very long time. In the end, I couldn’t even claim back one dollar for a general health check. As a customer who has paid premiums for so long, I expected a smoother process and at least some support. Unfortunately, this experience made me feel like the insurance wasn’t worth it. I'm trying to cancel the insurance but seems very difficult. I hope the company can improve the claims process and be more transparent about what is actually covered.

Guide Dogs Pet Insurance

My 6th German Shepherd Solomon developed Gastric-Dilation Volvulus (GDV) or 'twisted stomach' for us non-medical folk. The condition is… Read more
overrepresented in this breed and I have lost 2 Shephard's previously to the condition. My wife and I had travelled from the Gold Coast to Helensburgh near Sydney to visit one of our sons and took 2 dogs along. On the day following our arrival I noted Solomon seemed lethargic in the afternoon after being very normal late morning and I checked his gums for sign of snake bite and then his stomach for potential GDV, His stomach was bloated and I could feel the twist. We rushed him to the ARH Emergency Vet Hospital in Wollongong and they triaged Solomon on arrival and prepared him for surgery. The staff who were brilliant assisted with contacting Guide Dogs and within minutes, we had pre-approval for the treatment. This rapid outcome was the best news along with the ARH surgeons quick assessment and I left the hospital with the confidence that I didn't need to worry about the cost or the level of treatment Solomin would receive. Solomon's had 4 days in intensive care and pulled through and is now recovering at home on the Gold Coast. He was discharged from the hospital in a very seamless process and all I needed to do was cover the gap.
I changed to Guide Dogs after a rejected claim from another insurer when Solomon was 7 months old and have been with Guide Dogs ever since (he'll be 8 in June) for multiple pets and this isn't my first claim with Guide Dogs.
If you are shopping around for an insurance option for your pet, I'm more than happy to recommend Guide Dogs.

Everyday Pet Insurance
- See all
I was already an Everyday Mobile customer when Woolworths emailed me promoting Everyday Pet Insurance. One of the headline reasons to purchase the… Read more
policy was the repeated promise that I could “Save up to $600 every year on groceries” with 10% off an in store Woolworths grocery shop once a month. As an existing Everyday Mobile customer, I reasonably understood this meant taking out Everyday Pet Insurance would provide an additional monthly grocery benefit.
After purchasing the policy and linking my Everyday Rewards account, I discovered that the Pet Insurance did not provide any additional grocery discount because it shared the same monthly benefit already attached to my Everyday Mobile service. In practical terms, the advertised grocery benefit that encouraged me to purchase the policy provided no additional value whatsoever.
What disappointed me most was not simply discovering this after the purchase, but how my complaint was handled. Rather than considering whether the advertising created an overall impression that was likely to influence a reasonable consumer, I was repeatedly directed to lengthy terms and conditions and told the promotion did not form part of the insurance product.
More concerning was PetSure’s position that the advertising and promotion were Woolworths’ responsibility rather than its own, despite the policy being issued by PetSure and promoted and distributed by Woolworths acting as PetSure’s authorised representative. It is difficult to understand how a company can rely on promotional material to sell its financial product, yet seek to distance itself from that same promotional material when a customer raises concerns about the impression it created. That approach significantly undermined my confidence in both companies and left me feeling that responsibility was being shifted rather than the issue being addressed.
No practical solution was offered despite the financial disadvantage I explained. Had it been made clear before I purchased that the advertised grocery benefit would provide no additional practical value because I already held an Everyday Mobile service, I would have purchased the same level of cover through another provider at a lower premium. Instead, I paid a higher premium, received none of the additional grocery benefit that featured so prominently in the marketing, and was left either accepting that financial disadvantage or considering changing insurers with the potential for waiting periods and uncertainty.
Woolworths is a brand I have trusted for many years, which made this experience particularly disappointing. When a company uses a headline benefit to encourage customers to purchase a financial product, I believe that benefit should be presented in a way that accurately reflects how it will operate for the customers receiving the promotion. Instead of acknowledging the issue and working towards a fair outcome, I ultimately had no option but to refer the matter to AFCA for independent review.
If you are considering this policy because of the advertised grocery discount, make sure you fully understand how it operates if you already hold another Woolworths product. Based on my experience, the headline advertising may not reflect the practical benefit you actually receive.

a cap on rebates to me so to speak. My dogs aren't on the same policy so I should receive identical rebates to my thinking. After all I'm not the patient the dogs are. If im not getting identical rebates on an identical policy I should be getting a %age discount on the 2nd policy as that pays back less. At $200 a month i expect same rebates on identical policies. I may well change one dog to another insurer to get a higher rebate. Resolution of claims is quick but unequal in value considering I pay the same price for both.

IVDD for our dachshund (unlikely as our breeder has all the breed history and no cases of it) we didnt expect our beloved puppa would need surgery for something else but she picked up and swallowed something on a walk that my husband couldn't get off her and unfortunately turned out to be a corn cob that had to be removed from her stomach. The claims process has been great and quick from start to finish. Only suggested improvement for pet cover would be developing some sort of gap payment system as it was hard to find the 5k upfront, other than that they have been helpful and efficient and we are very glad we had the cover. Our policy pays 80% back, minus excess, we have had policy for 2 years, so definately value for money. Thanks again.

gold was $1,000 a year in GST. 2nd year auto-renewal (I missed) rose to over $1,600 in GST Who does a 60% increase? Year 3 they tried to renew for over $2,000 incl GST. When I called to cancel they offered a discount on the excessive $2,000 and bonus free months. No company can explain these increases by keeping up with CPI increases and even allowing for your pet ageing. If you pet lived to 10 years you would be up for $20,000 +. Yopu're better off finding the cash, even with vet bills being so high.

RACQ Pet Insurance

you've paid the vet bill), but it is now grossly overpriced.
Our annual insurance for one of our dogs increased from $1836 to $2558 (a 39% increase) in a single year, for insurance than only covers up to $12,000 worth of vet bills. RACQ's explanation for this is that insurance costs increase as dogs get older, and they assure me that they are absolutely unable to do anything about the cost of their insurance.
Meanwhile, another insurer can provide insurance for the same dog for $830 covering most of what RACQ covers, and that policy would cover up to $20,000 worth of vet bills, which leaves me wondering why I would stay with RACQ, or ever suggest to others that they should use RACQ.
