How we picked these
Finder Score for pet insurance
We designed Finder Score to make comparing pet insurance easier, assessing more than 20 products for their price and features. Finder Score assigns each product a score out of 10.
With dog insurance from $14.66 and cat insurance from $11.16 a fortnight, CoverMy Pet is designed to keep premiums manageable without cutting corners on the essentials.
Choose between $2,000, $4,000 or $8,000 in annual vet fee cover, depending on your pet's needs and your budget.
All three plans reimburse up to 85% of eligible vet costs, so you're not left carrying the full bill after an unexpected trip to the vet.
Once you're covered, your pet won't be excluded from an ongoing condition just because they've claimed for it before.
CoverMy Pet can pay your vet directly, so you don't need to pay the full invoice upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
Policies are administered by Petplan Australasia, giving CoverMy Pet a depth of industry knowledge that newer insurers can't match.

Frequently asked questions
Vet fee-only insurance covers the cost of vet treatment if your pet gets sick or injured. It doesn't include routine care like vaccinations or preventative treatments. CoverMy Pet's policies fall into this category, making them a more affordable option for pet owners who don't need extras.
No. Like most pet insurers, CoverMy Pet does not cover pre-existing conditions. These are health issues your pet had before the policy started or during the waiting period. This is standard across the industry, so it's worth insuring your pet while they're young and healthy.
Most vet fee-only policies allow you to visit any registered, licensed vet in Australia. However, check the PDS to confirm this applies to your plan before booking treatment.
Dental illness is generally excluded with CoverMy Pet. Dental injuries caused by an accident may be covered.
You can get a quote online at covermy.au or by calling 1300 894 464. You'll need your pet's species, breed, age and postcode.
If you're looking for basic, affordable protection against unexpected vet bills and don't need extras like routine care or dental cover, CoverMy Pet offers a competitive price point with lifetime cover included. However, the $8,000 maximum annual benefit is lower than some other providers, so it may not be sufficient for pets that are high-risk breeds or prone to expensive ongoing conditions.

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
