Buddy Pet Insurance was created with the insurance needs of Australian pet-parents and their fur-besties in mind. Not only do we offer pet insurance, but we also provide reliable support and expert-led resources to help you care for your devoted dog and curious cat. Plus, we’re committed to supporting Australia’s animal welfare organisations – building happier, healthier animal communities.
For more than 14 years, the team behind Buddy has been a trusted leader in the Australian pet insurance industry, helping dog and cat owners across the country protect their beloved pets, with over 208,000 dogs and cats insured. To date, our products have supported millions of claims, reimbursing Australian pet owners with over $788 million.
Our commitment to animal welfare drives everything we do, which is why we’ve proudly partnered with respected organisations like RSPCA Australia (14 years) and Guide Dogs Australia (8 years). These partnerships have resulted in over $24 million collectively flowing directly to these organisations, helping support emergency responses, including the SA Black Friday bushfires, as well as raising awareness and championing the wellbeing of animals across the country.
We’re on a mission to help protect your four-legged friend while making a real difference in the lives of animals across the country. Our goal is to help protect dogs and cats so they can receive the care they deserve while also supporting Australia’s animal welfare organisations and charities.
Through our Giving Program, we’re committed to providing $1 million support to various organisations and registered charities that make a meaningful difference in the Australian animal welfare community. This funding helps support a variety of causes, including animal shelters, scholarship programs for aspiring vets and vet nurses, and research initiatives to improve animal wellbeing.
Our Giving Program supports animal welfare organisations across Australia.
