Thread: Pet Insurance - who are good to deal with?

Southern cross have been good. The mrs has two cats that like to injure themselves frequently. Insurance pays us back for 80% .

We dont have insurance more pay as we go. Our boy (pointer) had ulcerated cornea ($2500) and Cruciate Ligiment ($3500) but to be fair in the grand scheme of things if we added up all the medical cost of the 7 dogs we have had so far over 30 years then it would still be cheaper than having had children!!

It cost what it does and such is life.
However its not a good idea to look like you have a wallet more capacious than an elephants scrotum when you go to the vet, better to look like you are homeless we have found. Halifax in nelson charge like wounded bulls and everything requires a "consultation" even repeat precriptions, T&C in Richmond are much better bet

I'd have to recommend FMG after using them for 20 years for dogs

What's the premiums and cover like for them Brads. Do they do pet dogs or mainly rural working dogs.
They wouldn't insure my house since they said it was "too old"

hey sorry I don't no but will find out for you,
they do all our pets dogs and working dogs and have never questioned a claim, all we need for a claim rather than a vet cert which some companies need is a valuation from a livestock agent.
Most of our buildings are over 100 years old so the last part surprises me.

I feel ya pain Mikee. My last Rottie girl did one cruciate ligament then 6 months later ( as predicted) she did the other one. Not to mention the hypothyroidism which meant 13 pills a day for many years. Then infected uterus ( 2K for emergency hysterectomy ). Sometimes the "fun" never seems to end. I was lucky I could afford all that plus more for my other Rottie boy then Huntaway. Must be in for a spend free run for the next yapper

Cheers mate, My place was built in the 1920s and I got a straight out no. If you are already a customer it might be different but when I was looking to change insurance companies I was shopping around and they excluded themselves
