Seniors Pet Insurance

I have been looking for an insurance for Joey. I found Australian Seniors and with the 10% discount for being over 50, I signed up. The guy on the phone was helpful and answered all my questions. Show reply

Talking to Lee was very pleasant, he explained everything very clear with a lot of patience, let me ask all of my questions and answered them in a very professional way. Show reply

I effected the policy in May 2026 and was assured of the cover. I lodged a claim in August 2026. The invoice was for 2 issues, however, I only claimed for one as the other issue was a pre-existing condition which I noted on the claim. After repetitive contact with me for further information, some 2 weeks later I received a declinature for both… Read more

issues. Clearly my claim wasn't read properly as I was only claiming for one issue...a polyp in the ear. Their rejection for both issues was pre-existing condition. My pet had an ear infection about 7 months earlier and their opinion was that this polyp is related to the previous ear infection 7 months earlier. If I was properly advised that any previous incident would be used to assess claims then I wouldn't have wasted my time and money. Obviously I cancelled the policy. Be careful with this insurance company as you could be wasting your money!

Only thing that made it worthwhile getting old – Best pet insurance in Australia no doubt! Claims are processed quickly and their cover level is fantastic. My beautiful boy has passed since I posted this review. Seniors pet insurance were there for him until his last hour. Thank you. Show 4 replies

Sheila was amazing and very helpful. Once I explained the issue with my pet claim, she offered to ring a previous vet to obtain the required information saving me the time and hassle to contact them myself. This is way above expectation and should be acknowledged. Thank you very much. Show reply

The best cover we could get for our 11 year old Golden Retriever, super easy to sign up and secure policy. Was completed in 10 mins and also received 10% discount. Wish we could add on more cover but out of all that was available, this provided maximum benefits. Show reply

Very impressed with the annual premium rate.....hundreds of dollars cheaper than my previous insurer. A long and extremely helpful phone call with Sandra from Sydney. She was very thorough, explained everything clearly, and was also charming and friendly. Can't fault the company or her! Show details ·  1

DO NOT GET Australian Seniors Insurance. Their Pet insurance is under written by Hollard's Insurance, probably the worst service insurance company in history. In fact ASIC has already received complaints about their dodgy scam tactics in trying to get out of any claim. Also Australian Seniors Insurance uses Allianz for their Travel Insurance. They… Read more

will treat you as a fraudster as a friend of mine recently went through their claim system and was rejected due to their team of investigating detectives contacting my friend and using a video interview against them. Steer well clear of Australian Seniors Insurance. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I would give Seniors Pet Insurance a 0/5 if I could. While it’s easy enough to register and start paying premiums, the experience completely falls apart when you actually need to lodge a claim. The online portal is incredibly outdated, full of glitches, and does not function seamlessly at all. I had to call twice just to complete the sign-up… Read more

process, and then had to call again to lodge a claim because the online system simply didn’t work properly. Basic functions either failed, froze, or didn’t process correctly. This is extremely frustrating—especially when you’re already dealing with the stress of a pet needing care. The whole purpose of having insurance is ease and support in those moments, not added complications. Overall, a very poor digital experience that reflects badly on the company. I would not recommend based on this alone.

Our pet’s policy premiums have QUADRUPLED over 8 years – Great value when 1st purchased 8years ago $600+pa. Easy to set-up then, and with the added on-line ‘pet portal’ option, easy to claim & view claims. But finding it harder each year now to see the worth/value in this policy, since it has QUADRUPLED in cost of the annual premium, now $2500pa.Based on this 30-40% annual hike, next year = $3300pa.… Read more

Wow! Stated in their policy - “We review our pricing to ensure we can continue to support the available treatment options”

IF YOUR PET HAS A SPECIFIC ‘CONDITION’ (arthritis,seizures) which was ‘pre-existing’ BEFORE the policy began, you will never be able to claim for it (as with any insurance company). Yes, we get approx 80% back on MOST claims (but there are strict limitations), and the ‘fine print’ in the lengthy, wordy, legal-jargon policy, means that if the Vet uses the wrong language when describing a medication etc in the vet report (ie Supplements) you will be quickly be denied any refund .

If you happen to complain about their policy premium ‘hike’, you will receive an email (i.e. typical boring, template reply), which always states that the pet’s breed, age, vet fees & medications are the reasons for this rapid annual price hike. Their email communication process has improved. especially in relation to claims. But If you actually try to phone them, you’ll go through the main switchboard, and then with much call transferring, you may get through to the correct Pet Insurance section. Very frustrating and time-consuming. They need to up their game in this area.

Based on research, we believe this practice of constant, regular, premium increases is standard throughout the industry. Is it really worth all the hassle? - Something to seriously consider before purchasing pet insurance.

Yet again Seniors Pet Insurance have provided brilliant service. My dog was referred by my vet to a specialist vet who were slow in forwarding my claim after the treatment. It was a large amount of money and when I explained the situation to Seniors Pet Insurance within 24 hours they processed my claim. The two ladies I dealt with over the phone were excellent! Show details ·  1

Already being a happy Australian Seniors client with my own Life Insurance, I decided due to escalating Veterinary costs to obtain Australian Seniors Basic Accident and Illness Cover for my two SENIOR (over 10 year old) much loved cats. The Policies were simple to complete online, is great value for money, with NO EXCESS, and GAP ONLY offering me… Read more ·  1

Peace of Mind knowing I have at least basic cover for my ageing fur babies. A lovely Australian Seniors representative also called me, to step me through the Policies as well.

Kieran was so lovely to deal with. Knowledgeable, not at all pushy and established rapport instantly by enquiring about our puppy and sharing his own experiences with the same breed. He didn’t fluff about with unnecessary conversation (I’m neurodivergent so I’m not into “small chit chat” for the sake of it) but he delivered the facts in a very… Read more ·  1

clear, respectful, understandable and efficient manner which I very much appreciated that approach as a salesperson. All in all a great experience and wanted to make sure that Kieran got a shoutout for being such a great ambassador for your brand. Thank you ☺️.
