Pet Insurance

Health cover for your pets' veterinary needs.

Pet insurance helps cover the cost of veterinary bills when your pet gets sick or injured. In Australia, pet insurance typically reimburses a large percentage (like 50% to 80%) of eligible vet expenses for dogs or cats, after you pay an excess. It can cover accidents (like broken bones from a fall) and illnesses (from common illnesses to chronic conditions), and some policies offer optional routine care cover for things like vaccinations or dental cleaning. With pet insurance, you won't have to hesitate to get the best care for your furry family members due to cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most pet insurance in Australia covers cats and dogs, as they are the most common pets with insurance needs. Coverage for other pets (like birds or rabbits) is less common but some specialized providers might offer it. Typically, dogs and cats are the primary focus of pet insurance policies.

Routine or preventative care (vaccinations, deworming, teeth cleaning, etc.) is usually not covered by default in accident/illness policies. However, many insurers offer an optional routine care add-on (sometimes called wellness cover) that will pay a set amount toward things like vaccinations or check-ups. Adding this increases the premium slightly.

No, pet insurance generally does not cover pre-existing conditions – any illness or injury that showed signs or was diagnosed before you took out the policy (or during the waiting period) won't be covered. It's best to insure pets while they're young and healthy to avoid exclusions. Always check the policy's definition of pre-existing conditions.

Yes, policies usually have waiting periods. A common setup is no waiting period for accidents (coverage starts immediately or after a few days), a 30-day waiting period for illnesses, and often longer (6-12 months) for specific conditions like cruciate ligament issues. This means if your pet shows signs of an illness during the waiting period, that condition won't be covered.

Typically, yes. Most pet insurance allows you to use any licensed veterinarian or animal hospital in Australia. You usually pay the vet bill and then submit a claim to your insurer for reimbursement. Some newer policies or providers might pay vets directly, but generally you have freedom to choose your vet.
