Loved by Pet Owners Australia wide

Best choice for my kitten!!!!

My little kitten, named Mey, got FIP a month ago and stayed in the ICU for over a week. Luckily, I bought Petsy insurance for him after doing extensive research. There's no sub-limit, and despite the pre-existing condition report showing which illnesses aren't covered (most of which can be reviewed after one year, except for cat flu), everything has been good. The claiming process is easy, and I've already claimed back over $12k after submitted claim and processed only in 3 days. I'm still in the process of claiming back for prescription costs 🙂 (luckily, I chose a limit up to $25k). I want to thank Alex, Fiona, Michelle, and the Petsy team for helping me with the claiming process. I highly recommend Petsy to everyone.

Excellent value and service

Annie was informative and helpful, a delight to interact with and obviously someone who shares a passion for animals. I felt that I was given a thorough understanding of the products Petsy offers and had no unanswered questions. I feel that the policy I purchased is of good value and I will be more than happy to recommend Petsy to friends and family. I also hope that Petsy recognises and values Annie's representation of your values

Taking the stress out of pet insurance

I cannot fault Petsy for anything. From the beginning all our claims have been handled quickly (within a week)- from the ease of making claims online, to their review and deposit of claim amount back to my bank account. Any requests for assistance have been provided in a timely manner. I’ve also received calls from them just to check in and see how Sammy is doing and to offer support or advice if needed. I recommend them to everyone who asks me about pet insurance. I have been with Petsy for 15 months and plan to stay with them for many more years.

Pet Insurance that protects the one you love coming home to

We all want to have the peace of mind knowing that our furry bundle of joy is able to receive required veterinary treatment if things don’t go to plan.

With Petsy Kitten Protection Plus, you can choose an annual limit up to $30,000 to help cover eligible vet costs if your kitten runs into an unexpected mishap resulting in an injury or illness. No sub-limits or hidden costs

What is pet insurance?

Pet insurance can help to reimburse you for eligible vet costs if your kitten unexpectedly gets injured as a result of an accident or if they suffer an illness.

Having pet insurance can reduce the financial impact that can come with high veterinary costs. Receive 80% or 90% back on eligible vet costs based on your level of cover and after your annual excess.

Why consider pet insurance for kittens?

It’s no secret that kittens love exploring the world around them and testing their limits. If your kitten accidentally breaks a bone, or unexpectedly find themselves in a pickle whilst scouting their new surroundings, having pet insurance can help to cover some of the cost for critical veterinary treatment they need without money being the deciding factor.

Eligibility

When purchasing a new Petsy Kitten Protection Plus policy:

  • The minimum age for entry is 6 weeks old
  • The maximum age for entry is 364 days
  • There is no age limitation when you renew a policy.

Kitten Protection Plus is only available for kittens that join Petsy before their first birthday. If your kitten is 1 year or older, please see Petsy Pet Protection Plus.

How Pet Insurance Works

Get a quick quote online and customise your policy for your Kitten

No two kittens are ever the same. Instead of picking a pre-packaged plan and hoping you fall into one of the buckets, customise your Petsy Pet Insurance policy so it’s right for you and your kitten. Our policy is customisable and you’ll be able to tailor the level of coverage, based on your preferences for the Benefit Percentage, Annual Limit, Annual Excess, whether or not you’d like Optional Extra Benefits (if your pet is less than 3 years old) and whether or not you’d like to include costs of Vet Consultations for your cover.

Request a pre-existing condition assessment for your pet (at our cost)

Fast-track future claims by completing a pre-existing condition assessment upfront when you start your coverage. Once you’ve had your first vet visit, let us know and we’ll collect your pet’s medical history upfront. We’ll also let you know whether there are any pre-existing conditions noted in their medical history that might affect your ongoing coverage.

Use any registered vet, anywhere in Australia

Petsy Pet Insurance works with all licensed vets in Australia (that’s over 12,000) so you can pick the vet that works for you.

Quick and easy claims

Claims are quick and easy and can be submitted quickly from anywhere in Australia, plus they can be submitted directly by your vet for added convenience.

Get paid back fast

Approved claims are paid directly into your nominated bank account.

Build & Personalise your policy

Our quotes are customisable and you can tailor your policy by choosing from the following options on a Petsy Pet Insurance policy:

You can Customise

  • Benefit Percentage: 80% or 90%
  • Annual Limit: $5,000, $10,000, or $25,000 (for pets under 1 year old annual limit of up to $30,000)
  • Annual Excess: $0, $150, $200, $300, or $500

What’s not covered

Petsy Pet Insurance covers a lot, but it’s important to understand what’s not covered, such as:

Issues that don’t relate to an accidental injury or illness

Routine and preventive care such as vaccinations, desexing, and regular health check-ups aren’t covered.

Pre-existing Conditions

Any signs or symptoms of an illness or health issue your pet shows before the exclusion period is over are considered pre-existing conditions and won’t be covered. 

Bilateral conditions (affecting both sides of the body)

If your pet has a pre-existing condition and one side shows signs before the exclusion period ends, the other side won’t be covered if it later affects the other side.

General exclusions

Breeding-related costs, experimental treatments and general exclusions aren’t covered

Exclusion Periods

Your pet isn’t covered the moment you buy your policy. Your policy has different exclusion periods that need to be passed symptom-free before coverage begins.

The exclusion periods are: 

  • 1 Day Exclusion Period for Accidental Injury (except Specified Conditions)
  • 14 days Exclusion Period for Illness (except Specified Conditions)
  • 14 days Exclusion Period for Dental Illness for pets under 1 year old
  • 6 months Exclusion Period for Dental Illness for pets 1 year and older
  • 6 months Exclusion Period for Behavioural Conditions
  • 6 months Exclusion Period for Specified Conditions
