Pet Insurance

You love your pet so , you´ll want to give the best possible care you can afford. And you´ll want to choose an insurance policy that matures with your "best friend" as it goes on in life. Our pet care insurance gives all this and so much more.

We offer two levels of cover - Exclusive + Premium - These benefits are fixed and can´t be altered.

EXCLUSIVE - is a lifetime cover whereby the benefits are reinstated annually. As long as you renew the policy and pay the required premium, the policy will reinstate the maximum level of bebefit even for ongoing and recurring conditions .

PREMIUM - is a 12 month capped policy. The benefit will reduce in the event of a claim until the limit is exhausted. Cover will continue for ongoing conditions for 12 months starting from the date of injury or first clinical signs of illness. This is providing you renew your policy but always within the policy year. Further claims for any ongoing conditions will be excluded at renewal.
