Pet Insurance

With everything in the world becoming more and more expensive, pet insurance is a great way to receive some money back from vet bills. We recommend purchasing insurance while your pet is young and healthy, as any pre-existing conditions are usually not covered and there is often a waiting period between signing up and your policy actually becoming functional.

There are many different companies and varying levels of policies out there, we advise you do your research into each one and what they cover to determine what will be best for you and your pet’s individual needs. Please note, as a veterinary clinic, we are unable to make recommendations on specific companies or policies; it is up to you as the pet owner to investigate and make the decision.

Most companies work with a system that can be integrated into our software at the clinic, meaning we can process claims entirely on your behalf and you receive the benefits once they’ve been approved. However, we also accept other companies that do not function this way, and can provide relevant notes and history directly to the insurer where required. Bills for these policy-holders will need to be paid upfront, and reimbursed later on through your insurance company.

We have recently partnered with GapOnly, which means we can submit your claim as you check-out and get approval within a few minutes, leaving you with only the gap amount to be paid before walking out the door! This eliminates the need to pay the entire account upfront, and gives a little more breathing room for pet owners when considering treatment options.

Many different insurance companies are compatible with GapOnly, it is not an individual insurer itself. If you are unsure whether your pet’s policy is eligible, please give us a call or check out the GapOnly website for a complete list.
