Healthy Paws Massive Rate Increase

Recommended Posts

It's that time again. Just got my rate increase. 50%, from $147 to $221, an increase of $75/mo. This is criminal. I'm going to reach out to someone at the state level about this. Does anyone know the best agency to contact? Or should I try government representatives? 

In the meantime, I'm stuck with them since Violet is 12 and Skye is 10, but I can sure as heck guarantee I will never ensure another dog with this company again. I'm so disgusted as I promoted this company to friends and clients for years.

I've had healthy paws for probably about 10 years.  I've seen bigger increases as my Greyhounds get older.  I recently took in a new 8 year old and the rate for him was going to be crazy hight, have a $A500 deductible, and only cover at 50%.  I opted not to insure him because of the rotten deal offered.  Has anyone had any lucky with other pet insurance covering older dogs, especially when they would be new on a policy?

I must be the outlier here. We have had HP for about 5 years. Our policy for Sweep started at about $43 when she was 7 and just jumped from $73 to $93 with last month's annual increase. Not insignificant but nothing like what others are describing, and we've certainly submitted a ton of claims this year (though never much before this year). They've always processed the reimbursement really quickly too. So I don't know whether I'd recommend them or not based on all I have read here vs. my own experience. I'm sorry for those of you getting walloped by them.
