As caring pet parents, you value your pet’s health and want to ensure they are always well looked after. The fact is that, no matter how well you look after them, most pets will require veterinary treatment at some stage.
The good news is that vet care has advanced significantly over the past decade. Unfortunately, the cost of vet treatment has also risen significantly and there is no Medicare for pets, so when anything happens to your furry family members, you will need to foot the bill.
Vet bills for injuries or illnesses can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.
Pet insurance is a way to protect both you and your pet from unexpected vet bills. There is no need for your pet to suffer if veterinary care is too pricey, and no difficult decisions for you to make other than getting them the best possible care.
Bow Wow Meow is focussed entirely on you and your pets. We are not some big, faceless insurance company, we are a team of Aussie pet lovers.
Yet, as we are underwritten by Australia’s largest pet insurer, we are just as secure as any of our competitors.
We are here for you, and are determined to help you when you need it most. We go above and beyond to help our pet parents during stressful times.
We believe this is what makes us one of the best pet insurance providers in Australia. This has been confirmed by the fact that we’ve been chosen by Product Review as Pet Insurance Award winners for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and again for 2021, and the thousands of satisfied pet parents who refer their friends to us.
Our new improved pet portal allows you to submit pet insurance claims and manage your policy quickly and easily online.
We have also recently introduced our new low effort claims service, which means that, if we require further information after you submit a claim, we will now correspond directly with your vet. This saves you having to worry about your claim and chasing up your vet, and will make claiming a lot smoother and easier.
And our new GapOnly™ on the spot claiming means less to pay upfront on eligible vet bills, and if your claim is approved you don’t have to wait for your claim to be paid after you leave the vet’s practice.
We have listened to our customers, and know you prefer to get money back for each eligible vet bill. We have therefore removed the per-condition excess from our new range of pet insurance policies.
This translates into more rebates for our customers for even the smallest vet bills!
We have designed our pet insurance policies to suit the needs of every type of pet owner. For example:
Once your pet is insured, we will cover all conditions (as long as they are not exclusions) for the life of the pet up to the annual benefit limit each year, provided you renew your pet insurance policy each year without any break, lapse or change in the level of cover. Cover will be subject to the terms and conditions of each renewing policy.
All of our claims are looked at on an individual basis, however, if a condition has shown signs or symptoms prior to the commencement date of coverage or within the applicable waiting periods, then it is excluded as a pre-existing condition.
To help pet parents claim for more eligible conditions, pre-existing conditions are now assessed depending on whether they are considered a temporary or a chronic condition.
You may apply for a pre-existing condition review after the policy has been kept for at least 18 months from the original policy’s commencement date and a vet has certified and provided veterinary records that there have been no signs and symptoms or reoccurrence of that pre-existing condition to the date of review.
