Pet Insurance for Illness Cover

Pet Insurance with Illness Cover in Australia

Taking the time to think about pet insurance with illness cover, how it could be beneficial, and why it’s necessary for your pets, is very important. As much as we try to bury these thoughts, our pets are just like us – from time to time they suffer from health issues and need medical attention.

At Petplan, we meet a lot of pet owners who all agree with us in saying that pet insurance for illness is a necessity. Our vast number of insurance policies mean that we’re able to find the perfect plan for every pet without breaking the bank.

What Does Petplan’s Pet Insurance for Illness Cover?

Our pet insurance plans vary from pet to pet. We understand that every pet is different in one way or another and as such, we make a point of adapting our plans to work around the pet (rather than the other way around).

For this reason, pinpointing what your exact coverage would be prior to a consultation is difficult. We have to take into account:

The type of pet you have (e.g. cat, dog, horse, etc.)
Existing health conditions
Your pet’s age

You can see a more detailed breakdown of our plans on our policies page, but remember that the final quote will vary.
