Superior & innovative service makes claiming easy
We offer GapOnly® on the spot claiming
Bow Wow Meow is proud to be a founding partner of the GapOnly® platform. Making pet insurance claims faster and easier than ever, the GapOnly® service calculates your claim while you’re still at your vet’s practice, so you only pay the gap (the difference between the total of your vet’s invoice and the claim benefits under their policy).
It means less to pay upfront, because you know exactly how much will be covered straight away, and you don’t have to wait for your claim to be paid after you leave the vet’s practice. Plus, no paperwork!
Streamlined claims processing
If we require further information after you submit a claim, we correspond directly with your vet to make claiming quicker and easier for you and collect any invoices, vet notes or documents that are needed. This means no need for you to chase your vet for consultation notes or vet history…we do it for you! Read more about your claims options.
Pet portal
Our Pet Portal allows you to submit claims quickly and easily online.
The portal includes a range of features to help you manage your policy 24×7 and is one of the many benefits of being a customer:
