Annual cover limit

What is an annual cover limit?

This is the maximum amount we’ll contribute towards your pet’s care per year. When choosing a cover limit, make sure it’s enough to cover the treatments your pet might need.

Benefit percentage

What is a benefit percentage?

This is the portion of your vet bill your insurer will cover for an approved claim. With us, you can choose the percentage that works best for you. For example, if you pick a benefit percentage of 80%, we’ll cover 80% of the bill and you’ll pay the remaining 20%.

Annual excess

What is an annual excess?

This is the amount you agree to pay towards your claims each year, before we step in to cover the rest. With us, you only pay one annual excess, not one for every claim, so it’s easier to focus on your pet’s care.

Consultations

What do you mean by ‘consultations’?

This refers to your vet’s consultation fees. You can choose whether you’d like these fees to be covered, so you’re only paying for what matters to you and your pet.

Enjoy even greater peace of mind

Boost your pet’s cover with a range of optional extras.

Helps to cover issues that affect teeth, gums, and periodontal tissue, such as gingivitis, tartar and plaque, periodontal disease, gingival (gum) and other dental conditions.

Provides access to therapies like acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and therapeutic massage to help your pet recover from covered conditions.

Covers unusual or excessive behaviours, like overeating, chewing or licking, pulling out fur, pacing, anxiety, aggression, or obsessive habits.

Covers an annual health check, routine vaccinations, and microchipping if needed.

We don’t do sub-limits

With us, there are no extra limits for certain conditions. Simply claim up to your annual limit!

Frequently asked questions

Pet insurance is a financial safety net that helps you pay for vet bills. With RSPCA Pet Insurance, you pay a premium and, subject to the details in your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), if your pet gets sick or injured, we cover part of your vet costs. That way, you can focus on what truly matters: Helping your pet get back on their paws. 

Even the healthiest pets can face an unexpected vet visit. Pet insurance helps you manage those surprise costs, giving you peace of mind that you can provide your pet with the care they need. At RSPCA Pet Insurance, we offer one of the most customisable insurance solutions on the market, allowing you to tailor your cover to fit your pet’s needs.

The cost of pet insurance depends on your pet’s personal risk profile. Things like their age, breed, claims history and even where you live can all affect your premium. As every pet is unique, the best way to find out is to get a quick, commitment-free quote based on your pet’s details.
