About Bow Wow Meow
Helping protect Aussie dogs and cats 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 then, more than 200,000 Aussie pet owners have trusted us to help provide their fur babies with the best vet care when they need it.
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.
We are proud to have been recognised for the outstanding care and support we provide. We are the only pet insurance provider to have won Product Review’s Top Rated Pet Insurance Award for 9 consecutive years, from 2018-2026, and honoured to have received Canstar’s Most Satisfied Customers Award for the Pet Insurance category for both 2024 and 2025!
What is most gratifying for us is that these awards are given based on real reviews and feedback 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.
