We’re proud to announce that Knose has earned the title of “Pet Insurer of the Year” for four consecutive years by Australia’s most trusted advisors in the finance sector!
This is a true testament to our unwavering commitment to providing outstanding value, quality, and service to Australian pet owners.
Recognised by both WeMoney and Mozo, these accolades highlight our dedication to delivering extensive and flexible pet care solutions that cater to the diverse needs of pet families across the country.
What does “Pet Insurer of the Year” award mean?
The “Pet Insurer of the Year” award is a standard of excellence across the areas that matter most to Australian pet owners. Here’s an overview of how the two major voices in Australian finance evaluate the top pet insurance providers:
WeMoney bases its award on a weighted assessment of real customer scenarios, evaluating each insurer across four key pillars:
- Value
- Quality
- Customer Experience
- Claims
This means the winner must offer not just a competitively priced product, but also exceptional service, flexible pet insurance cover, and a smooth, supportive claims process throughout the entire customer journey.
On the other hand, Mozo focuses on identifying insurers that deliver exceptional value—offering strong features at a competitive price—and exceptional quality, including generous benefits and policy flexibility regardless of cost.
Their “Pet Insurance Provider of the Year” title is given to the provider that stands out across multiple award categories, demonstrating leadership in both the depth (feature-rich offerings) and breadth (consistent performance across multiple areas) of their insurance products.
Together, these independent endorsements signal that Knose delivers both trusted value and high-quality pet care—making it a smart, reliable choice for Australian pet parents.
What sets Knose apart from other Australian pet insurance providers?
Knose stands out in the Australian pet insurance market by offering a level of flexibility, transparency, and extensive cover that few competitors can match.
One of the key advantages is its generous annual cover limit—up to $25,000—which is significantly higher than the typical $10,000 to $20,000 offered by most providers.
While some competitors offer up to $30,000, it’s usually restricted to their highest-tier (and most expensive) plans, whereas Knose makes robust cover more broadly accessible.
Where Knose really differentiates itself is in policy customisation. Pet owners can tailor their pet insurance policy by choosing their preferred annual limit, benefit percentage (70%, 80%, or 90%), and even opt for a $0 excess—a rare feature in the industry.
In contrast, many other insurers offer only limited flexibility, and few allow this much control over cost and cover, let alone a zero excess option. With Knose, a high benefit percentage is not a luxury add-on—it’s built into the offering.
Additionally, Knose offers optional cover for dental illness, behavioural issues, and alternative therapies, as well as chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and epilepsy.
These features are frequently excluded or heavily limited under other pet insurance providers. If they’re offered at all, it’s usually as expensive add-ons with low claim caps (e.g. $2,000 or less). Knose treats these services as a meaningful part of holistic pet care, not afterthoughts.
Last but not least, Knose eliminates sub-limits entirely. That means the full annual benefit can be applied to any covered condition—no hidden caps for specific treatments like tick paralysis or cruciate ligament surgery, which are often subject to $1,000–$2,600 limits with other insurers.
Our level of simplicity and transparency is a major win for pet parents, ensuring they’re not caught off guard when they need their pet insurance cover most.
