We encourage clients to weigh up their options and personal circumstances when considering pet insurance.
Tuggeranong Veterinary Hospital considers pet insurance as one way to ensure that savings have been made to cover the cost of unexpected veterinary bills for injury and illness. This is particularly the case when a new puppy or kitten has been brought home to join the family.
Depending on the insurance product chosen, pet Insurance will cover anywhere from 50% to 80% of veterinary costs.
Ethically, Tuggeranong Veterinary Hospital cannot recommend any one insurance company but suggests that clients shop around and review the policy that suits their circumstances the best.
Clients are advised to pay particular attention to the fine print, which in some cases can exclude cover for certain conditions and procedures or increase premiums based on the breed and preexisting conditions of the pet.
If you are unsure where to start, you can review the Canstar Insurance Broker for various pet insurance products.
