Welcome to the joys of having a dog in the family!
Having a dog in the family can be a real joy, but it’s also a big responsibility that can be costly over your pet’s lifetime – more than $25,000, according to the AVA’s Family Pooch Index. Unforeseen costs, such as major veterinary treatment for emergencies and degenerative diseases, can also be prohibitively expensive, and if you don’t have pet insurance, these costs may even be beyond your means.
Pet insurance can be a life saver
Being faced with the prospect of euthanasia due to financial reasons is not something anyone would want to go through. But if you take out Petsecure pet insurance you’ll have a measure of security knowing that your vet bills can be managed and your furry friend will receive the treatment and care they need at every stage of their life.
When can I insure my dog or puppy?
You can cover your dog from as early as eight weeks old, but no later than nine years old for our Accident & Illness Cover. Once covered, they will continue to be covered for the rest of their lives, as long as your premiums have been kept up to date without a lapse or change in circumstances, and as long as we continue to offer the product.
Pre-existing conditions are illnesses or injuries that an animal develops prior to being insured, or during the waiting period.
Whether a condition is pre-existing will depend on its nature and experience. If your pet has a temporary condition that has not existed, occurred or shown noticeable signs, symptoms or an abnormality in the 18-month period immediately prior to your claim treatment date, it will no longer be excluded from cover as a pre-existing condition.
Chronic Conditions and several other specified Conditions cannot fall within this category.
You can find out more about pre-existing conditions and other exclusions here.
Puppies are adventurous, so you never know when they might need a vet. Having pet insurance in place from an early age means they’ll be covered no matter what life throws at them.
