Best Dog Insurance Australia

Petplan Provides the Best Dog Insurance in Australia

Dogs have been domesticated for many thousands of years, and somehow after all this time, they seem to just be growing on us even more. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but the truth is that a dog is the centre of an entire family.

Our homes and hearts simply feel empty without the pitter patter of canine feet (big or small), and there really is nothing quite like coming home to an overexcited pooch after a long day at work. While we are sure most families would adopt dogs if they could afford them, vet bills are still one of the primary reasons why more dogs don't have homes.

Even more shocking, statistics suggest that 10% of the dogs put down in the country every year are euthanised because their owners aren’t able to afford mounting vet bills. This is an eye-opening statistic that we hope we will be able to change with our affordable dog insurance in Australia.
