Knose has won Pet Insurer of the Year at the WeMoney Pet Insurance Awards for five consecutive years (2022-2026), along with Best for Quality for the fourth time (2022-2023, 2025-2026)! 

We have always strived for our policies to cater to what’s best for Australian pet owners. Recently, the recognition that Knose has received validates what our community stands for. WeMoney announced its Annual Insurance Awards and has awarded Knose Pet Insurance:

🏆 Pet Insurer of the Year
This award recognises the pet insurance provider on excellence across all aspects of pet insurance delivery, such as customer satisfaction and product innovation.

🏆 Best for Quality
This award recognises superior product quality with high ratings across factors like coverage comprehensiveness and policy benefit excellence.

When choosing the right protection for your pet, WeMoney offers data-led evidence to ensure you’re getting genuine quality and dependable coverage. These awards are also based on real-life customer scenarios and independent assessment by a third-party panel. 

How WeMoney Made the Assessment

WeMoney Pet Insurance Awards looks at pet insurance products and services that offer outstanding services to Australian customers. This year, we were assessed against other leading pet insurers: Fetch, Bow Wow Meow, TruPanion, Pet Barn, Woolsworths, Buddy, and more!

The independent judging panel consisted of market contributors, CEOs, directors, and financial editors. Their combined expertise is meant to thoughtfully evaluate financial products from the perspective of average Australian pet owners. 

To provide an unbiased evaluation of pet insurance providers, each one was scored on the following equally weighted criteria: affordability, value, quality, customer experience, and claims experience.

Real-Life Scenario: Winter’s Story 

Quality pet insurance coverage isn’t just all data. It’s also the emotional and financial reassurance that you receive as a pet owner. When unexpected events happen, having the right policy reframes the experience. 

Stories like Winter’s serve as a reminder of why robust coverage matters. Read the experience of owners Evan and Sophie with their Australian Shepherd, Winter, who required nearly $35,000 in veterinary care due to two serious, unexpected conditions: hip dysplasia and an Intrahepatic Porto Systemic Shunt (IHPSS).
