Pet Insurance for Your Dog

Pet insurance offers you peace of mind, helping to cover the costs if your dog is involved in an accident or suffers a sudden illness. It is important that you research and choose the right policy, one that offers the level of cover that best suits your dog's health and your financial requirements.

Things to consider when choosing a pet insurance policy for your dog include:

The level of cover you require: accident and illness, or comprehensive
Any excess payable when you make a claim
Whether the policy fits within your budget
If there are any age entry limits
Whether your cover will cease or reduce once your cat reaches a certain age
Annual benefit limits for different conditions
Any waiting periods
Inclusions and exclusions, e.g. pre-existing conditions or obstetrics
Whether you want more comprehensive cover that includes preventative treatments, e.g. vaccinations, dental treatment or desexing
How easy is it to make a claim
Discounts for insuring more than one pet

By insuring your dog you can focus on your beloved pet’s recovery, rather than worrying about the hefty medical costs. It will also ensure you can afford the best possible care and treatment for your dog when unforeseen circumstances arise.
