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 details ·  1

Bernie was fantastic. He was very patient and answered all my questions. His knowledge is comprehensive and readily offered any further assistance. It took him minutes to establish the policy and provided all the relevant information over the phone as well as email. Show details ·  1

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 The online portal is incredibly outdated, full of glitches, and does not function seamlessly at all.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.

Perfectly suited for my Senior Dog Max at 11 and there $2.90 cheaper than RSPCA for the exact same thing. After calling 15 different pet insurance companies only RSPCA and these guys could help me out. Show details ·  1

Pet insurance – Claims were honoured as per the conditions of the policy. Premiums increased markedly each year becoming quite expensive over the 8 years. Not sure if this increase is dependent upon claim history. Claims were resolved quickly with gap payments being introduced a couple of years ago. For us, it was good value due to the amount of claims, as well… Read more ·  1

the as peace of mind that large vet bills weren’t such a big hit to the bank account. We would certainly have any future pets insured and Seniors Pet Insurance would be our choice due to the customer service they have provided in the past.

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 ☺️.

My experience, so far, has been to get a quote for Pet Insurance and to accept the quote. It was a great relief to speak to an actual person on the phone. That, to me, is a huge bonus. I spoke to Brad, who went through setting up Pet Insurance, step by step, very thoroughly. So far, so good! Show details ·  1

Happy with the 80 percent return and Gap Payment set up – I felt very happy with the response time and understanding of my claims for my pet's long standing problems. The Gap Policy helped immensely and I literally just waited around for 15 mins to find out the payment due. I would have been happier if the claims I had for Dermatology had been taken on board. I have had to pay in full for 8 years for… Read more ·  1

issues because I was a few days short of the 30 day period at the start of signing on. Due to not understanding as it was a legal condition but cost me a lot over the years where it could have been handled better on the side of the insurance

Couldn't get through on both 1300 numbers – Using the online registration to set up was fine but when I rang the 1300 numbers it cut out. I have a question re when my dog has been desexed. This is a new policy Show details ·  1

When is an ‘accident’ not an insurance accident – I feel that the cover I have shouldn’t be called ‘accident’ - my pet swallowed rat bait which wasn’t covered in my policy. What actually is an accident??? However, the issue was dealt with well, and the claim resolved. My only criticism is the paperwork work. Firstly I didn’t receive all of it, ( which was queried by your staff, and made me feel stupid, as if I hadn’t looked properly) and then sent repeated letters of the same. Show details ·  1

Waste of money – After three years of accident insurance I made my first claim after my dog ate human feaces on the beach path. In a short space of time I had to rush him to emergency where he tested positive to Marijuana and MDMA. My claim was denied as intoxication is deemed to be an illness not an accident. It took three weeks and I had to ring them before being told my claim was denied. Absolute waste of money. Show details
