Extremely satisfied with both staff and service

My payment for our dog's treatment came through at the same time Pet Insurance was getting a bad wrap by Choice. I couldn't disagree more with Choice. PIA proved to be excellent value for money.

Thanks, Regnault for taking the time to write a review and for voicing your feelings regarding Choice, it was rather sad that they didn't speak with more pet insurance clients. Have a great day.

Great fast service and cover. Thanks!

My beloved Cavvy recently had to have MRI and treatment for a suspected stroke/neurological issue. I sought pre-approval before the procedure, and received a postive response very quickly. The whole online claim and refund process was effortless and really helped knowing that it wouldn't be stressful. Very happy with the service and cover.

Great help with our budget rather than going into debt.

Policy is good value and good back up when the vet bills come in. Not being able to insure a pet once they turn 9 years isn't good as this is when the bills really start.

Trustworthy - this company delivers.

A must have. Outstanding customer service - above and beyond expectation.

Only had the policy for about 6 months when my dog shattered his elbow in an accident. They paid 80% of the treatment and ongoing cost promptly and to the cent, no questions asked. Also happy to deal directly with the Vetinary surgeon, didn't even need to make the claim myself.

Highly recommend!!!

Terrible customer service. A pain to submit a claim.

published

I have been with PIA since April 2018. My two year old boxer has only been to the vet for being spayed, vaccinations and flea/tick/worm tablets. I have had to submit a claim for an injury and keep getting repetitive messages to submit vet history when PIA has all the documentations regarding spaying, vaccinations and tablets. The customer service representatives are unhelpful and just re-read what you can already see on the portal. They do not transfer you to anyone in the claims department and I am currently on a very long "hold" to speak with a supervisor. Very disappointed. I do not want to have to keep calling every few days to chase up a claim especially when all the documentation has been provided.

Wouldn't be without it!!

published

I have been with Pet Insurance Australia since my first dog was 6 months old. I will never be without it. I have full cover, accident plus illness, my dog who was having bad recurring ear infections got his bilateral zeps procedure which has now stopped the infections. My youngest dog now 2.5 this year was hit by a car and everything was covered. She got a bit wobly a few months ago and the vets treated her for expected tick and I received 80% back of everything I had to spend as it was under the $1000 max tick claim. I'm always pleasantly surprised at what I get back as opposed to being surprised that they don't cover enough. I recommend them to everyone who has pets

Just a mistake

published

I was with Pet Insurance for 1 year, but it was such a big nightmare with claims process and indian customer service.. the last drop was when i called them a week ago to say "i want to cancel my policy because my premium just went up to 88$/a month (10$more) and I've got a second dog now to pay for", so they said "our cancellation department is super busy right now, they will call you withing 2 days".... almost a week later, I'm receiving an email saying "your policy has being cancelled "...
No phone call, no trying to "hey we ve got for you different options/plan"...

Happy customer

published

Policy was easy to set up and I love the fact that claims can be made online. Dog needed surgery (and X-rays and bandage changes, etc.) and PIA paid, no questions asked. I called them once or twice to check something about the policy and was answered in a kind and professional manner. I'm very glad I went with this company. Would definitely recommend.

Great Value for Money

They are great value for money and have a very quick and easy online claims process. All you need to do is upload all the applicable documents for your claim and once approved (happens quickly) your claim will be paid (also happens quickly!).

A must needed product

published

Policy is good value, policy was very easy to set up, customer service is good however there is a few things this company need to put in place. I have had a claim in for 4 weeks now they need more documents if I didn't ring up to see where it was it would have kept sitting there. However most of the time it's a quick turn over.

You'll just end up having to call and call and call!

I took out their major medical after my pup broke his leg. I was completely aware that this would be 'pre-existing' but wanted insurance in case something else ever happens. He was 7 months he he broke it.
I had him desexed during his surgery to fix his arm. The desexing was covered ($50 out of $250 worth). Anyway...6 weeks later and I have not seen any reimbursement and am simply calling and calling but there's always another form or document asked for before it can be processed. I don't care about the $50, it's now just the principle of the matter.
Terrible company...whishing I chose someone else!

Scottish shorthair good cover

Claimed alot of the first year kitten expenses and got most of it back. I did pay extra for no excess but for the peace of mind was happy to fork out extra per month for that. Good so far but apart from the usual checkup may be a bit expensive for some. Very easy to setup and calling the call center wasn't too bad as well.
