I have a 3 questions for you…….
Do you have Car Insurance? (77% of Aussies do!)
Do you have House and Contents Insurance? (65% of Aussies do!)
Do you have Health Insurance? (54% of Aussies do!)
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, then chances are you have taken insurance to protect yourself against unknown (and hopefully unlikely) events.
Pet Insurance
Whether you have invested a lot of time, effort and money into finding the perfect purebred or have the most valuable family member that came free to a good home, you want to protect them by ensuring they have access to the best possible treatment and medicine.
And the reality is we don't have a public hospital service for pets, the government doesn’t contribute to their health care nor offset the true cost of many medical procedures we as humans are so lucky to have (although I do remember a time when you would smuggle pets into hospitals for MRIs or CT scans!!).
The most challenging part of my job as a vet is being confronted with discussing treatment decisions with pet owners who unfortunately have been blindsided by the “unknown” and “unlikely” and the costs associated with providing the best possible care for their loved one.
Sadly, these can often be life and death decisions.
Whilst we cannot remove the worry from having a sick pet, pet insurance can take the financial worry from ensuring they get the best possible care.
Gap Payment Pet Insurance
Your pet receives the immediate care they need and you get to keep more money in your pocket.
We have made it even easier for your pet to receive the care they require. Sure, you might have pet insurance, but what if the treatment needs to be done straight away?
Traditionally, treatment costs are paid, and you have to wait for your claim to be reimbursed. If you don’t have the full amount, treatment may be delayed.
Now, many pet insurance companies allow us to claim directly from them.
Your claim is generally assessed within 10 minutes while you wait, and if approved, you just pay us the gap – the amount not covered by your pet insurance policy.
