What is accident only pet insurance?
To put it simply, accident only pet insurance covers the cost of treatment if your pet has been involved in an accident. However, if your pet develops an illness then you’ll need a more comprehensive pet insurance policy, as accident only pet insurance policies won’t cover illness.
-
What does pet insurance cost?
Most people getting an online quote are simply wanting to know what does pet insurance cost – and it’s actually very easy to find out. Typically all you’ll need to know is the breed of your pet, it’s date of birth, and it’s gender. Once you tell the pet insurance company this they’ll be able to give you an insurance quote, which you can customise then buy online.

Is pet insurance worth it in NZ?
We believe so, and so does the SPCA. They have written about why they recommend pet insurance on their website. Put simply, most people don’t think about pet insurance in NZ until they are faced with a large vet bill – but by then it might be too late. It’s important to get a pet insurance quote early in the adoption process so you understand how much pet insurance may cost, and factor it into your budget.
-
What is the best pet insurance to get?
It is tough to answer what is the best pet insurance to get without knowing your individual situation, and your pet’s situation. It’s a good idea to get a few different pet insurance quotes from a couple of insurance brands, and then compare the policies to see what one suits you best.
