PD and Dogs Victoria have signed an exciting partnership agreement. The partnership, which commenced on 01 January 2025, will help more Victorian puppies and dogs access the safety net of pet insurance.

Dogs Victoria

Dogs Victoria is the peak body representing purebred dogs and dog sports within Victoria. The organisation’s driving mission is to promote ethical and sustainable breeding and preservation of purebred dogs, maintaining the integrity of the pedigree registry.

Dogs Victoria is involved in the advancement of all ethical dog sports, activities and training as well as education and advocacy for their members and the broader canine community.

PD Insurance

PD Insurance is passionate about enabling a soft insurance landing for pets and their owners. How? By providing access to a range of quality pet insurance plans that enable pet parents’ choice and flexibility. PD’s insurance plans, together with a fast and easy claims process and a dedicated customer service team, are designed to ease concerns around unexpected vet bills.

According to Kirk Edwards, Dogs Victoria CEO,

“There is a natural fit between the PD and Dogs Victoria purpose and mission, underpinned by a passion for the protection and promotion of dog wellness.”

PD and Dogs Victoria join forces

Together, PD and Dogs Victoria will be launching several initiatives, one of which will enable Dogs Victoria breeders to offer new puppy parents a period of FREE Starter Cover*. This helps protect pups during the important transition period into their new fur-ever home, helping new owners experience fewer worries during this important phase.

This will be made possible through a Breeder Referral Program, exclusive to Dogs Victoria Breeders, the details of which will be announced in the coming months.

PD will also collaborate with Dogs Victoria to explore ways to create additional value to existing Dogs Victoria memberships.

Educational content to help raise awareness and understanding of the importance of ethical breeding, responsible pet ownership and pet wellness are key pillars of this partnership. This will be accessible through various channels, including the Dogs Victoria magazine, gazette and social media. Furthermore, PD Insurance will join Dogs Victoria at key events, to position the Breeder Referral Program and the role and importance of pet insurance in the pet-wellness ecosystem.

Reflecting on this exciting new partnership, according to PD COO Rick Claughton,

“We are delighted to partner with Dogs Victoria, adding to our existing partnerships with Dogs West and Dogs New Zealand. We believe that truly collaborative partnerships with associations such as Dogs Victoria are integral to increasing access to pet insurance and an improved appreciation of pet wellness”.
