Pros
It's good if you shop at Woolies. You get 10% off your Woolies shop every month.
Its $30,000 annual benefit limit for the Comprehensive Plus policy is better than any other provider on the market. Out of 22 policies, only 2 (Potiki and PIA) offered the same or slightly more ($31,145).
It comes with free access to VetAssist with every policy. This lets you video call or online chat with a licensed Australian Vet.
Cons
It pays 80% of eligible vet bills which is relatively standard, though some (like Petsy) give you 100% back.
Its 10% Woolies groceries discount isn't convenient if you prefer to shop elsewhere.
If your pet has a chronic pre-existing condition or is a non-domestic pet, you won't be able to receive cover.
🔎 Why choose Everyday Pet Insurance?
Here are some of the main reasons why it might be worth getting a policy with Everyday Pet Insurance.

Higher annual limits than most of its competitors. The $30,000 annual limit for the Comprehensive Plus policy is double its previous comprehensive policy's annual limit and higher than most of its competitors, which is usually around $15,000.
Supports Pet Rescue. Your new policy will help PetRescue build a safer future for rescue pets in Australia.

📝 How to submit a Everyday Pet Insurance claim
To submit a Everyday Pet Insurance claim you have three options:
Claiming through your vet. Your vet may be able to submit your claim on your behalf through GapOnly. This means that rather than paying the full vet invoice upfront and waiting to be reimbursed, you simply pay the amount not covered by your policy. Alternatively, your vet might be able to submit your claim electronically on your behalf.
Make a claim online. You can submit your claim online through Pet Portal. All you need to do is upload a copy of the invoice and consultation notes from the vet.
Make a paper claim. If you prefer, you can also submit a paper claim form by post or call the company on 1300 10 1234.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
