About Groodles

A fluffy bundle of joy wrapped up in one loveable dog, the Groodle, also known as a Goldendoodle, is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They come in toy, miniature, and standard sizes, so there’s a Groodle to suit just about any home. 

These dogs are social butterflies who are happiest in lively family homes, getting along beautifully with children, other dogs, and family pets. Active families and first-time dog owners alike will find the Groodle an absolute joy to raise.

Blessed with Poodle intelligence and Golden Retriever warmth, Groodles are highly trainable and eager to please. They shine as therapy dogs, bringing comfort to hospitals, schools, and aged care facilities across Australia. They also hold their own in obedience and agility competitions.

Living with Groodles

Exercise & Grooming

Common health problems in Groodles

Knose covers the following potential health problems in Groodles:

Typically up to $15,000 per year
Hip dysplasia is a common inherited condition in Groodles in which the hip joint develops improperly, causing the ball and socket to fit poorly. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, especially as the dog gets older.

  • Covered by Knose

Typically up to $10,000 per leg
Groodles may inherit a condition affecting the development of the elbow joint, which can cause front‑leg lameness, stiffness, and discomfort. Early diagnosis and proper care can help preserve mobility and quality of life.

  • Covered by Knose

Typically up to $10,000 per leg
Cruciate Ligament Disorder (CLD) is a common knee injury in Groodles, caused by sudden or repeated stress. It can lead to chronic pain, arthritis, and limited mobility. Genetics and activity levels make Groodles prone, with treatment usually involving surgery and rehab.

  • Covered by Knose

Typically up to $1,500 per treatment
Groodles are prone to ear infections because their floppy ears trap moisture and debris. This creates an environment where bacteria and yeast can grow, leading to irritation, redness, and discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

In general, pet insurance is worth it because of the financial support it provides. For Groodles, it’s especially helpful in managing veterinary costs related to inherited conditions and injuries they may develop over their long lives.

Routine veterinary visits are recommended at least once a year, or more frequently if your dog has any health concerns.

Standard vaccinations include distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, and leptospirosis. Your vet can provide a tailored vaccination schedule.

To determine the right amount of food for your Groodle, consult your veterinarian, who can assess their lifestyle, health, and breed to recommend daily kilocalories.

Look for extensive coverage that includes routine care, injuries, illness, and hereditary conditions. At Knose, your pet benefits from all these and more at a lower cost! It’s also helpful to have a high annual limit and benefit percentage to manage potential ongoing treatment costs.

When purchasing a new dog insurance policy for your dog:

  • The minimum age for entry for a pet is 6 weeks old.
  • The maximum age for entry for a pet is 8 years and 364 days old.
  • The maximum age for including or adding optional benefits is 2 years and 364 days.

There are no age limits when renewing policies.

10/10 personalised service!

In January, we brought a puppy (Bella) into our lives – she is beautiful! Recently she had a few gastro issues and subsequent vet visits. Knose Pet Insurance has been awesome. They acknowledged the claims immediately, and then followed up with personal emails advising us of the progress of our claims. We even received a message asking after Bella and a follow up to say how pleased they were that Bella is now doing well. Top class personalized service and a thorough explanation of the claim refunds. 10/10 guys!

Quick refund process

Submitted a claim for the first time after 12 months of insurance and everything went smoothly. I received regular updates of the progress of my claim and the refund process was quick once the team had received all the information from the vet.

Affordable pet insurance with easy claims!

Knose has been a great choice for pet insurance. The premiums are relatively affordable, claims are super easy to make by just uploading vet invoices, and the 24 hour phoneline that connects you with a vet nurse is a brilliant feature.

Amazing claims service

We searched for quite sometime for pet insurance for our toy poodle puppy and we’re so glad we found Knose’s Dog Insurance. They have been amazing. I really appreciate how you can call them with any query you might have and speak to someone in Australia who is clear and concise. Easy to put a claim through and you’re emailed throughout until your claim has been paid. Thank you to everyone for the great service.
