Pet Insurance

Accident and illness cover for veterinary bills that arrive without warning.

What this cover does

Veterinary medicine now offers much of what human medicine does, at prices that follow. Pet cover reimburses a share of eligible treatment so the clinical decision is not driven by what you have in the bank that week.

Typically included

  • Accidents, injuries and emergency treatment
  • Illness including chronic and hereditary conditions, subject to the plan
  • Diagnostics — imaging, bloodwork and laboratory
  • Surgery, hospitalisation and prescribed medication
  • Specialist referral and emergency clinic visits

Common add-ons

  • Wellness and routine-care add-ons for vaccinations and dental
  • Behavioural therapy
  • Alternative therapies including physiotherapy and hydrotherapy
  • Third-party liability for dogs, where the state allows

Questions

What people ask about pet

Are pre-existing conditions covered?

No — that is near-universal across the market. It is the reason to enrol early, before a condition is recorded on the clinical history.

How does reimbursement work?

You pay the practice and claim back the covered percentage after the deductible. Some carriers pay the practice directly where it is set up for it.
