 AI reviews summary 

Pros
Efficient claims processing: Customers frequently highlight fast claim turnaround times, with many approvals and reimbursements handled within a few days or even 24–48 hours.
User-friendly digital portal: The online platform and app make submitting invoices and managing policies simple and convenient.
Supportive customer service: Reviewers consistently praise the support team as friendly, compassionate, and helpful during stressful situations.
Comprehensive coverage: Many policyholders express relief at being fully supported for high-cost procedures, major surgeries, and specialist treatments.
Verdict

Overall sentiment toward Knose Pet Insurance is overwhelmingly positive, with the vast majority of policyholders praising the company for its responsive customer support, user-friendly claim submission process, and rapid reimbursement times. Many customers express strong gratitude for the financial relief provided during major pet health emergencies. However, a small subset of negative feedback points to occasional technical glitches with digital portals and concerns regarding significant premium increases as pets age.

My little furry friend had an awful episode requiring multiple vet visits, hospitalization and lingering issues lasting multiple months. Knose made reimbursement hassle free. Staff i spoke directly were efficient and caring. Show reply

I’ve been very impressed by Knose. Their communication is excellent & the claim was resolved very quickly. The website is straightforward, making it easy to lodge the claim. I’ve been with them for about 3 1/2 years, my puppy came with 6 mths insurance already paid & I simply continued on with it. Very glad I did, as he’s had some health issues requiring very expensive investigations. Show reply

I have had knose pet insurance for approximately 4 years for 1 dog and now have insured my new puppy with them. Usually claims are handled quickly but if any problems arise the company is easy to contact even in WA. Staff I have dealt with have been extremely professional and helpful. Would highly recommend this company. Show reply

We have been Knose insurance customers since we first got our puppy, Bella - coming up nearly three years now. Our policy was easy to set up and our vet was able to add all necessary information quickly. Above all, whenever we have had to make a claim it has been easy to do online on my phone. Uploading documents has been simple and quick and… Read more ·  1

identifying the claim issue just as simple too. Our claims have been reviewed and usually paid out within 24-48 hours. Amazing! We moved our cat, Elsa, to Knose at the same time. We have never looked back. They are terrific!

I’ve been with Knose for about 9 months, ever since we brought home Ruby, our little Cavoodle. We’ve made two claims so far, and both were accepted without any issues. Our experience has been very positive, and I hope it stays that way! Show details ·  1

Since Sunny joined our family, he has had a few minor health issues. We are very grateful that Knose was able to reimburse our claims quickly. Their customer service team has been wonderful — friendly, caring, and always willing to help. Knose truly helped us when we needed it most. Thank you so much! Show reply

Knose is an amazing insurance company I had a very tragic case with my 10 month old puppy Not only did they quickly handle things , they genuinely cared about my dog and myself. When I called to follow up with a few things not only did the staff immediately remember myself , she said she had been wondering how Crowley was going. Such a small… Read more ·  1

thing meant so much to me No at this time they don’t have gap pay but they’re so helpful and worked with me in my very stressful time Each customer service, claim, and manager I dealt with went above and beyond My old girl is now going to be with them and they’ve now got a life long customer

I can’t thank knose enough for the support and professionalism they carry. I will always recommend them to anyone And any fur doggie in my life I know will be so well taken of

From my family to Knose team Thankyou for everything

My Labrador Wink who is nine years old was recently diagnosed with leukaemia, She didn’t really show many symptoms and my vet picked it up at a yearly health check. I have had to make quite a few claims for blood test, MRI scans, and medications over the past weeks. The couple of times I have had to ring Knose the staff have been kind caring and… Read more ·  1

attentive, my claims have been sorted and paid promptly, couldn’t ask for a better service. As for Wink she is getting a better blood count and I hope I can get a bit more time with her, hate to think of my life without her. I have been with Knose for four years now and they have been outstanding. Like all insurances it helps in a crisis, at least now I can afford to provide my girl with the help she needs.

This coy. has the most clunky claims process imaginable. After 1 successful claim through their so-called Pet Portal said Portal now refuses to accept any claims docs. After my vet submitted invoice & paid receipt, I was told not to use the generic… Read more

claims address of "claims@knose...." When I did use their Portal nil action therein for 11 days till I rang to complain. Had sent all vet notes with the paid invoices but same got "lost" in their wonderful Portal as "file was too Big" ! Truly Amateur Hour ! I dumped the awful Pet Insurance Aust & the Filipino run Bow Wow Insurance for this lot but BIG problems here with alleged "new" and "old" Portals running simulataneously.

 Follow-up  · I am told new portal to be operational by November. Not sure why it takes so long in this age. They sent me a supposed link to the new but means I have to dump my standard password & creat yet another.Haven't bothered using it.

Please read this review to make an informed choice about Knose Insurance. Their conduct in unconscionable which only becomes evident as your dog becomes older or you need to make claims. Ihave insured my two dogs with Knose for some years now. They are both Griffons, one is five years old and the other just turned 10 years old. The older Griffon… Read more

has had a number of claims over the years totalling $6012.88 as advised by Knose for various issues of which $2992 was incurred in the last policy period. I have just received my policy premiums for each dog. The younger dogs premium increased from $92 per month to $100. The older dogs premium increased from $146 to $284! Now here is why I believe Knose is deceitful. When I queried why the premium for the older dog had nearly doubled I was advised both verbally and later in writing that it was due to a number of factors including age, breed, location, claims history, veterinary cost inflation and claims experience for similar pets. I queried Knose Insurance about why when did my younger dogs premium increased by only $8 when they are the same breed, go to the same vet and live in the same location? The only difference was age and claim history. When I asked whether doubling the renewal cost was a strategy by Knose to discourage older dogs having their annual policy renewed, they denied this. Knose don’t tell you when your dog is young that premiums jump significantly as they get older or your pet needs medical support. That is only revealed come policy renewal time. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had a younger and healthy same breed dog, o would have fallen for their deceitful reasons. The facts are absolutely clear that Knose Insurance want to reduce risk and old age and claims history is identifiable risk which data they use to adjust your premium to a level that discourages you from renewing your policy. There are similar stories to mine in other online reviews. Please do your research and make an informed decision because the pet insurance industry is not what it leads you to believe. They simply do not care about your ageing pet.

Honestly have had great experiences with these guys. There is sometimes a bit of a wait between the claim and the payment, but they're quite communicative about it and give updates when the claim has started to be processed etc. I have two dogs - one of them has had various issues and surgeries and she has never once been knocked back for a claim… Read more ·  1

(aside from when I've mistakenly tried to claim for a consultation or vaccination, which they are not covered for - fair, imo). They also have left little notes on the claims that make it clear that there is a real person reading them - the latest one, which prompted me to leave this review, was on a claim for my dog's second TPLO surgery, (effectively, "poor girl, her other leg! hope she's feeling better"). It's a tiny thing but it makes me feel better to know that there is a real person involved there.

I've never had issues getting money off of them and have never been asked for any additional justification or documentation. The lack of gap pay is a bit annoying but my vet puts the claim through directly to them for me (apparently they have a good relationship with each other) and it's very hassle-free on my end.

I chose this provider after a bunch of research because it was one of the only ones that was not (at the time) owned by one of the other ones. I'm covered for 80%, not including dental. It's a good plan and I appreciate that the exclusions are so easy to understand. I've been with them for ~3 years now.

i have a german shepherd dog and we took out the 90% coverage policy nearly 3 years ago when he was about 5 months old. my dog had come with a 2 month 'free' insurance policy from another company, putting the idea of insurance into our heads so that when it ended, we decided to look for a company people trusted and were prepared to talk about. … Read more ·  1

i read a lot of reviews and terms and personal anecdotes of pet insurers before i settled on Knose. we didn't have to use it for a few years and the price rose a little over those years, but in a fairly reasonable way. at times we wondered if it really was something we needed, then spud needed veterinary care. the veterinary care was in the thousands of dollars and is still ongoing at this time. it took a bit longer than we expected to hear back from our first claim, and that turned out to be because the vets we had gone to, who had done his shots and check ups, in a small country town, didn't reply very quickly ,or at all, to knose's requests for information. once we spoke to knose it progressed at a perfectly reasonable speed. and all claims since have ranged between a week and a few weeks. one bit of one bill didn't fall within the policy coverage, and honestly, we understood that when we thought about it. the representatives we have dealt with have been kind, thoughtful and supportive and i have no complaints about a single one of them. i have left writing a review for months now because its hard to write a review before you really see how the company, or product, works for you. so i now i know how our claims for spuds treatment unfolded, and if you've decided to get pet insurance, then i really can recommend Knose based on my wife and my personal experiences.

I cannot fault the service and attention I have received in all my dealings with Knose. The team respond quickly to questions and all of my claims have been resolved in a matter of days. Pet insurance is expensive but the alternative even more so. In my experience over the last 5 years, Knose are extremely efficient, the team are knowledgeable and above all, courteous and friendly. I'm happy to have chosen them. Show reply

I have been with Knose for 18mths. It was easy to set up, affordable and you get to speak to friendly staff. I recently put my first claim in for my dog's accident and the process was very easy to do. The approval and payment of my first claim took a little longer than I had hoped, but I did get paid and my other claims were much quicker. I highly recommend Knose. Show reply
