Pet Insurance

At Geelong Veterinary Hospital, we believe that every pet deserves the best possible care, and pet insurance can help make that care more accessible and affordable. Veterinary medicine has advanced significantly, offering pets life-saving surgeries, cancer treatments, and specialised care that was once only available for humans. However, with these advancements come costs that can add up quickly in the event of an accident or unexpected illness.

Unlike human healthcare, there is no Medicare for pets, meaning all veterinary expenses must be paid out-of-pocket. Pet insurance helps ease this financial burden by covering some or all of the costs associated with veterinary care, depending on the policy. This can make a huge difference when facing unexpected emergencies such as broken bones, poisoning, or serious illnesses like cancer or heart disease.

Having pet insurance gives you peace of mind, knowing that you won’t have to make difficult decisions about your pet’s health based on financial constraints. Instead, you can focus on what truly matters, getting them the best possible treatment when they need it most. Many policies also cover routine care, including vaccinations, dental check-ups, and preventative treatments, helping you manage your pet’s health throughout their life.

With a variety of providers and coverage options available, it’s important to research and find the right policy for your pet’s needs. Some factors to consider include coverage limits, exclusions, waiting periods, and whether pre-existing conditions are covered.
