Things You Need

To Know

We know finding the most suitable dog insurance can be confusing. 
Here are a few explanations to help you understand exactly what you get from your PD pet insurance policy.

Defined Benefit Limit
This refers to the total amount we’ll pay in a year towards your pet's claimable expenses. For example, if you take out our Deluxe Plan the maximum amount in any one year you can claim is $20,000. Across our plans we have a per claim limit, which is subject to 80% reimbursement and is the most we’ll pay per claim. Each new event, condition, illness or accidental injury is considered a new “Claim” or “Event”. You’ll find your defined benefit limit and your claim limits outlined in your Certificate of Insurance.
Cover Limit
An insurance cover limit is the maximum we’ll pay toward a covered claim. Generally speaking, the higher your cover limit, the higher your premium. We offer three dog insurance plans and each plan offers different cover limits. You’ll find your policy’s cover limits outlined in your Certificate of Insurance.
Excess
Excess refers to the amount of money you need to pay when making a claim with your pet insurance. With PD Insurance, you have the option to choose your excess value, which can be set at $100, $200, or $300. For instance, if you have selected a $100 excess and you receive a $1,000 vet bill, your claim will amount to $800. In this scenario, your excess will be $100, and we will cover the remaining $700 of the bill.
Reimbursement
This refers to the amount we pay towards your dog insurance claim. With our pet insurance for dogs, we're committed to reimbursing as soon as possible.
Waiting Periods
These can vary widely between dog insurance providers. A waiting period is the amount of time that must pass before your cover for a certain benefit will begin, starting from the policy start date. Depending on which PD Insurance dog cover plan you choose, some benefits may have a waiting period.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Like other insurance companies, we exclude pre-existing conditions. This refers to conditions that occurred before you started your policy with us (or during the waiting  periods).

PD Insurance Classic and Deluxe pet insurance plans cover veterinary expenses incurred as a result of illness, including illnesses arising from hereditary conditions, after the required waiting period has passed. Our Accident Plan does not.

An illness means an unexpected sickness or disease, or any change to your dog’s normal healthy state. This could be an upset stomach, a skin condition or an ear infection, or another sickness/disease that is not caused by an accidental injury.

PD Insurance covers hereditary conditions under our Classic and Deluxe pet insurance plans, as long as the condition was not present prior to commencing your cover or during any applicable waiting period(s).

-The property is not owned by you or anyone residing with you (or in a trust held by you or someone residing with you)

-The damage or injury occurs in Australia
