Appalling customer service
When I initially signed up our two dogs for insurance, the service over the phone was exceptional ... and that was the end of exceptional service. I submitted a claim for my dog a couple of months ago and received a letter requesting more history. I replied immediately by email, attaching the necessary documents. That was three weeks ago. Today, I receive another letter saying that if we don't supply the information within seven days, the claim will be finalised and not processed. That letter only arrived today (20 January 2020) and was da...Read more
ted 23 December 2022 (I had emailed them on 1 January 2020). Tonight, I sent them my original email along with a request that they respond immediately to acknowledge receipt as we are desperate for the reimbursement. Three weeks to wait for a reimbursement, without any acknowledgement is appalling. Although it's probably a good tactic if they want to encourage people not to submit claims. I'm hoping to receive a response ASAP but I won't hold my breath. They have a habit of responding with a generic email that clearly indicates they are not responding to specific concerns.

Reasonable with good service
Our policy was fair value. It was easy to set up. Being our first claim we had to send in our dog's full veterinary history which took some organizing. Once we did this the claim was resolved within 2 weeks .
We took out the policy within the last 6 months and we are pleased with the service.

getting too expensive
I thing that the amount I get back for my dog does not warrant the expense
I would be better putting aside $80 a month and saving it for any Vet expenses.
I think I would be way ahead $960-1000

It allows us to provide the best of care for Max
Very good value, the young lady who signed us up was very patient and helpful in explaining the benefits of the pet insurance.
The returns to the claims was in reasonable time.
We have been in senior insurance for approximately 9 months.

I compared several polices and decided Australian Seniors best suited my needs; the price was slightly better than the three other providers I considered, and also the cover was better.

Essential, Value, Efficiency
I compared pet insurance for new puppy. Seniors Pet Insurance was my choice. I also transferred my older dog to Seniors Pet Insurance so they are both insured by same provider. I did not expect an accident so soon into the policy, yet claim has been expedient. We will stick with this policy for life, and thank you.

Provides peace of mind.
I appreciate the ease with which I could set up all necessary insurance details; and lodge claims online. Feedback about the processing of claims was timely and useful.
Hefty Vet fees can be an unexpected strain on a monthly budget, so having insurance provides a way of covering costs across the year. Thank you

Need to experience it yet, pending
All good and seems reasonable.
The assistance by phone was good, expect to be very truthful, the girl sounded like she was "singing" the
details for the policy, while older people like to be addressed in a slower and clear way and not sound like a recording. The most important thing is that the person shows some humanity and sound REAL.

May or may not renew my policy when the time comes
First claim - much paperwork needed but got there in the end. Second claim denied (as a sore ear months before deemed pre-existing), third claim denied as dental work not covered apparently. I should have read every word of the fine, fine print I imagine (my fault). I will consider whether ongoing policy is worth it when renewal comes through. Yes, I can appeal but let's face it, its a lot of my time and you never beat an insurer...

Do you have third party liability insurance
1 answer
Customer RelationsAustralian Seniors
Hi Sture.E,
Thank you for your question. To be eligible to take out our insurance, you need to be the primary carer of the pet and the pet does need to reside with you. We don't offer third party liability insurance.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your query. To qualify for cover, the accidental injury must have occurred during the policy period and result in snake bite toxicity. We do not currently charge an excess for any of our pet insurance policies. If you would like to discuss this further, please send me a private message with your best contact number and I will arrange for one of our team members to contact you.
Kind regards,
Jessica
Hi Michael,
I think you have got your answers, snake bite is covered and there is no excess. The full policy can be found online. For more information phone 1300 794 915, Regards Lyn
