Petbarn's mid-range option reimburses you for up to 90% of eligible vet bills (65% for pets over 8 years old) and covers everything you get with Core with double the per condition limit.

Waiting periods also apply. You cannot claim for injuries that result from the following conditions within the specified waiting periods after taking out cover. For example, a cruciate ligament injury before 6 months of cover.
If your pet is being used as a work animal, it may not be covered for specific conditions such as pregnancy.
You pay nothing. Finder is free to use. And you pay the same as going direct. No markups, no hidden fees.
You save time. We spend 100s of hours researching pet insurance so you can sort the gold from the junk faster.
You can trust us. We say it like it is. We aren't owned by an insurer and our opinions are our own.
