Excellent, again!
Thanks again. Easy Pet Portal interface to lodge the claim, efficient service and quick and correct settlement within 1 week
We've been very pleased with PIA service from the outset. We've been with PIA about 5 years.

Great - pet insurance has been a godsend. We would have still paid for surgery but this certainly softened the blow!
The PIA policy is good value for money; the online claims process is fast and user friendly; staff are always helpful and courteous; and they always follow up after treatment to see how our best mate is going!

PIA was very supportive
The PIA policy was quick in responding to our submission for a surgery our pet had to go through after they found a Sarcoma lump, from three fatty lumps he had in his body. They covered a good amount of the cost, as the premium of our coverage stated. We were very happy with the result and again were reminded of how helpful it is to have health insurance for one's pet.

This has saved us thousands of out of pocket $!
Pet Insurance Australia is by far the best pet insurer out there. We used them for all our routine visits and vaccinations up until 2020. In 2020 we found out our dog had cancer. He needed major surgery to have it removed and follow up visits. We have had major cover all along at were extremely delighted to find out we were able to apply for gap only through our specialist hospital! The claim process has always gone smoothly, I always get reply emails to any query in a very timely matter and the team at PIA have always been very clear and under...
Read morestanding. The claim process through the portal is very easy to use, the only tricky part of claiming online is providing vet consultation notes ( most vets will not happily give these to you) So we decided to take a photo of a note stating' vet will email through consultation notes to PIA directly'. The vet emailed notes directly along with our insurance number. Claims have always gone through! Have recommended PIA to friends and family and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for pet insurance.1 comment

Great insurance product; fits our needs perfectly!
We’re very happy with our major medical plan; and very lucky to have taken it when we got our cat: she was diagnosed with a chronic condition that would have ended costing us an awful lot of money.
PIA customer service people are kind, process claims fast, answer all your questions and so far have been very honest dealing with our numerous invoices (no arguing). I could not think of not having pet insurance, now and in the future, and PIA are great!

Rip off!!
Was able to get some money back from a claim but not all of it. Had ridiculous policies like they’d cover surgery but not the blood test you need to have before surgery. Tried to leave, because we made 1 claim for 1 of our dogs(that we only got some money for) we had to continue paying for 6 months to finish the policy, without cover for that dog. Then the other dog who has had no claims should of been able to have no claims refund but then they decided that we couldn’t have that because we had been paying weekly not annually.
Waste of money!! Make a seperate bank account and save yourself. Pet insurance is the biggest Joke ever!!! Read terms and conditions very carefully!

Tiger Snake ...Jack Russell
Our Jack Russell was bitten by a tiger snake..
We rang the vet as we are not in a town they were to meet us there where they administered snake anti venine
Thanks to the vet and their diligence they saved her a few days in intensive care...she finally came home skinny but alive as snake bite takes their mussell
I put a claim with Pet Insurance in via email when I received the large bill from the vet ...the claim with Pet Insurance was delt with swiftly
I would highly recommended Pet Insurance as we have 2dogs ,as I felt it is good value and the people that work are very helpful
And we have been with Pet Insurance 5 years

Great Value for Money and fast response.
The policy is of good value.
The Self service is nice and my Vet and Hospital managed the claims for me which was easy.
I have been with the insurance for 8 years.

Thanks B Naim for taking the time to review PIA. Have a great day.
No surprises in my claim process, simple and efficient.
It took approx. 2-3 weeks for the claim to be processed.
The claim receipt had all detailsed explained with full amount that I paid and claimable amount.
PIA makes pet insurance a simple, hassle free protection for my pet and I.

Prompt & Easy!
When my dog had surgery to remove a toe, I submitted the invoices and paperwork online and within days our rebate was paid. No questions & no issues.

YEARS and YEARS paying THOUSANDS and RIPPED OFF
Pet Insurance Australia.....(PIA)
It is a farce that you charge excess per condition especially necessary euthanasia. I never knew that after paying you mob THOUSANDS of dollars, YES thousands for 3 dogs that when my best mate had to go to sleep I got hooked for another $200. At a minimum excess should be waved for long term customers when euthanasia is required. I will be "outing" you lot on Social Media because I believe that most of your very loyal customers such as myself dont realise your clever wording is per condition.....HIGHWAY ROBBERY. February will be my last month with you muppets, im taking my hard earned dollar elsewhere

I have had my dog insured with PIA for 2 or 3 years and I've never had to make a claim for my little one, she's always been so healthy! However, she recently had some slipped discs and became paralysed in her hind legs. Surgery was $7K and PIA were great, Pocket has the major medical cover as she is a big dog and wanted to make sure she was covered for any big dog issues, 80% of my bills were reimbursed within 3 weeks after making the claim. I don't like that it must be paid upfront but there are no pet insurers that do that and PIA, compared t...

They really care about our pets
Our pets recently arrived from overseas and I selected PIA for medical cover. Our one dog developed cruciate ligament problems within 4 months of arriving in Australia. Fortunately I had paid for the cruciate ligament checks and had a waiting period waiver on file, nevertheless on a quote of 8000 dollars for a bilateral surgery, we were grateful that PIA approved the surgery as they could have asked us to do one at a time over two years. This would have meant two surgeries and recovery periods. Our pet is recovering nicely and I just want to thank PIA for the professional caring service. You guys rock!

PIA is a godsend!
I have been with PIA for my staffy for about 5 years and have made numerous claims as my dog ended having a lot of health issues. PIA makes it super easy to lodge a claim and is so prompt with paying my claims. Makes it extremely stress free. Thank you PIA! I would be in a world of financial stress without you.
