How do I choose Pet Insurance?

Did you know, not all pet insurance is created equally?

Pet insurance, much like health insurance, is there to help pet owners cover the cost of emergency care when their pet gets sick or injured. It also gives pet owners (and vets!), peace of mind knowing a pet can receive the best care without money getting in the way and compromising decisions towards the pet’s care.

Pet insurance policies often differ greatly, and it’s important you choose a policy that’s right for both you and your pet.

When choosing a policy, make sure you look at things like:

  • Sub limits
  • Benefit level
  • Annual limits
  • Breed-specific coverage
  • Added extras
Every policy has their own variations. The last thing you want to discover is that your pet is not insured for something after it’s occurred!

There are a number of different pet insurance companies to choose from, so if you have a pet under the age of 12 months and are considering pet insurance, we would strongly advise you get some sort of cover so they’re protected, even if you’re still shopping around.

Here at Lynbrook Vet, we offer GapOnly™.

Providing GapOnly™ means that your insurance claim can be processed on the spot, with you only having to pay your gap!

This saves you paying your entire bill up front and means there is no waiting around for your insurance company to process your claim and pay you back!

GapOnly™ claims are only available for pets insured with the following companies:

A GapOnly™ claim can only be processed Monday to Friday between 8:00am – 10:00pm and Saturdays between 8:00am – 5:00pm (AEST, excluding NSW public holidays).

There are also many non gap companies to pick from with other great benefits.

Vets Choice offers 4 weeks of free cover for pets under 6 months of age, offering you peace of mind whilst looking to make the right choice. Our team can even sign your new puppy or kitten up at their free under 16 week health check or at any consultation.

If your pet is older, or if you are considering changing from your current pet insurance company but are concerned your pet has some pre-existing conditions, it would be worth giving Vets Choice a call as they look at resolved issues differently and may be able to help.

    My 5 y.o. dog just had her first health scare with some tumours, and Lynbrook Vet helped us through the testing and removal process so kindly.They laid out all our options and were transparent about probable outcomes, minimising costs where … More they could.They checked-in with me throughout her surgery day with phone calls, texts and photos (non-surgical!) and patiently answered all of my questions at pick-up.I have taken my dog to Lynbrook Vet since adopting her 3 years ago, and continue to go there after moving further away because they are so wonderful.The staff in reception are always friendly and helpful and happily assist with all of our needs.It's nice to attend a clinic with a great culture, where the animals, and their humans' peace of mind, are their top priorities.

    I could not recommend both Lynbrook Vet and their sister vet Berwick/Clyde Vet any more. It is the best vet you will ever experience. We were desperate to find a vet to look after out little boy (he's a ragdoll cat who stopped eating … More and is also dealing with CKD) after being unhappy with our previous vet. We were recommended by our local community to take him to Jess who is working now full time at Berwick/Clyde Vet which has recently opened and her care (along with all the other nurses there), love, how switched on they are was one of the greatest experiences we've ever had. We thought that maybe something bad had gone wrong with his kidneys, but it was immediately picked up that one of his tooth was infected which explains the no eating (this wasn't picked up by the previous vet). Our little boy had to stay over night with a drip before going under and having 4 teeth removed. He's about to be 13 so this was a stressful situation with him going under. We were sent frequent updates with photos in the morning, during the day and just before we picked him up. They called me right before the procedure, during the procedure and right after to confirm everything was okay and if there were any updates. They knew exactly what to do and how to best keep him safe during this procedure. When we picked him up we were taken through all his blood work, x-rays and documents in elaborate detail so that we understood what everything meant and what was going on. They have even put us on a 6 month plan to get him to be as happy and as healthy as he can be when we return a week later for a free dental check up to see how his mouth is healing. We were given an aftercare plan. Pain medication that they had already been pre made!! I got a Toutube link texted to me that explains what exactly happened during the procedure. We were also given a tooth fairy certificate!!! (this vet is so extra I can't deal). This vet goes above and beyond, we saw a HUGE improvement the following day (he is SO MUCH HAPPIER) it felt like our little angel was at daycare and I could not recommend going to this vet enough! THANK YOU so much. We are eternally grateful for looking after Oscar so thoroughly.

    1000% recommend!!!! This is such a stunning vet, everyone is so friendly and forthcoming, we have been seeing them for the past 4 months with our little staffy boy Stitch! He loves it there as everyone loves him and gives him all the attention … More he needs, we have had nothing but incredible service from all the staff there. Stitch went in today for a procedure and we felt so happy and safe leaving our boy there, everyone cares for your pet, like they are family. It’s truly the best experience we have ever had with a vet.It’s a definite must, as when your little ones aren’t feeling the best they make you feel better because they keep you in the loop every step of the way!We also did puppy pre-school through them which is incredible as well as he now associates the vet with such a happy feeling we never have him worried about the vet visit… and besides that all the love and care he gets when he walks through the Lynbrook vet doors!Truely amazing
