About Healthy Pets Insurance

Healthy Pets Insurance was founded in 1996 by Mark Effenberg, as Chief Executive of a pet-loving business insuring the UK's cats and dogs. Today, Healthy Pets, which was founded before Google, is an established participant in the £1 billion-plus UK pet insurance market. Based in Petersfield, Hampshire Decades on, the fact that we are a leader in online insurance and know how pet owners think gives Healthy Pets Insurance, as of 2017 part of The Ardonagh Group of companies, a distinct advantage. We talk cats and dogs, and we truly understand that pets really are members of the family. Being internet-based with a team of understanding pet specialists available over the phone, means we can offer high-quality cover at more than competitive prices. Because we are efficient, agile and specialist, and we know pets and their needs from our own experience, Healthy Pets has one of the highest renewal rates in the pet insurance industry because, in our view, whether it's the opening contact or dealing with a complex claim, we know how important it is not just to hear our customers, but to listen to every woof and meow. Mark has always been a dog owner, and it was his experiences as a "pet parent" back in the mid-1990s that caused him to establish Healthy Pets Insurance - for the simple reason that he could not find an insurer at the time who truly understood the bond between a dog and its owner, and, speaking to friends, he found it was much the case with cats too.

Our renewal this year jumped up £300 as our poor dog had a cancerous lump. Not the dogs fault. Healthy pets gained quite alot from this

UPDATE: 15.08.2023: Healthy Pets, thank you for reaching out. You have referenced the change in premium, and the unilateral introduction of co-insurance to keep premiums down. Given the 30%+ increase (WITH) I would hate to imagine how much your revised premium might have been without 😳. For the record (and I’ve said this direct to you already): - alternative well known provider giving 33% higher cover - about 33% cheaper than you - included foc 24/7 vet health helpline - no co-insurance Admittedly, ‘existing conditions’ not covered. Will have to take that risk. *** Happy to keep further communications ‘offline’ *** You are now SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than other well known brands, and they DO NOT have co-insurance. CO-INSURANCE = CHANGE COMPANY! For me, it’s that simple. And I would encourage anyone else having this imposed to consider alternatives before deciding to accept this. ORIGINAL 12.08.2023 REVIEW: Premium has gone up over 30% since last year (have made no claims in that year); they have added a 'co-insurance' of 15% to any claim for the next year (which will increase to 20% from the year after); and they have increased the excess from £99 to £125. Not for me! Goodbye Healthy Pets. I'd used them for several years, renewing on demand each year, but this time .... nope, not having it! *** Try comparison sites, there are still a number of household name companies offering pet insurance without co-insurance *** Personally, setting aside the emotional upset of an unwell pet, financially I see pet insurance as 'disaster recovery', I would not claim for the smaller stuff (due to the impact on my next premium renewal), but if/when there is something significant I don't hesitate to claim. If the claim were, say, £4000, they would expect me to shell out £925 (£4000 x 20%, plus £125). In that scenario, what's the point of having insurance? Yes it would save me some money ... but compared to an insurer (with a cheaper premium, but similar excess) I'd still be £800 better off. So why choose Healthy Pets? Exactly ... vote with your keyboard folks, and go elsewhere, I urge you.

Price went up a lot this year, with excess increased and co-insurance introduced. When I queried the rise, the agent suggested cancelling and taking out a new policy. This halved the increase in the premium. Seems crazy!

It's been nearly a month since I received an email saying that Healthy Pets would aim to assess my claim within 10 days. I've called once, was advised 20 days, and I've emailed twice with no response. No excuse for poor communication so if you want a company that deals with claims within their own set timeframes then look elsewhere.

Very compassionate lady, I had to advise the untimely death of my cat and register a new cat. She dealt with the whole thing personally. Thank you

Unfortunately my original policy lapsed and was cancelled under their terms and agreement. Fair enough but I wanted to stay with them so I took out another one with them for the same cat, Smudge. The lady I spoke to was incredibly helpful and Smudge has a new policy on the same terms as the other one but a bit cheaper! (Not that the previous one was expensive by any stretch!) Questions I had about insuring our other two cats were answered and I was well pleased. So was Smudge when I told her she was insured again! :) Thank you Healthy Pets!
