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.

Good coverage / easy process
Good coverage and easy process to follow to get the benefit. Just a couple of emails, calls or follow ups in the vet office aloud to get paid in 7 days tops.

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.

Prompt & Easy!
When my dog had surgery to remove a toe, I submitted the invoices and paperwork online and within days our rebate was paid. No questions & no issues.
We have now been with PIA for a few years and would highly recommend them to any pet owner. Problems arise and it’s good to know that you are covered for any issue - major or minor....

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.

YEARS and YEARS paying THOUSANDS and RIPPED OFF
Pet Insurance Australia.....(PIA)
It is a farce that you charge excess per condition especially necessary euthanasia. I never knew that after paying you mob THOUSANDS of dollars, YES thousands for 3 dogs that when my best mate had to go to sleep I got hooked for another $200. At a minimum excess should be waved for long term customers when euthanasia is required. I will be "outing" you lot on Social Media because I believe that most of your very loyal customers such as myself dont realise your clever wording is per condition.....HIGHWAY ROBBERY. February will be my last month with you muppets, im taking my hard earned dollar elsewhere

Spinal surgery - quick reimbursement
I have had my dog insured with PIA for 2 or 3 years and I've never had to make a claim for my little one, she's always been so healthy! However, she recently had some slipped discs and became paralysed in her hind legs. Surgery was $7K and PIA were great, Pocket has the major medical cover as she is a big dog and wanted to make sure she was covered for any big dog issues, 80% of my bills were reimbursed within 3 weeks after making the claim. I don't like that it must be paid upfront but there are no pet insurers that do that and PIA, compared t...Read more

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!!

Questions & Answers
Felicity A.asked
Hi there, do your policy cover hip dysplasia, elbow dylplasia and patella luxation?
2 answers
Yes, as far as I know, as long as it wasn't a pre -existing condition.
PIA Management P.Pet Insurance Australia
Hi Felicity, we certainly do cover for these conditions in the illness section of your policy, as long as there are no prior symptoms to taking out the policy. The cover for these conditions will be subjected to caps and limits.
All of our claims are looked at on an individual basis, however, if a condition has shown signs or symptoms prior to coverage, than it may be excluded as a pre-existing condition. A pre-existing condition may be reviewed 18 months after the policy has been kept and may possibly covered, provided it has shown no signs or symptoms within this time.
After this timeframe if you wish to have the condition reviewed we do have a Pre-existing Condition review form further information can be found in our Product Disclosure Statement on page 25 under “Pre-Existing condition review”. I hope this has answered your questions. Would you like me to have a PIA Policy Expert reach out? Thanks, have a great day.
