Pros
- The 85% reimbursement rate and $20,000 annual limit are higher than almost all policies available on Finder - most only cover 80% of your bills.
- A portion of your premiums goes towards Guide Dogs Australia.
- It's ideal for guide dogs - you get $1,000,000 Third Party Liability, covering you for legal fees if something happens.
Cons
- It's not good if you're only looking for an accident-only option since all policies cover injuries and illnesses.
- Routine care is only an option with Premium care but this is generally the case with other insurers as well.
We have just adopted to short hair cats, one male one female and both have had all the right things done to them. Female is 5 months while the male is 8 months. We need to have them both insured, what is your best deal for them both and a veteran?

Is there awaiting time on elbow or shoulder surgery or cruciate ligaments?
Hello Kelli,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, there is a 6 months waiting period for the Cruciate ligament cover. You can compare cruciate ligament cover from different pet insurance brands. You may compare the annual limit and please make sure to read the eligibility criteria, features, and details of the policy, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement PDS/T&C’s of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button to apply for a cover.

Is routine neutering & spaying covered with any of the companies
Hi Noeline,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Yes, there are companies that cover desexing your pet. You can also get a discount on this. The National Desexing Network (NDN) is a charity that aims to end pet overpopulation by making it more affordable for pet owners in financial need to have their animals desexed.
The NDN keeps a list of veterinarians on its website so you can find the nearest vet clinic that offers a discount on desexing every month of July. The registered veterinarians who participate in the NDN program don’t get any extra funding. They choose to reduce their fees out of their own concern for animal welfare.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
I already have comprehensive Dog Insurance, but would like to change to a different company. Will my dog have to go through “waiting periods” or have to wait a certain amount of time if we need to claim? How do pre-existing problems rate when you change companies?
Hi Natalie,
Thank you for contacting finder.
Indeed, once you change the Insurer for your dog’s policy there will be at least 30 days waiting period for illness cover. The waiting period will depend on the policy that you will, you may reach out directly to Guide Dogs for the specific waiting time frame.
For Guide Dogs Pet Insurance, they do not cover pre-existing conditions that your pet showed before you take out the policy or has shown during the waiting period.
I hope this helps.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have additional questions.
Cheers,
Ash
