Why Medibank Pet Insurance?
"Pets add so much to our lives but they are also incredibly reliant on us. In my opinion, it’s the unwritten deal we make with them when we first take them home that we’ll be there for them no matter what. Pet insurance can certainly help make honouring that promise possible".
Dr Chris Brown, Medibank's Pet Insurance Ambassador
Give your best mate the best care possible
Think of Medibank Pet Insurance like health cover for your pet, much like your own human health insurance. Advances in veterinary medicine mean more can be done for your pet’s health than ever before. Cats and dogs can now receive ultrasound and x-rays, diagnostic and laboratory tests, arthritis treatment, major surgery, and even cancer treatment – just like people.
Pet insurance helps pet owners feel better knowing their pet receives the health care they deserve without compromise so you can afford trips to the vet when you need them most.
What can Medibank Pet Insurance cover?
The world of pets is almost entirely unpredictable and we’ve all heard the stories of accidents or sudden illnesses that result in high vet bills. A visit to the vet could set you back anywhere from an average of $244 for an ear infection, to $2,178 for cataracts, up to even $13,525 for multiple fractures*.
Medibank Pet Insurance provides up to 80% back on vet bills for things like:
- Hospitalisation
- Prescription medicines and drugs
- Vet consultations
- Cruciate ligament surgery
- After-hours emergency
- Laboratory and diagnostic tests
- Specialist care
- Radiology
- Surgery
- Emergency boarding
Please note annual limits, some waiting periods and other conditions apply.
Medibank Pet Insurance provides cover options for many vet or specialist treatments, for accidents, illness, hereditary or congenital disease, and even benefits towards routine or preventive care depending on the level of cover. Just as people have trusted us for decades to provide them with the highest quality health cover, you can now turn to us for the same reason when it comes to your pet’s health insurance.
