tricky or expensive stuff. Value for money routine care, and add on dental as that was the only thing missing. So far so good!

foreign body, the whole process with Petsy was smooth from start to finish. Their pre-existing conditions assessment was thorough and fair, and once the claim went through, they paid their 90% share promptly with no hassle or pushback. On top of that, every time I've called with a question, the staff have been genuinely helpful and easy to deal with. Great peace of mind knowing they've got Milo covered.

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.

Once upon a time, little Amelia's parents chose Pet Insurance hoping we would never have to use it. Then, last Friday, our worst nightmare became… Read more

reality. IVDD knocked on our door. In the blink of an eye, we found ourselves facing every Dachshund owner's greatest fear. It didn't matter how many ramps we had, how careful we were, or how strictly we prevented jumping. The moment every dog parent hopes will never come had arrived.

To make a long story short, Amelia needed emergency spinal surgery on Friday night. Along with the heartbreak and uncertainty about her condition came the overwhelming stress of the hospital bill.

Today, I can only say thank you. Choosing Pet Insurance was one of the best decisions we ever made. In the middle of one of the hardest moments of our lives, the pre-approval process and GapCover were incredibly smooth, allowing us to focus on what truly mattered: Amelia's recovery.

I honestly can't imagine what this experience would have been like without insurance. Thank you, truly, for making such a difficult situation just a little bit easier. Your efficiency, compassion, and seamless claims process helped us through one of the biggest storms a pet parent can ever face.

We are forever grateful.

broken her hip and ended up in emergency at 2am. I had only recently taken out the policy, but thanked my lucky stars as the bill ended up in the thousands and I only had to pay a few hundred. I had tossed up whether or not to take out a policy as she was so young and an indoor cat, but it really paid off. The 10% off a monthly shop helps too.‍

vet called numerous times and was assured the payment had been sorted, yet the claim did not appear in your system when I logged in or called. Each inquiry resulted in being directed back and forth between your team and the vet with no resolution.

The funds were successfully deposited into my account today. I understand the delay was due to a system error that required IT intervention. While I appreciate that the matter is now resolved, it would have been helpful to receive a proactive update regarding the status of the issue while it was being fixed.

the introductory Breeders Policies to ongoing pet insurance for their puppies. We use the introductory policies with complete transparency with our clients and with Pet Cover. These policies provide peace of mind to us, and to our new puppy owners while they are welcoming their new family members into their homes.

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.

because they said it was preexisting. The final straw was when they said that an insect bite on a paw was linked to a "preexisting" ear skin condition. It was only after complaining and getting them to review the claim TWICE that they finally agreed to approved the claim, which they did not reimburse because it was less than the excess. Total vet bills in nearly three years was around $1200. Total pet insurance paid was close to $3000 and not one claim paid.

stomach condition - he'd been vomiting continuously for most of the day. All ended well albeit with a sizeable vet bill. Next came the attempt to claim. RAC were suggesting a pre-existing condition and wanted all kinds of irrelevant information??? Helloooo! The vet detailed a sudden onset - this is just an attempt to dodge a claim payout but here's the kicker - I have now (in writing) asked four times for an update and have not received a single response other than an auto generated "we'll get back to you". Not happy at all and now we are considering changing out our house policy ($1 mill) contents ($100k) and car ($85k) thinking RAC cannot be trusted.
