The cover your puppy needs

What’s covered?

You can relax, knowing exactly what your puppy is covered for. Your policy covers these common illnesses and types of treatment, with no Sub-limits and an annual excess that’s only payable once per year.

What’s not covered?

We tell you upfront exactly what’s not covered in your policy, so you won’t have any surprises later. If you’re not sure about pre-existing symptoms and conditions, let one of our helpful team do a check for you.

The younger a puppy is when you first insure them, the less likely they are to have pre-existing symptoms and conditions (which will benefit you as your puppy gets older).

Pre-existing symptoms and conditions

This is any symptom or condition that was present before you took out the policy, and before the end of any relevant exclusion period. No insurer will cover pre-existing symptoms and conditions, but we will take a closer look and possibly include them back in your policy under certain circumstances. Talk to us about this.

Billy and Jerry (his rescue ragdoll)

I took out insurance with Pet Circle late last year for my one year old rescue Ragdoll, Jerry and I'm very glad I did. I'm an anxious pet parent at the best of times, and he is our very special furbaby! Jerry had a few stomach issues and having insurance meant we didn't think twice about taking him to the Vet. We were able to give him the care he needed without worrying about what it might cost us. Pet Circle insurance were really easy to deal with and my claim was paid super quickly.

Manis and Pique (her Bluey)

Pique (my Bluey) and I used to get our insurance from another company. Many people warned me about the pre-existing conditions assessment when I decided to switch. But since moving to Pet Circle, we've seen significant savings. We now only pay our $150 excess once per year - with our last provider, it was $200 for every single claim! Vet visits are no longer a worry. Thanks, Pet Circle Insurance!

$10,000 $17,500 $30,000 Choose your Annual Limit carefully as it cannot be increased after your policy has started. You can decrease your Annual Limit at any time though. Unsure on what annual limit to choose? Check out common claims and vet costs here.

Choose between: 70%, 80% or 90% The percentage back % is the amount you will receive back after a claim Below are examples for each option. Example 1: Percentage back 70% Claims cost = $1,000 We pay = $700 You pay = $300 Example 2: Percentage back 80% Claims cost = $1,000 We pay = $800 You pay = $200 Example 3: Percentage back 90% Claims cost = $1,000 We pay = $900 You pay = $100

An excess is the amount you pay first after you claim. We only ask for an excess once per year. Most other insurers require you to pay excess per claim or per condition. Example: $150 annual excess (percentage back of 80%) For your first claim:
  • Claimed vet costs: $1,000
  • (Less) Annual excess: $150
  • We pay: $680 (80% of $1,000 - $150)
  • You pay: $320
For all other claims during the same period of insurance:
  • Claimed vet costs: $1,000
  • (Less) Annual excess: $0
  • We pay: $800 (80% of $1,000)
  • You pay: $200
