Hi does anyone have experience with healthy pets dog insurance?

I'd avoid. Relatively unknown so unlikely your vet will be happy to claim directly meaning you would need to pay all vet bills upfront and claim back. Looks like their lifetime policy only covers upto 4k a year which honestly is inadequate.

Thanks @Misspotterer.
It’s a mine field . Any recommendations?

Petplan is the gold standard but if you need something a bit cheaper, a relative has had a surprisingly excellent experience with Tesco.

I found ManyPets to be really good, they paid several small claims very quickly. Their premiums did go up a lot though, so I have switched to Tesco who I have a few other insurances with and good experience. I haven't made any claims but the cover is good at a reasonable price.

Thanks @ChunkingDreamer
both petplan and Tesco want £130 a month 😱. That’s for £7000 worth of cover .

Slight necropost here sorry.

But anyway, I felt the need to answer re Healthy-Pets just in case anyone else falls into their trap.
They are a despicable company. Apparently they are well known for it.
Cheapish premiums to suck you in. But when you claim, they will make something up to reduce the payout into oblivion.
They are pretending I misrepresented his breed. But it is clear from the comparison site that formed the contract on the Healthy-Pets site, that I did not misrepresent in any way. My vets support me in this.

Social media and reviews.io share my bad experiences.
(Trustpilot seems to have a suspicious amount of positive reviews along with the negative ones. I know trustpilot also remove negative reviews because they basically work for their clients, not the public)

Anyway, I will be reporting them to the regulator as they are clearly guilty of repeated misconduct. I hope the individuals behind their frauds against customers are barred from the industry.

Can anyone recommend a reputable insurer with some integrity instead?

I used them and they were brilliant, paid out and very good to deal with on the phone.
