The Benefits of Insuring Your Pet With Vets Choice

Pre-existing conditions

Traditionally, pre-existing conditions have been excluded in pet insurance policies, leaving thousands of Australian pets exposed. At Vets Choice insurance for pets, we’re doing things a bit differently. After consulting and working directly with Australian vets and the Australian Veterinary Association, we’ve built a policy that covers conditions that have been successfully treated, if they reoccur.

Third party liability

Third-party insurance for dogs and cats works similarly to the way third-party insurance helps in vehicle insurance. When your pet is involved with an accident resulting in damages or injuries to a third-party, our policy steps in and helps.

No Claims Bonus

You can be rewarded for keeping your pet in good health. Your policy premium can be reduced by up to 5% if you keep your dog or cat healthy and you have no claims during your annual policy period. 

Dental Cover

Like humans, dental work for animals can be costly. As pets use their mouth for more than just eating, they run a high risk of incident and disease. More than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years old have some form of periodontal disease, according to Vet West hospitals. Dental disease is seen frequently in animals over three years of age, and puppies and kittens who tend to have more fragile teeth. You can get cover for dental accident and illness  , and also routine care. Find out more about our dental cover .

Australian Pet Insurance

About Vets Choice

Born out of a commitment to Australian vets and the veterinary profession, Vets Choice insurance for pets is the product of a more than 33-year partnership between Guild Insurance and the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA).

Since the beginning, Vets Choice was developed with the AVA to ensure pet owners have access to pet insurance that’s created by vets for pets. Every aspect of our policies are informed and shaped by the input of hundreds of Australian vets, to make sure our policies cover the accidents and illnesses that real pets face.

We understand that our four-legged family members deserve to be protected for what happens to them, rather than what a business chooses to cover. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help more pets get the care they deserve, by working with Australian vets to build policies that make a difference when you need them to.

Why Insure Your Pet

There’s a lot of similarities between the treatment’s pets receive to us humans. The same machines, medications and even the same treatments are performed. However, unlike human medicine, there’s no Medicare for pets. Which means without pet insurance, pet owners will be facing the full cost of emergency treatments and care. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to help more Australian pets become protected by insurance, to ensure they get the care they need when accidents happen.

Pre-Existing Conditions and Insurance - What you need to know

We know that insurance can sometimes be hard to understand. There’s a lot of fine print, and it can contain some complicated terminology. When it comes to pet insurance, there are few areas more confusing than pre-existing conditions.
