Thanks to recent advances in vet science, dogs in Australia now have access to superior diagnostics and treatments. However, these options often come with a hefty price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why should I consider pet insurance for my dog?

It’s common for dogs to require veterinary attention at some point in their lives, and the severity and cost of such care can be unpredictable. Our dog insurance is designed to provide extensive coverage for unexpected injuries and illnesses your dog may face. Knose Pet Insurance offers extensive plans for dog insurance, catering to dogs living with you in Australia. We prioritise your pet’s well-being and don’t impose sub-limits, ensuring they have access to veterinary treatment whenever they need it most.

Certain dog breeds are considered dangerous or banned in Australia, and we don’t provide coverage for such breeds. If your dog’s breed falls under this category after purchasing or renewing the policy, they will no longer be eligible, and we will send you a notice of non-renewal before the expiration of your current Period of Insurance. Moreover, dogs engaged in commercial or sporting activities, such as breeding, working, fighting, racing, personal protection, gun sports, law enforcement, or guarding, are not eligible for coverage. However, there are exceptions, and we do provide cover for pets engaged in specific activities like show dogs, search and rescue dogs, guide dogs, assistance dogs, or customs sniffer dogs.
