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.

Both of my dogs have been with PIA for a few years now. We have always received great service. Whenever anything happens I am glad I have this peace of mind that I can concentrate on my dogs well being and the financial side is been taken care of by PIA.

Our pets recently arrived from overseas and I selected PIA for medical cover. Our one dog developed cruciate ligament problems within 4 months of arriving in Australia. Fortunately I had paid for the cruciate ligament checks and had a waiting period waiver on file, nevertheless on a quote of 8000 dollars for a bilateral surgery, we were grateful that PIA approved the surgery as they could have asked us to do one at a time over two years. This would have meant two surgeries and recovery periods. Our pet is recovering nicely and I just want to thank PIA for the professional caring service. You guys rock!

Been with PIA for over two years. First claim told to submit vet notes assumed this was for the claim but no the vet has to supply over two years of the dogs history. This claim has been active for over a month and still not result. Than a $200 excess. So I have been with Woolworths Pet Insurance and they pay claims within a month and do not expect the vet to supply the animals whole history from day dot. They do ask the vet has the animal been admitted for the same previously so simple and does the same job. And they do not have a $200 excess

I Insured with them for 'Unexpected veterinary expenses' and they will not pay up.
I've payed hard earned money to do the right thing for my beloved dog when she ends up in the vet to listen to 'Pet Insurance Australia' tell me that this claim is a grey area and they will not pay.
I now have to take my case to 'AFCA' Australian Financial Complaints Authority for them to get the money out of them.
They have very poor communications also to over seas call centre.
AFCA gave me a number for the Sydney office of 'Pet Insure' which is there underlying insured and they wanted nothing to do with it transferring me back to the call centre.

Made a claim after our Doberman fractured a part of his foot and the claim was quickly and seamlessly processed. The service I have received from PIA over the last three years has been great and they have always provided me with a competitive quote.

Extremely poor service. Would not recommend to anyone at all ever. Steer clear. I would never sign up to this insurance again. What a complete waste of time and money.

Dog got to rat poison, thought we might not be covered but were and received over $900 back. Between that and the other couple of incidents our puppy has had we are up fo the next couple of years. There are some exclusions that are sure to get you/us at some point but that have come through so far.

The excess I found rather confusing, and I don't think I've put in for every claim simply because I assumed that the excess would either be more than the claim, or was considered an excess on something that hasn't been claimed before, therefore a new ailment/injury where you have to pay the first initial excess (which is confusing in itself), or because the claim included the word/s tooth or teeth, then it was 'all over red rover' if it had those words in the claim. The claim process is easy, because it's all online and you just scan and attach the invoice/receipt, although, having to ring the vet for extra notes is a pain, and should be explanatory enough in the wording on the invoice/receipt.

We foster failed Leo in May 2022 and in August, finally got around to extending my policy to now include two dogs and a cat! One month later, Leo had a bowel obstruction requiring emergency surgery. He has made a full recovery but it was incredibly scary for the whole family and adding a huge vet bill would have been the last thing we needed. Our payout was paid within days and they have since touched base to check on his recovery. I am very happy with PIA and wouldn't want to be without it.

very strange way of calculating excess!!
spent $270 on emergency vet consultations, the excess is $200 and got merely $12 back!! Called for explanation and they insist they are right very well well done for money grab and I am out.

Having never had pet insurance for my other pets, I wasn't convinced that I should have it for our rescue pup. Every year as renewal came round I considered cancelling. Fortunately I didn't! My boy ended up with a bowel perforation, followed by post-op complications and then further surgery. October was a horror month. I submitted the first half of the claim online, which was very easy to do. The claim was processed without any issue in a short time. The second half of the claim took a little longer but still in a perfectly acceptable time (<2 weeks). I would definitely recommend it

I have been with PIA for my staffy for about 5 years and have made numerous claims as my dog ended having a lot of health issues. PIA makes it super easy to lodge a claim and is so prompt with paying my claims. Makes it extremely stress free. Thank you PIA! I would be in a world of financial stress without you.

Hello I called earlier today to cancel this policy and I was told I will get a call back to complete the process. I did Not get a call back. Can you please cancel this policy asap and confirm with reply once done. Thank you

Very happy with the response times regarding payback with claims, the vets did all the claim. It helped financially especially with an older dog after quite a big op. We got most of the money back which was helpful as it was an expensive op.

The current inflation rate is 1.9% and wages growth for 2022 is 2.3%, yet somehow Pet Insurance Australia decided they were justified in raising my annual premium by 72% over 2 years. This forced me to cancel my policy and switch insurers leaving our leaving our pup uninsured against illness for a 30 day waiting period. We made 1 (fully justified) claim during that period as my pups eye was injured in an incident with another dog. We were paid $100. This was also a difficult process to go through. I would avoid PIA.

My dog has had two cruciate ligament tears (back left knee and back right knee) in the last couple of years. In both cases, the claim was paid within a few weeks and covered a significant amount of my quite large vert surgery bills!
