Often a pet’s illness or injury can catch us by surprise – it is a very emotional and upsetting time when we are asked by the vet to make decisions on the standard of care we want our pet to receive.

The big difference between human and animal health is that we humans have Medicare subsidising our heathcare treatments. No such thing exists for pets so it is up to you to bear the costs for all your pet’s healthcare needs and requirements.

We recommend that pets be covered by pet insurance. There are many different types of pet insurance companies and types of policies available. Some may have different exclusions based on age or breed or previous illness.

Pet insurance can ensure that decisions you make regarding your pet’s care do not have to be based on the amount of money you will have to pay for it. Your pet can receive the latest in veterinary treatment in return for a small monthly premium, eliminating the need to pay out large sums of money at a time when your pet needs the treatment. You can also receive a wide range of other benefits too. You would be more likely to claim on your pet insurance policy than you would on your car or household policies – and you wouldn’t dream of leaving these uninsured!
