About Bow Wow Meow

Helping protect Aussie pets since 1995

Bow Wow Meow is an Australian-owned business that has been providing services to pet owners since 1995. We began our journey providing personalised pet ID tags, and in 2008 we launched among the first pet insurance offerings in the Australian market.

Since our launch, more than 170,000 pet owners have found the benefits, options and costs of our policies to be very attractive.

What makes us different?

We are more than a pet insurance provider, we are pet people too. We know how important your pet is to you, and we never want you to have to make a choice between money and the health of your pet.

When you take out insurance with us we enter a partnership of care with you, and we take that responsibility seriously. When the unexpected happens, our close-knit team is empowered to help you out, and make sure you get the best possible outcome.

Pet owners recognise this and have consistently rated us the number one pet insurance provider in Australia on independent Product Review consumer ratings site every year from 2018-2024.

What is most gratifying for us is that these awards are given based on real reviews from our customers. We are so proud to be able to help so many Aussie pet owners and their fur babies stay happy and healthy.

Giving back to our community

Animal Poisons Helpline sponsorship

Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance is thrilled to be a Platinum Sponsor of the Australian Animal Poisons Helpline, a registered animal charity that provides a free poisons advice service to pet owners across Australia & New Zealand.
