Knose pet insurance offers two comprehensive policies: cover for your dog and cover for your cat. These policies include cover for accidents, illnesses, euthanasia and more.

Our Verdict

  1. At $25,000, Knose has the highest annual benefit limit out of the 17 pet insurers compared on Finder, around $10,000-$13,000 more a year than others. Plus, unlike most, paralysis tick doesn't come with a sub-limit.
  2. Its 14 day waiting time for illnesses is about half that of other brands (30 days).
  3. You can choose how much of your vet bills you want covered — 70%, 80% or 90%. The lower the percentage, the cheaper your premiums. Out of 17 policies, only 2 others let you do this.

What pet insurance policies does Knose offer?

Keeping things simple and straightforward, Knose offers two pet insurance policies: Cover for dogs and Cover for cats.

If your pet is injured or suffers an illness and you incur vet costs for any necessary treatment, Knose will reimburse you up to the benefit percentage you have selected. You can choose the benefit percentage yourself - 70%, 80% or 90%. Both policies cover your pet while you are travelling in New Zealand or Norfolk islands on a trip for less than sixty days. You will also be eligible for up to thirty days of emergency boarding for your cat or dog if you are unexpectedly hospitalised for four or more consecutive days.
