There are at least SEVEN different companies offering pet insurance. ALL policies offer 80% refund irrespective of the pet’s age. ALL policies offer continuing cover where a chronic medical condition is diagnosed, for example – arthritis or skin disease – and NO POLICY excludes hereditary or congenital conditions from insurance.
There is a CHOICE OF EXCESS up-front payments by the owner, depending on the company and policy type, and this excess does not increase as the pet ages. JOINING AGES are limited to a maximum of 9 years and a minimum of 8 weeks, but once joined, all policies extend to LIFETIME COVER. There is NO WAITING PERIOD for accident claims, and a 30 day waiting period for health claims. Premiums vary from $11-$60 per month to $19-$71 per month, depending on the options you select.
