Easy and hassel free – I have been with Seniors pet insurance for about 7 years. I have 2 policies and I think this has to be is the best value pet insurance around. Easy to set up and the claim process is also very easy and with a very quick resolution. A huge difference to the company I used previously. Highly recommended Show details

Excellent product – The whole claiming process was a little daunting at first but that's more because I'm not especially good at technology. Once I understood how things work, everything was really good. I received an immediate email to acknowledge my claim, approval was received about three days later and the money was in my account a couple of days later. I have… Read more ·  1

75% coverage and that's exactly what I received. For us, this policy has been excellent value. We are recommending all our dog owning friends to use this company for their pet insurance needs. We have been with Australian Seniors Pet Insurance for about 18 months. Set up was very simple and done over the phone.

Best turn-around times and communication – Seniors Pet insurance offers the best communication and feedback. My claims are usually done and dusted within 3 days. And they let you know with a full layout of what has been paid and when. no guessing games. Show details ·  1

Tedious – Very capable and efficient agent but the amount of information she was required to read out was very lengthy and annoying, especially since I had previously had an identical policy. There were a lot of numbers included that there was no chance of remembering anyway Show details ·  1

Let down – After my previous positive experiences with this company, I was surprised & disappointed to receive a massive hike in this year's premium, a 30.2% increase which put the monthly insurance for my little dog above the monthly premium for my home insurance! None of the explanations given for this excessive premium "cut it". As a pensioner, I had… Read more

little option but to discontinue the policy. It seems as though, once a dog reaches an age beyond which a policy (with a new insurer, say) cannot be initiated, insurers effectively have you over a barrel. Not nice.

More expensive than some other premiums – The Policy was quite easy to set up, however it is quite expensive compared to some other Pet Insurance Company premiums. My last claim took weeks to resolve due to unnecessary requests for more information which had been given previously. I have been with this insurance company for several years. Show details

Seniors Pet Insurance Claims quick turnaround on payments – Our furry friend has had some illness challenges requiring her to attend the vet at least once a month. Seniors Pet Insurance has provided the opportunity for us to keep giving our beloved labrador the care she needs. Show details ·  1

Easy and good value – The policy was easy to set up and comparatively good value for money. I’ve claimed twice now for our puppy to go to the vet and despite not being able to claim at the vet surgery, the process was quick and easy when I got home and the money was in my account within a day. Show details ·  1

Speedy reimbursement..if you can find the login! – Claims are very easy, requiring either the vet to send off notes and invoice or providing an electronic invoice for claim. Once you find the log in, it's very easy to claim. Reimbursement is usually within 24 hours, which is great if your pet has been hospitalised and costs have bee n high. My only criticism is the difficulty finding the login… Read more ·  1

page. It's not on the information page and a couple of links my platform warns me against as not https secure. When this gets fixed, this will be most definitely a 5 star insurance service!

Great policy for my financial situation – Great policy, have no regrets purchasing this policy. Claims are paid within 5 working days. Never out of pocket for very long. Would prefer more amount for consultations, as they can run out very quickly Show details ·  1

Great coverage & easy to claim – This policy is great value! We've easily recouped the premium in one overnight stay at the vet who claimed for us and it was paid within a day. We have been with Australian Seniors Pet Insurance for 1.5 years. Show details ·  1

Incompetent, never again – It took three months for a basic claim to be processed, with the same questions asked over and over again. How many times did this company want the medical history of my little dog? 4 times it was sent. Cannot get onto the portal as it only comes up with HTML. I finally wrote to the head of the company after this going back and forward for 3 months and it was sorted. However, due to this appalling customer service, I cancelled the policy.  Show details
