Can't recommend Petsy enough!! When our cavoodle puppy Milo needed emergency X-rays, bloodwork, and ended up in surgery after the vet suspected a foreign body, the whole process with Petsy was smooth from start to finish. Their pre-existing conditions assessment was thorough and fair, and once the claim went through, they paid their 90% share… Read more

promptly with no hassle or pushback. On top of that, every time I've called with a question, the staff have been genuinely helpful and easy to deal with. Great peace of mind knowing they've got Milo covered.

Petsy is truly just so easy to manage and easy to make a claim with. My baby has been suffering with ear infections and has been back and forth to the vet. Petsy make it so easy and stress free when making a claim. Simply upload the invoice, submit and thats all there is to it . Having such peace of mind when it comes to my baby and his care is amazing and I can not recommend petsy enough to everyone. Show details

When Harley, our Maltese x Shitzu Poodle, had a seizure and we had to suddenly to go to emergency, it was one of the most stressful experiences we’ve had as pet owners. We found out she was diagnosed with epilepsy. It was heartbreaking and overwhelming, especially knowing she may need medication and ongoing care for life. Thank goodness we had… Read more

Petsy. Knowing Harley’s treatment and ongoing medication could be covered gave us real peace of mind at a time when we were already worried enough. The claim was easy to submit and paid VERY quickly, but what really stood out was the customer service. The team were kind, helpful and genuinely caring. It didn’t feel transactional at all, it felt like we were dealing with people who understood how much Harley means to us. We’re incredibly grateful we chose Petsy.

“I had to make two claims with Petsy Insurance in the month of December, 1 before Christmas and 1 just after. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it all was. Both claims were approved quickly, and the money was paid back soon after. Excellent service and a huge relief during an already stressful time.” Show details

I recommend Petsy. No sub limits . I chose $25,000 cover with $150pa excess and all vet consults covered with I especially like. Pleasant Australian call centre. I have made several claims for my dog Darcy, which were approved quickly - 2 an hour after I made the claim. Show details

They are super efficient and update you throughout the process, good customer service. Another thing that I find helpful is that they contact the vent directly, without me having to ask for the vet notes and send it to the insurer. Show details

When we brought our puppy home, I had no experience with pets, but had started researching and was kind of ready. I had booked a vet visit the very next day. During that first visit, the vet asked if I had thought about insurance. He warned that if a puppy ever got a paralysis tick, the treatment could cost over $20,000, and without good… Read more

insurance, it could be devastating. I told him I had decided on Petsy, but he wasn’t familiar with them and suggested some of the bigger, more well-known companies. I went home, did more research, compared policies, and checked differences. I found those other insurers had sub-limits and lots of fine print, while Petsy was clear, straightforward, and covered what mattered. So I stuck with my choice. Less than four months later, the vet’s warning came true – our puppy suffered tick paralysis, and we went through absolute hell. At that moment, all we cared about was her coming back healthy. I hadn’t even thought about the insurance claim, the Vet had put through the claims automatically, our puppy was still at the hospital when Petsy emailed about the refund, it was a beautiful surprise. They processed everything quickly and with no hidden clauses – exactly what you hope for in a crisis. Petsy is amazing. Honest, straightforward, and so supportive during one of the hardest times of our lives.

My Bernese mountain dog developed a limb and fearing the worst we were very quickly into CT scans and surgery on her shoulder. Petsy were great at working with us and the great staff at ARH in Brisbane and now Xena is back at home making a great recovery. Great to work with an insurance company that do what they say they will when they sell you the policy. Thanks Petsy Show details

Petsy makes it easy to claim and almost always pay out. I’m very happy! – This policy is such great value! We use it all the time and Buddy (my English staffy) is a bit of a reckless, curious sort. So he gets himself in a spot of trouble fairly often. I feel safe knowing that no matter what he gets himself into we’re… Read more

covered. Petsy makes it easy to claim and we’ve gotten pretty much every claim we made paid out fast. I recommend it to anyone - especially new pet parents like me. Who tend not to know things about pet care until they have to learn the hard way.

 Follow-up  · My excess is $500. I don’t have any exclusions but if you have a brachycephalic dog breed you might. I got the policy online from the Petsy website. I would recommend it to anyone with a pet especially a young puppy. The earlier in their life you get the policy the better because more things will be covered.

Pet insurance that’s not painful – Competitive price, seamless claims process and the customer service team are lovely to deal with and very helpful. Show details

 Follow-up  · Product review asked me to write a follow up review. I can’t comment much on the current customer service etc because we left after 1 year due to a crazy increase in our premium. Have been with a different insurer since with no increases and good service.

I really don’t trust insurance companies these days, regardless of what I am insuring. However, Petsy has restored my faith in that they are doing the right thing by who they are insuring. In our case, that is our 6-month old puppy, Cino, who has severe elbow and hip dysplasia. Thank you Petsy. You’re awesome. Show details

 Follow-up  · Petsy’s support has been a life saver for my family, as the costs of surgery when so unexpected and very high. The process was seamless after the review of our vet reports was very quick. We chose Petsy because after reading reviews and their values, they just seemed down to earth, real and motivated to do the right thing by our puppy and us as a family.

Went through a really scary and stressful time at the emergency vet for my cat, which quickly racked up thousands of dollars with overnights. Doing the actual claim was comically easy - I had prepared a 1-hour block to do a bunch of forms, but it was simple and took me 5 minutes. They also kept me in the loop as to how the claim was progressing… Read more

and followed up with the vet, all from their end, while I focused on taking care of my cat. I am genuinely so grateful towards Petsy who accepted the claim with no issues, and anything that wasn’t covered was clearly stated and explained, which was all reasonable. They seem to really be more than an insurance company, and it’s refreshing to see the humanness in a company that helps people not worry about money during an already stressful time. I’ve had to make decisions for my furry family members based on my financial capacity in the past, which is an awful feeling. I could not have been more thankful that I could just help my cat get back to her usual healthy, loving self. Would recommend to anyone and everyone with a pet!

I changed pet insurance last year I have two dogs being disabled I depends on other people to take my dogs to the vets so I don't see the vet myself a lot of the time but they only gone to any vet for vaccines and getting the nails done.I been very lucky both my dogs have been in great health. But recently my Kelpie cross has been drinking a lot… Read more

of water and I was a bit worried about her so I took her to the vet who checked her out she still needs a wee test but all looks good maybe a little arthritis so got some anti-inflammatory medication for her. And to my surprise my vet has not heard of petsy pet insurance and out of all pet insurance company's and so I had to pay the whole bill and claim the rest back from petsy. Being disabled I don't have much money but I used my pension money and paid it. As soon as I got home I sent the invoice to the insurance company after 3 days I received a email saying before we can pay a claim we need every vet records you have for the past till I got her so 6 or 7 years back I have no idea the name of any vet she has been too maybe the RSPCA for her vaccines. I now live out in the country. I have two dogs who touch wood have been well most of their life's. But the point I am making why wait till I need my money to live on and ask about her past history. Been taking my $150 every month. If they was not going to cover you pets for any reason then they should say and ask for my dogs history. What if something serious had happened to one of my dogs and they needed $8000 of treatment and me thinking I have insurance so I am ok for the insurance company to turn around and tell me I may not be covered. It's leaves a bad taste in my mouth. So I would recommend you contact them and make sure you have cover. Ask them if they need to contact every vet your animal has ever seen to make sure you pet has insurance. Being sick and disabled it takes time to find out addresses of vets ECT should of asked for this information from the start of the insurance cover. It makes you think they can choose who to cover so they can leave out people who may make a large claim.

Petsy has made my pets welfare so much less stressful – The service provided by Petsy has been amazing. My puppy got parvo and even with full vaccination needed 24/7care for a week until she was well enough to come back home. Once she was back home I made a claim with two days and got correspondence from the team a day after. I expected the process to take up to two weeks as it was a large claim but… Read more

within five days the claim had been processed and two days later the funds were in my account. All I had to do to make my claim was provide the details of the vet and invoices if the care was complete and they would do all the work getting information from the vet. They also checked in with me a few times during this process to let me know how the claim was going and asked me how my puppy was going.

I have been with Petsy for three months and they have been so much more approachable than my previous insurer. Their policy is the same price of my previous policy but covers two dogs while my previous policy only covered the one. I wish I had been with Petsy earlier as my other cavoodle needed to have dental surgery on some adult teeth and my current policy would have covered this when my old insurer did not.

They also provide a Pre-existing assessment for all pets that helps to outline what vet costs will or won’t be deductible based on their prior vet history. They are also open to updating information when some existing vet notes change, such as a dog no longer eating poop!

My amazing experience with Petsy has made me speak highly of them to everyone who has heard about my poor puppy getting sick and I recommend them to anyone who has a pet.

I scheduled my cat Chilli for a dental procedure after his teeth weren't looking great. It was the first claim I've submitted for pet insurance, and it was processed within 48 hours. Customer service was also easy to deal with, very straightforward and quick to let us know what stage the claim was in. Good thing we started Chilli on pet insurance… Read more

as a kitten, he ended up needing 5 teeth out even though he's only 2 years old! Overall a great experience, and reassuring that the policy holds up when you actually need it.

I am now commencing my 4th year with Petsy pet insurance. I have a Pet Protection Plus policy for my cat. Am very pleased with the professional level of service I receive and feel this is a good policy for my 9 year old cat. Benefits are paid promptly in a no-fuss way and service is friendly. Feel this policy is competitively priced and that I get good value from it. Pretty satisfied with this pet insurer at this stage.

Switching to Petsy was the best decision I’ve made for my pet. The sign-up process was straightforward, and their customer service team is fantastic—super responsive, empathetic, and clear about what is and isn't covered. It gives me massive peace of mind knowing my fur baby is protected by a company that genuinely seems to care. 5 stars

I recently completed a 3 week placement with Petsy as a final-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student from USYD, and it was such a great experience.

I had a great experience learning about the pet insurance industry and how it supports both pet owners and veterinary care. As a veterinary student, it was really valuable to see the communication, teamwork, and behind-the-scenes processes involved. I learnt a lot during my time with the team and appreciated how supportive and welcoming everyone was.
