Double dipping

published

On joining they tell you at a certain age cover will be reduce to 80% payout as an example. They don’t say they’ll ALSO increase the premium astronomically. What was $80pm is now $180pm. For 1 animal and I have 2. It’s now more expensive than my own private health cover, life, disability and income protection combined. Not to mention now if I want to shift I am stuck because any pre existing conditions are carved out by a new insurer. So basically you have to cancel. Don’t be fooled by their “caring” ads.

Great Service and prompt payment of claims

published

I first insured my little dog (Buddy) in 2012 and up until his passing on 30th December 2022 the service that I received from Petplan was excellent. After Buddy's passing, at my request the policy was cancelled and a refund for the outstanding premium was paid into my account within two days. I now have another fur baby (Millie) and had no hesitation in insuring her with Petplan due to my previous experiences with Buddy's insurance.

So glad I went with Pet Plan.

published

When I purchased my puppy in February I did lots of research. I was a bit skeptical about Petplan due to some negative reviews and comments re delays in processing claims. Thank god I trusted my gut and went with them. At 10 months of age my puppy needed major surgery. They were so helpful, kind and understanding. I submitted my claims (there were many!) and all were processed within 3 working days. Brilliant customer service. They maybe a bit more expensive than others but as the saying goes you pay peanuts and get monkeys

So easy, no fuss

published

I have made several claims through Petplan, including a very expensive one - $14,000 all up. Petplan has never caused me any problems and have paid money direct to my vet so I did not have to pay up front after initial costs over $150. Very happy

Was a lifesaver to have this insurance

published

We have been with PetPlan since our dog was a new puppy. Petplan promptly covered the expenses incurred for knee replacement surgery and post surgery (physio and hydrotherapy) recovery. The Policy was a lifesaver. Whilst not cheap, it has certainly been worth it in the long run. Thanks

Easy & fast claims

We have been with Pet Plan for nearly 3 years. Whilst the premium is a little more than other insurers- the pay off is an efficient claim process with a minimal fixed excess. We have made two claims, both settled within 7 days. Awesome value

Best cover.High Integrity company

published

The policy was set up with the breeder, we just had to start paying after 1 month, so set up was easy.
Unfortunately we have had to make several claims and they were resolved within a week. Petplan is simple and easy to engage with
We have had Gus insured since 6weeks old so about 2 and a half years now

Such a relief

published

My dog has been insured since he was born. The breeder insured the whole litter with the option for the new owners to continue the policy. A diagnosis of lymphoma was made less stressful knowing Petplan is supporting his treatments. All claims are reviewed and dealt with promptly.

Peace of mind during emergency vet visits

published

We have two middle-aged Labradors who have needed emergency veterinary procedures several times during the past 6 years. We have had Petplan insurance for both of the dogs since they were puppies and have never had to worry about being able to afford the vet fees.
The claims have been always paid promptly and fairly.
I would recommend all pet owners insure their pets for their peace of mind.

Husband describes it as "marriage insurance"!

published

I've been delighted with the service. All claims have been resolved promptly and with no issues and very few gaps on expenses, so ends up being great value. We've made multiple claims for both pets ranging from joint issues (with rehab) to allergies and various other illnesses and have had no issues from PetPlan when a claim is submitted. I've been with PetPlan for nearly 7 years and would highly recommend them to anyone. My vet recommended them to me and I'm so glad they did! It takes the stress out of treatment options knowing PetPlan are there to help ease the burden so I'm able to focus on what's most important - looking after my fur babies!

My dog was recently diagnosed with Elbow Dysplasia which was unexpected and upsetting. But Petplan has covered all of her expenses so far and have made a stressful situation so much easier. I highly recommend Petplan.

Our french bulldog has a few health issues (blood in stool, skin allergies) and we've had quite a number of visits to the vet. It's a good thing we have Pet Plan to cover all the vet bills.

Horrible

published

I’ve had a horrible encounter with Petplan too. I bought a purebred kitten and came with six weeks pet insurance. Two weeks after I bought her she developed skin condition, I submitted my claim but it was “lost” or they said it wasn’t received. I had to re-email my details multiple times and eventually submit a complaint to get my case looked at months later. I finally get the email back and it says I’m not eligible for any money back. Despite not getting money back, it would have been nice to know this months ago.

Dealing with Petplan is very annoying - they are very unprofessional!

published

Most of the claims I lodge to Petplan get lost. I have even tried sending them by mail that requires a signature as proof of delivery - this does not help. It is not unusual to have to lodge claims 3 times before they acknowledge receipt of them. They send me texts to say they have received a claim from me but don’t tell me what it’s for or for which of my dogs it relates to. Even after they send the text the claim still goes missing ie I hear nothing further. My husband is now taking claims directly to their offices in Tullamarine. If they do pay a claim they don’t always let me know. I can often not get through to them on the phone. I have sent emails asking them to call me with no reply.

Great coverage with few exclusions, very speedy claim assessment and payments. First time using pet insurance and from here on in will never be without it again, takes the financial stress away when your loved pet is sick.
