Unlike human healthcare, there’s no Medicare for pets. This means all veterinary treatment — from routine care to emergency surgery — is privately funded.

If your pet suddenly becomes ill or injured, the cost of care can quickly add up. For example:

  • Emergency care can cost over $1,000 per day
  • Orthopaedic or exploratory surgeries may run into several thousand dollars
  • Follow-up appointments, medications, imaging, and rehabilitation are additional costs

Having insurance in place can help you avoid the heartbreaking position of having to weigh your pet’s health against your financial circumstances.


What does pet insurance cover?

Most pet insurance policies cover:

  • Accidents and injuries
  • Sudden or unexpected illnesses
  • Diagnostic tests (e.g. blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound)
  • Hospitalisation and surgery
  • Some may include cover for prescription medications or alternative therapies

Coverage varies by provider, so it’s important to compare plans carefully. Key things to consider include:

  • Claim excess
  • Percentage of costs reimbursed
  • Annual claim limits
  • Exclusions (e.g. pre-existing conditions)

  • Age limits for enrolment
  • Monthly premium cost

  • Offer general advice on what to look for in a policy
  • Provide documentation to support your claims

We see firsthand how valuable insurance can be in helping pets access timely, high-quality care. It’s one of the best ways to protect both your pet’s health and your peace of mind.
