Happy
Recently my dog had to visit a specialist centre to have an airway surgery. I claimed through GapOnly - it was quick and efficient. It left me to pay the left over balance which is a great stress reliever to not have to pay the full amount and wait for reimbursement.
I have never had any issues or complaints when claiming through my insurance.
I would 100% recommend GapOnly and Bow Wow Meow!

Amazing service and support
Bow Wow have been a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately we have had to use this policy more then we ever would have liked but I must say Bow Wow has been amazing. Fast refunds and now with our vet having gap only option is great
Thanks to all the team at Bow Wow

Brilliant to deal with.
I always recommend Bow Wow Meow pet insurance when asked. They are very easy to deal with, and provide excellent value for money. I wish I had my first dog insured with them too.

Paid as promised.
We covered our young pup for accident and illness and we CHOSE to be covered for 70% of vet expenses - although you must be sure to read and understand any exclusions, caps and yearly limits. When our pup became gravely ill, only a matter of months after taking out insurance, that is exactly what BWM paid, to the cent. . We were kept informed, the claims lodged on our behalf by the vet and the whole process was very reassuring and smooth. No quibbling, no arguments.
Given our recent experience, we would very happily recommend Bow Wow Meow.

Peace of Mind
Paddington is almost 11 and we have always had health insurance for him. It gives us peace of mind and means we can always provide him with the best care. We’ve submitted a claim on three occasions and have received, fair, expedient and empathetic service from Bow Wow Meow, for which I am sincerely grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners.

So glad I my pet was covered
I have been very happy with the cover I have received through Bow Wow Meow insurance. My dog developed a form of skin cancer and the policy has covered her chemotherapy which would otherwise have been a heavy financial burden in our family. Claims have been rapidly processed and the link to vet computer systems makes making a claim easy.

Peace of mind bow meow wow. All pets deserved to be loved and to receive the best medical care for illness and injury.
My maltese shitzu jack russell needed orthopaedic surgery on his leg due to an injury. Bow meow wow were great as they approved the major surgery in around one and a half hours. The surgery was done by chris preston at pet emergency and specialist centre at malvern. I insured charlie as soon as I got him as a pup. I chose bow meow wow because it is owned and operated by vets .
I chose peace of mind insurance no excess and 80 % back so I could always give my boy the best medical treatment available . Every pet deserves the best care available ...Read more

Really good cover, easy to claim, prompt service
I haven't had pet insurance before, but bought this policy last year for my mini Schnauzer puppy Roisin. Unexpectedly she needed a procedure and surgery in February this year. Although it wasn't a big operation it cost in the thousands and I was glad I took out the 80% cover, no excess option. Claiming was easy through the website. I highly recommend this cover, and advise people to read details of all policies carefully when choosing which insurer and which cover option. Really happy I took it out, the premium isn't cheap but well worth it and I will definitely keep this policy going for the life of my beloved pup.

Not far from perfect!
Easy to set up, easy to lodge, time company needs for processing the claims is alright (could
be under 14 days... especially with big sums)
Been with the company for a year now, just insured my second puppy
It is very expensive but compared to other Insurances you at least pay back claims, heaps of companies refuse it.
We once had an issue and we called to discuss and it turned out very good at the end. Thanks for that!

Thanks for the review Amanda. There were a few delays due to the Covid-19 situation, however, we are now operating at full capacity again so I am sure claim processing will be better if you claim again.
Totally alright. The claim I was talking about was adt Year and it was a very big sum.. but that’s fine. All good. You guys are not far from perfect!

Seriously great pet insurance company!
My dog ingested foreign object requiring urgent medical attention. We first took him to the vet followed with overnight stay in Animal Emergency. Few days after submitting the claim, BWM processed the claim as per the policy without delay. We can't thank enough for your continuous commitment to your customer despite the corona pandemic situation we are all facing right now. Thank you for your top notch service! I have since recommended BWM to our family friends.

Has been a great ‘peace of mind’ to be covered.
It has been a very easy process to setup my pets cover from the beginning and to make claims. The claims are taking 1 to 2 weeks once lodged by my vet, directly to Bow Wow on my behalf. The benefits are as advertised, 80% of the bills, up to the limit allowed. I have had cover for just 1 year, with my fur baby having several issues in the last few months, all have been covered.

Glad I have it, but...
Glad that the accident policy covers 80% of emergency costs. Appreciate they included injested items because that's what my dog did and we needed over 1000 worth of costs covered. Would prefer if they did direct payment to the vet and we pay the difference rather than reimbursing because it took a few weeks to get the cheque back.

Nick L.asked
hi my cat has been in and out of the vet this week due to diarrhea. she is currently at the vet specialist getting ultra sound and in depth check up. just wondering is she still qualify for per insurance for later on, once she has recovered from this? im just worried about her in the future visit for the vet.
thanks in advance

Hi nick
It depends what the outcome is tbh. Ofc she can still be covered by an insurance but if she has a lasting illness it will be declared as “pre existing” and when she will have it again, they won’t cover it. But that’s just for that one single illness, nothing else.
If she just has a bug or fever it’s all good.
Good luck.
It depends which insurance cover you have and how much it covers for a year..mine is about 9000 a year
Bow Wow M.Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance
Thanks Amanda and Hi Nick. Nick, your cat does qualify for accident and illness cover if your cat is between the ages of 8 weeks and 9 years of age. Also, Amanda is correct regarding the pre-existing condition. If it is considered a pre-existing condition, it means that your policy will exclude cover for that condition or anything related to that condition (whatever that condition is). We do have a clause in our policies that say you can apply to get the pre-existing condition waived after 18 months of continuous cover as long as there are no longer any signs of that condition. Hope this answers your question.

Bow Wow M.Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance
Hi Sophie, so long as you have an the Illness policy and it is not a pre-existing condition (or a condition found within the 30 day waiting period), it is generally covered. If you would like a pre-authorisation form, please email [email protected] for this as it is likely an expensive surgery. Many thanks.
