? If the challenge doesn't go through, then I'm canceling Spot and just going to pay whatever I have to pay instead of giving them money each month. If they can say something is pre-existing simply because two diagnoses share symptoms, then I don't trust that I'll ever see any reimbursement of costs at all. What if my cat gets diagnosed stomach cancer, which can cause symptoms similar to stress colitis and pancreatitis? Does that mean then they won't cover it? Seems like they at least have that prerogative to do so. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have been waiting for payment for my cat's surgery. I have received communication from the company stating theinformation has bee submitted for approval since 09/25/2025. All information was sent. They have my phone number, email address and still no other contac5.

Took the insurance for a test drive with my claim. Not sure at this time, but: -$48.50 x 12 = $582 per year without meds -$877.46 Deductible +$1033+ for the claims including meds not covered $1,459.46 Total out by customer. I could be off by change or dollar, but that's the picture I was looking at. However, they were kind and courteous.

Although I’m happy you’re covered something in this time. I really could’ve used coverage for everything without these crazy deductibles and fees unfortunately he’s not gonna make it.

Don't be deceived by the tons of fake "invited" reviews the company is producing in order to counter the very real and legitimate continuing trend of negative reviews. Healthy Paws has completely gone down the toilet and is utter garbage now. I had them for my previous dog over a decade, until she passed away a few years ago and they were very good. Took care of everything with only minor issues. So, when I got a new dog, I obtained a new policy with them without question. BIG mistake. Should have read the reviews on places like Reddit and here to see what a trash heap they have become. Healthy Paws of old is gone, and the new Healthy Paws is about massive policy increases and endless garbage BS excuses to not pay claims. Refused to pay my 4 digit medical bill for a procedure I approved because I was confident they would pay, but they refused. Communication is horrible, denials are just arbitrary, appeals non existent, phone support is off shored trash where they just read a script, customers regularly document insane premium increases of 100s of % from their starting point. Stay FAR away from this dumpster fire of a company and do not let them cheat and deceive you with their sudden flood of "positive" reviews they purchased with "invited" positive feedback.

I guess this leading statement in the comments box, "What went wrong this time?", explains their work. My dog is experiencing something to cause him to vomit and I've had numerous tests done on him to see what might be the cause. Because a vet visit 11 & 1/2 months ago mentioned vomiting, Embrace stated this is a preexisting condition. Vomiting? Really? Who has a dog who didn't. My case is extreme this time, but Embrace refused to reimburse me a dime on anything. They said he would be covered for vomiting in the future if he has no further case of it for 12 months. I guess I missed the window of opportunity by half a month.

For some reason my email is now not associated with an account after I paid 469$ for an annual membership. Now have to go through the hassle of figuring out how to fix it so i can even put in a claim.

you take too long to review your claims, you have more than doubled your cost in less than 3 years.
