Suncorp Pet Insurance Review
Suncorp has been one of Australia’s leading insurance companies for over 100 years. It is a Top 20 ASX-listed company, with nearly $100 billion in assets, so it would seem like a great place to turn to for pet insurance.
However, while Suncorp offers a wide range of insurance products – from home insurance to car insurance, life insurance to health insurance – it is yet to introduce pet insurance to its line-up.
Protect Your Pet With Suncorp
So, is there a way to protect your pet with Suncorp?
Actually, there is. If you take out home and contents or contents-only insurance with Suncorp, you have to option to add on an extra feature that protects dogs and cats in the event of injury. Here’s how that feature works.
If a pet dog or cat shown on your certificate of insurance is injured in an incident, Suncorp will pay for necessary veterinary treatment (up to $2,000 per accident).
To benefit from this cover, you will pay extra on your home and contents premium, and should you need to make a claim, you will have to stump up an excess specific to this add-on.
What’s not covered?
Treatment for:
- any illness,
- harm caused by something the animal has eaten or any other digestive system ailment,
- coronary failure or coronary thrombosis (e.g. a heart attack),
- veterinary expenses incurred after your pet dies (e.g. autopsy or disposal costs),
- routine, elective or preventative veterinary treatment such as vaccinations, de-sexing or heart worm testing,
- any pre-existing condition or injury that existed before you took out this cover,
- insect bites or infestation by insects such as heart worm, fleas or mites (treatment for tick bites and tick poisoning is covered),
- injury caused by or arising from a business activity such as security, racing, farming or grazing, but not including breeding or showing.
