Thankful – We have been with Petsecure for over 10 yrs and have had no problems with claims or the process with claiming. We always receive our claims within a few days. Petesecure have always been there for our furbabies when we needed them the most. Thankyou Petsecure. Show details
Excellent in every respect, always there when you need them – PetSecure is extremely reliable and very prompt in processing claims. They are also very good at communicating the receipt and progress of claims. We have been PetSecure clients since the mid/late 1990s and we have never looked elsewhere. Our Maremma sheep dog is also grateful that our PetSecure insurance allows us to seek the best in veterinary care for her. Show details
PetSecure is a Force of Nature – PetSecure has directly contributed to the World Wide Veterinary Base of Knowledge. Through the diligence, exemplary ethical standards and Best Practice of this company, I have been able to seek and find the multiple avenues of help I have needed to keep my 2 companion animals alive. Gidget and Bert Moore are Devon Rex cats with a plethora of… Read more
medical issues. Their histories are long and complicated and when many questioned my relentless quest for treatment to either save their lives or simply to improve the quality of their lives, PetSecure has backed me without question for the last 10.5 years. I constantly advocate for PetSecure and people have actually volunteered that there is no way that I would have been able to be as advanced in our journey with animals with such incredible problems without the unending support of PetSecure. I have been incredibly ill myself and being able to keep going, trying to repay Gidget and Bert for their around the clock service trying to assist and comfort me, has many times given me the will and keep going with the daunting medical procedures I have endured. Additionally, when I have been too unwell to submit claims clearly, the PetSecure team has actually voluntarily contacted me and helped me! The moral fibre of this company and team is nothing short of world class. PetSecure has not only saved myself and Gidget and Bert, but also other animals who are not as fortunate to have a Mother with the full might of the PetSecure Insurance Team behind them.

can do without pet insurance – this is our second policy with this company and they have been extremely easy to deal with claims were quick to be resolved been with them for 14 years & now 3 years Show details
A Must Have Insurance – My dog is 16 and a half, old for even a small dog. Early last year he had a cancerous tumor in the back of his nasal cavity. Animal Rescue Hospital treated him. He had radiation therapy and has Cushing's desease so ongoing drugs for that also. We love our pet and without insurance he would be dead as it couldn't be affordable. Thank you PetSecure.

Disgraceful - No cover to cremate your pet? – After 5 years of taking my money, so disappointed - losing a beloved pet is distressing at any time .... now find out that they won't cover the cost to cremate our babies is CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP - such a total rip off .... these pet insurances are ONLY worth the money if you have a pet who has health issues ... I took out insurance for my older… Read more
dog over the past years - cost over those 5 years was approximately $5,000 And I think for this pet I may have claimed some $500 ......... What is even more amazing is when I rang to advise them of his passing (waiting time almost 45m mins due to Manila call centre closure) I was told I could still lodge the final accounts for his cremation even after cancellation which I did ... the claim was firstly rejected as the policy was cancelled ... so back on the phone AGAIN for another hour waiting to then be told someone had put in the dates incorrectly from their side - was promised I would receive an email from Kaitlin that afternoon which never came .. so emailed Customer Service to be told by Joy that I was not covered .... she even had to cheek to say if I had upgraded my cover I would be covered for a whole $60 towards the $250 cost ... Honestly, they had already taken $5K of my money and then to be told I should have upgraded to get what, $60 back ... these guys are thieves and I will be reporting them to the Financial Services Ombudsmen .... Unfortunately I have another dog who does have some health problems and is also insured with them but as it's almost impossible to transfer your insurance due to preexisting conditions, I stuck dealing with these rip offs merchants!!! Shame on them, taking advantage of grieving pet owners - they only care about making money, not our pets ...
You can rely on PetSecure – Our maremma sheepdog Misty is the latest in a line of maremmas that have been covered by PetSecure over many years. Claims have always been handled expeditiously, and any queries are promptly attended to. We humans also feel secure with PetSecure! Show details · 1

Just got renewal increase....VERY VERY expensive and not willing to consider help with premium – Used to be good and reasonably priced but now VERY expensive. They start off ok and then they steadily jack up your premiums. I understand insurers have to assess risk etc but the level of increase in my 2 polices has gone up over 100% in a matter of years. Imagine if your own health insurance increased that much over a few years - we all… Read more
complain when its goes up 5% in a year. These guys want to charge me almost what I pay for a family top level hospital health policy - that's ridiculous. I just called them because the renewal letter said to call them to discuss if you were considering cancelling the policy and got transferred from one person to another who basically told me exactly what the first person told me (why I was transferred I don't know because the second person was absolutely no help whatsoever). I only get 75% on claims back and their solution was to reduce my cover to Accident only. I told them I'm not interested in reducing level of cover when I already have exclusions and only 75% cover. I've been with this company for many years with different policies including previous dogs and this is the first time I questioned a policy increase (thought about it but as per probably most people never got round to it so I expect they think they can just continue increasing it regardless). That's probably one of the most annoying things - you remain loyal over the years and then when you ask them to reconsider one renewal increase they baulk. I'm just really disappointed in them.
Never had a problem – We adopted a 5 year old rescue dog almost 4 years ago now and signed up to Pet Secure about 3 years ago. I signed up because our doggo is a bit of a boof head and I'm always worried she going to injure herself running around. We've made multiple claims for a range of medical issues, including some pretty major ones, and always found claiming with… Read more · 1
Pet Secure very quick and easy. I signed up knowing that when she passes on that we're obligated to continue payments until the end of the 12 month contract period, but apparently that's a common thing with pet insurance. Really the only draw backs we've had are: 1) when initially signing up over the phone I mentioned to the operator I had seen a reference on the web site to a discount for rescue dogs. The operator hadn't heard of it and instead of finding it put me on hold until I could find the code on the site to give her. 2) I personally find the site very difficult to deal with. Tonight when lodging a claim I've had to re-log in at least 15 times and use 2 different browsers. Initially it didn't like Chrome and kept giving me an error then auto logging me out, then I got half way through the claim in Edge before it did the same, so went back to Chrome where I finally finished the claim. This is a common occurrence no matter if I use Chrome, Firefox, Edge or some lesser well known browsers. Not having had pet insurance elsewhere I can't comment on how prices compare but I believe the price is extremely good considering how much we've received back in claims.
Thank goodness for pet insurance – This year I have had 3 separate incidences where one of my 5 pets has required expensive emergency veterinary care and/or surgery. On each occasion I have had massive vet bills and subsequently made claims to Petsecure. I cannot fault the level of service I have had from this company. Making claims online is simple and funds were paid within less… Read more · 3
than 5 working days. Whenever I have called the office, the staff have always been understanding, friendly and helpful. Each time a furry member has been added to my family, the set up of insurance for them has been simple and painless.
Nobody anticipates something terrible happening to a much loved pet, but when it does, I know that I am supported by Petsecure. I have never had to argue about a claim, wait extended periods of time for payment or discovered 'hidden' clauses where a veterinary procedure has not been covered by the policy.
I have had policies with other providers in the past and have been disappointed every time. I now only ever recommend Petsecure.

Speedy review and compensation – Our pet who has been a member of petsecure for 9 years had extensive vet treatment which required detailed documentation to be submitted before a decision was made. Petsecure were very helpful in guiding us through what needed to be provided. Compensation was speedy once all documentation was assessed. Very pleased with this level of service. Show details
Great support, fast claim processing – Very happy with Petsecure, the policy is good value, have recently lodged a claim which was processed very quickly. I have been with this company for over 25 years and they have always been very reliable. Show details

Negative reviews
Rip off, don't look after long term customers – Persecute have paid the few times I've claimed, but the premium went from $50 to $70 then last year when Polly turned 11yrs it went to $135 per month and this year they now demand $169 per month. Shes never been sick.. feel totally ripped off. Looking elsewhere.. Show details
The process was slow and frustrating – We've been with Petsecure for a couple of years. Will stay with them even though there was a few little problems lodging our claim. Hopefully they'll improve with the process. We were happy with setting up the policy over the phone. Show details
Hi Leanne, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to… Read more
unjustified huge increase in the premium – I don't know nor understand how they calculate the price of premiums but considering original price definitely huge increase and don't even bother keeping their customers so im going somewhere else much cheaper and better. Show details

Such a necessary part of owning a pet – I feel very comfortable having Petsecure as I have a dog with ongoing health issues. When claims are issued they are so prompt in processing and I am very happy with the benefits paid. I have been with Petsecure for many years, this being a policy for my second dog. Show details
Not stressing about vet bills – Fast refund . Vet sent in claim so all I needed to do was look after coco and not worry about my vet bill. Have 3 dogs insured and is such a relief not having to worry when they get sick . Show details
The security of Petsecure insurance – I’ve had my dog insured with Petsecure for ten years. Setting up the policy was relatively straightforward with the policy features clear. Claiming was initially quite cumbersome. However they have worked on the process and claiming is now very quick, easy and straightforward. Payment is prompt, within a week but often in a couple of days. The… Read more
return on my claims have been high, about 90% but it depends on the policy and the vet cost of the procedure.

No Issues – Have been with PetSecure for 8 years and recently had to make multiple claims for my sick pug. Each claim was dealt with quickly and they provided prompt communication as to the lodging, progress and conclusion of each claim. After sending in documentation of vet history for the initial claim I did not have to do so for subsequent claims. They… Read more
were quick to get back to me with answers to my questions and each claim was processed within 10 days. Having a sick dog is stressful and I am grateful PetSecure didn’t add to my stress … in fact my dealings with them have been entirely stress free.

Great company. Been with them 10 years. Never had a problem – I’m more than happy with the policy. Easy to set up. Claims are resolved very fast these days. Usually back in my bank within days. I have had a lot of heath problems with my dog and always worry it may not be covered. But I have never had an issue. When I have had to ring them they are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Show details
Very reliable and honoured claims made – Policy was good value and easy to set up. Claims were resolved quickly. I have been a client of the company for over 10 years and had 5 cats insured over that time. Show details
Peace of Mind – Probably value for money as it is good to know you can get the treatment your pet needs without worrying about the cost too much. Claims have always been resolved quickly. We have been with Pet Secure for a long time now and any problems have been sorted out and mainly due to policy cover. It would be good if dental treatments were included in… Read more
the insurance cover the same as annual vaccinations are as this is a preventative to major health problems that can occur if not attended to straight away.
good service – I am happy with the claims process, it's all done quickly. Have had no problems. Only issue is with the premium price, would like it to be cheaper, but is still value for peace of mind. Show details
Good response – Easy to set up, good customer service, timely updates. On initally submission was declined a refund however once I explained that it was an accident and not routine follow up, a refund was provided. Waited a few weeks for the refund however was kept in the loop with email updated. Been with PetSecure for 7 years now. Show details
Excellent service – I'm very impressed with the prompt assessment of any claims I've lodged with Pet Secure. Some refunds have been in my account within a couple of days. I've been with PetSecure approximately 7 1/2 years Show details
Efficient and reliable but getting expensive – The policy was excellent value to begin with, but ten years later, and a lot of vet visits did make our premiums raise significantly over time. Great service, would recommend. Show details
Our lives would not be the same without Petsecure Insurance! – Excellent value policy, easy use portal, claims resolved promptly. Client for 12yrs with 2 dogs and wouldn’t have afforded vet bills incurred without Petsecure. Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you ! Show details
