Peace of mind
Great value insurance policy for our beloved family dog. The claim process is easy and quick - which was so comforting when a paralysis tick took hold. Thank you PIA for taking some of the stress away.

Very easy and good service
Our cats have been with PIA for over 2 years now - IMO they are fairly priced, and when we have had to put a claim through it was really easy and the process went relatively smoothly. I couldn't recommend PIA enough, especially after all the visits to a specialist we had to take one of our cats to.

Cruciate TPLO
I found the claim took a long time over a month. I kept getting letters in the mail asking for info which wasnt actually needed and a phone call would have been easier! They only paid for the surgery no pre or post consults which are needed and should have been claimable. The customer service people are nice though and the premium is well priced. I wont switch but think perhaps some limits on services need to be addressed as it doesnt cover the full procedure from start to finish.

Excellent Service
I've had to claim on my insurance for my dog twice, and both times the claiming process has been easy to understand and a quick response. I got my money back within a few weeks and had no issues at all.

efficient administration
We had to make 2 claims in the past year and both were dealt with efficiently and fairly.
The only quibble is the request for online reporting, which the vote overcame for us.

Amazing!
When I was looking for pet insurance I chose PIA because they had the best reviews.
I signed my pup up when she was 10 weeks old. At 5 months she got sick and we had to make two claims within two weeks already. I got my money back the week after for both!
I highly recommend them!

Such peace of mind.
I have had both my Shelties insured with PIA for some years and have made a few large claims. My most recent claim of $12,000 was pre-approved for gap cover, which was a huge relief. I did not have $12,000 to pay the vet bill up front and I am so grateful this option was available. Every claims process has been hassle free and the refund is always in my bank account quickly. I will definitely continue to insure with PIA.

Would not use any other insurance company
I have been using Pet Insurance Australia for both of my dogs for nearly 10 years. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. As a matter of fact, I have recommended them to a lot of people. So far they have been easy to deal with and all my eligible claims, from elbow dysplasia surgery to stereotactic radio therapy, have been paid for no questions asked and now they got even better with gap only.

Saved us when the unexpected happened...
We have had our policy for 12 months and although it's not all been smooth sailing when we did have a serious issue with our dog and there was a substantial claim, PIA were efficient and helpful and paid out almost immediately.

They put up my premium by 24% in one year!!!!
I have a 14month old puppy and we took out pet insurance with PIA in her first year. In that year we had 1 vet visit and then when it came around to renewing our policy I got hit with a 24% increase and was not even notified! It was only due to the fact that I saw the expense hit my account. When I called to ask why the increase was so much I was told it was due to my dogs age ....UMMMMMM 14months???!!! Extremely strange and extortion if you ask me. I have cancelled my insurance and have gone else where. Beware the yearly premium increases!!

Hi Lucy. I'm sorry to hear of this and I'd like to have a supervisor reach out if you would like? The first-year increase is normally due to a promotional period falling off (like three or two months ... Read more

Really disappointed with Premium increases.
We have had our cat insured with Pet Insurance Australia for 10 years. In the 10 years our cat has been insured with Pet Insurance Australia we have made two claims against his policy, each for around $350.
Last year his total monthly instalment was $63.64 and now it has jumped to a total monthly of $88.69. This is a 40% increase in just 12 months
We have always accepted that policies increase from year to year, but a 40% increase in 12 months is simply outrageous, especially without any discernible reason as to why.
We lodged a complaint with ...Read more

responsive & quick & painless claim
My 4 years old retriever who has been with Pet Insurance Australia since she was 2 months old and we have had to make claims and getting reimbursed for majority of her vet works. She had 2 cruciate ligaments surgeries recently and both were covered by the insurance up to a certain limit & claiming is quite easy and quick turnaround to have the reimbursement back to our account.
The call centre are great to deal with and we are quite happy with them and has recommended them to our friends & families.

Fantastic Company, Incredibly Impressed with PIA Service
I have two beautiful Frenchies insured with PIA, and have had to make a couple of claims over the past year. PIA have always been incredibly customer focused, clear and concise with their requirements around the claims and I was very satisfied with the time frame around settlement of the claim. Whenever I have had to call to speak with someone, I have found the customer service people very friendly and knowledgable over the phone, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend PIA to any pet owner.

Questions & Answers
Fionaasked
I have the Comprehensive cover for my Dachshund since the beginning of February 2022 and I wanted to know if IVDD is covered if my dog has not shown any signs prior commencement or recently?
2 answers
Hi Fiona just call them and ask them..
PIA Management P.Pet Insurance Australia
Hi Fiona. IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) is generally coverable under the illness portion of the policy.
The policy does not cover any Pre-existing conditions prior to the policy commencement or any signs or symptoms that have occurred during the Waiting period.
IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) is also excluded on any accidental injury cover (so make sure you read the PDS and ensure you understand exactly what your precious pups are covered for and what your policy allows - you can find this here - https://www.petinsuranceaustralia.com.au/important-notices/
PIA's assessment of known issues with specific breeds (e.g. bad backs) are taken into account in the premium calculation. IVDD is covered in our Major Medical Policy. Hope this helps.
