Pet Insurance
Why it’s worth it and what to look for
All Groodles Australia puppies come with a 30-day free, no-obligation insurance trial through a joint initiative with Greater Springfield Veterinary and Trupanion.
It’s a good window to experience how insurance works, and to do your research, before committing to a policy of your own.
We encourage all new puppy owners to seriously consider ongoing pet insurance.
Veterinary medicine has come a long way — there are treatments available today that simply didn’t exist a decade ago — but advanced care comes at a cost.
A comprehensive policy can cover up to 90% of your vet bills, which means if something unexpected happens, you can focus on choosing the best treatment for your dog rather than the most affordable one.
There are plenty of providers out there, and they’re not all the same. Some specialise solely in pet insurance, while others bundle it with home or car cover. Premiums, exclusions, and claim limits vary widely, so it’s worth taking the time to compare.
A few things to look out for: whether a condition is covered for life or only for twelve months, whether the policy covers illness only or both illness and accident, and what the excess and annual limits look like. The level of cover you choose will be reflected in your premiums, so it’s about finding the right balance for your budget.
We’re always happy to help our new puppy owners with advice on choosing the right pet insurance — feel free to get in touch. pu
