Pet insurance is becoming more and more popular in Australia. It offers you peace of mind as it covers some or all of the treatment costs if your pet gets involved in an accident or suffers a sudden illness. There is no equivalent of Medicare for pets, so treatment costs can exceed what an equivalent problem would cost a human patient.
Did you know that 24-hour emergency and critical care for animals can cost over $1,000 per day? Some surgeries, such as repair of fractured bones or exploratory surgery, can also add up to thousands of dollars and that’s before recovery and aftercare treatment. It is a heartbreaking situation to have to choose between the health of your pet and financial priorities, so, for peace of mind, we strongly recommend that your pet is insured.
There are several companies that offer pet insurance, even those that you may already have policies with. So ring around to see who can offer you a policy to suit your needs.
This means less paperwork, faster claims, and reduced out-of-pocket veterinary costs—so you can focus on getting your pet the best possible care. Chat with our team at your next visit to see if GapOnly is available for your pet.
Individual packages vary in the type of treatment covered. However, they usually include most accidents and unexpected illnesses.
You need to consider the differences between policies, in particular the claim excess amount, proportion of treatment costs covered, annual claim limit, age restrictions, pre-existing illness exclusions and policy costs.
