Loved by pet owners Australia wide.

I even reckon they care! Fast, friendly, easy. I even reckon they care!
Obie has had 2 lifesaving surgeries in his first year. The customer service team helped all the way through. Claiming was easy and quick. Even follow up calls to make sure he's OK. Thoroughly recommend.

Best pet insurance in the market - Petsy is the best dog insurance in the market. Great customer service, quickly respond to emails, provide quick and fair assessment of your pets claim and care about your pet’s health by doing follow up calls to check on your pet. My Newfoundland has Petsy Pet Insurance since she was 8 weeks old puppy and it was the best decision ever!

Daniela A, July 2024

Fantastic Customer Service - After changing pet insurers I wasn't sure what to expect when I submitted my first claim through Petsy. I'm happy to say their customer service throughout the claim process had been exceptional. Regular progress updates and timely processing of the claim have been highlights. Then Sophie was kind enough to call to check my pet dog has recovered. Amazing!

Petsy has ZERO SUB LIMITS

What is a sub limit?

Also known as a “condition limit” or “per incident limit”, a sub limit acts as a ceiling limiting claims made on a pet insurance policy per year (period of insurance), for treating certain conditions.

A sub limit adds an extra limit on certain veterinary expenses, common examples include limits on cruciate ligament surgery, hip dysplasia, dental illness and/or vet consultations. Having no sub limits means that there will be no extra limits placed on any veterinary expenses if you choose Petsy, enabling you to be able to claim up to (a maximum) of $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000 per year (period of insurance).

Petsy Pet Insurance may provide you peace of mind when the unexpected happens

What is Pet Insurance?

Glad you asked! Petsy Pet insurance is a policy that reimburses vet costs you incur for the treatment of your pet if they suffer an unexpected injury or illness (provided these occur after any applicable exclusion period has ended).

Whilst having Petsy Pet Insurance doesn’t make an illness or injury go away, it does soften the financial impact and may make it easier for you to access veterinary care for your pet without money being the sole deciding factor.

Petsy Pet insurance covers a wide range of conditions/illnesses from ear infections to diabetes, all the way through to cancer treatment and the cost of x-rays and surgery if for example, your pet has gastrointestinal problems. Your Petsy Pet Insurance policy may come in handy if your pet accidentally breaks a bone or is hurt by a car, or if they accidentally eat something dangerous, they shouldn’t have.

It’s important to protect the ones that are important to you, and no-one wants to be in a position where they are unable to meet the veterinary cost for their pet following an unexpected incident. Having Petsy Pet Insurance can mean that you and your furry friend can have peace of mind, even when life gets tough, and things don’t go as planned.

What the policy doesn’t cover

Petsy Pet Insurance is designed to provide cover for the vet costs of treatment that is required to relieve or cure an unexpected illness or injury.

Pre-existing Conditions

Treatment of conditions that have occurred, have shown signs or symptoms and/or you knew about the condition (or a reasonable person in the circumstances could be expected to have known) prior to purchasing your policy or during an applicable exclusion period are considered Pre-existing Conditions, and are not covered.

Made for the unexpected

Preventative and routine items & treatments, such as general check-ups and vaccinations, things you would expect to do in order to keep your pet healthy, and elective procedures (including desexing) are not covered.

Exclusion Periods apply

An exclusion period is the amount of time during which no benefit is payable under the policy and this means you cannot claim for vet costs for treatment your pet receives in relation to an illness or injury which occurs during a exclusion period. In addition any condition that occurs, has shown signs or symptoms and/or you come to know about it during a exclusion period, will meet the definition of a Pre-existing Condition and will therefore be excluded from your cover.

Exclusion periods apply from the time your policy starts, even if you have decided to switch to Petsy Pet Insurance from another provider’s pet insurance policy, and also if you upgrade your level of cover with Petsy.

The current exclusion periods are:

There are over 12,000 registered vets in Australia. With Petsy Pet Insurance, you can choose your own vet.

No one likes a cat-astrophe

Were you aware that vet bills and examination fees can creep up quickly after an illness or emergency?

Cancer treatment that includes removing tumours can cost up to $15,000; even diabetes medication can cost you $1,200 a year.

Insurance is the one thing we pay for that we hope we never need to use. But when needed, pet owners are relieved to have it.

Pet Insurance can play an important role in helping you support your pet with the care that they need if something unexpectedly goes wrong.
