Put your pet's health and happiness first with easy and flexible cover from Buddy Pet Insurance
Pet insurance can help cover the cost of medical care for your pets, reducing out-of-pocket expenses related to vet bills should something unexpected happen. Pet insurance typically works by reimbursing you for eligible veterinary expenses related to your pet's health, such as accidents and illnesses. Different pet insurance plans offer varying levels of cover, so it's important to compare policies to find one that best suits your pet's needs and your budget.
Just like us, pets can get sick or injured and need medical attention. Unlike us, they can’t tell us when something is wrong. And if they do get sick or injured, vet bills can get quite expensive – that’s where pet insurance can help cover the cost. So, pet insurance can go a long way in protecting your pet (and your back pocket) if the unexpected happens.
Pet insurance typically covers a wide range of medical expenses for covered conditions. For example, vet visits, blood tests, imaging, emergency care for injuries, prescription medication, etc. With Buddy Pet Insurance, you can claim up to 70%, 80% or 90% of eligible vet bills, with up to $11,000, $20,000 or $35,000 cover per year (depending on the level of cover). It’s important to review your policy documents to understand the specifics and any applicable excesses.
Yes, with Buddy Pet Insurance you can visit any vet (other than yourself) that is registered to legally practise in Australia.
