What does pet insurance cover?

Pet insurance covers the costs of your pet’s accidents, illnesses, and injuries. It covers things like vet consultations, surgeries, hospital stays, and medication. Our policies can also cover alternative therapies and behavioural treatments, giving you extra peace of mind.

How much is pet insurance in Australia?

The cost of pet insurance can vary widely. It depends on your pet’s type, breed, age, health, and the level of cover you choose. Petcover’s ‘Umbrella for life’ dog insurance policies start from as little as $35.68† per month.

What is the ‘excess’ in pet insurance?

An excess is the amount you pay towards any claim you make on your pet insurance. Choosing a higher excess can help reduce the cost of your policy.
