The Finder Pet Insurance Awards showcase the best pet insurance products across two key categories; value and comprensive. Our methodology has been curated to help pet owners find the best fit for their furry friends by comparing 100+ prices and 160+ features. See our pet insurance winners below.
Best Pet Insurance - Value
Highly commended
petinsurance.com.au Platinum Cover
Petinsurance.com.au came in highly commended for value. It scored highly because it comes with high cover limits for features yet still offers a comparatively inexpensive policy.
Coles Comprehensive Cover
Coles pet insurance was also highly commended for value. This is due to its pricing which remains competitive and its features which are consistent with more expensive policies.
Best Pet Insurance - Comprehensive
The best comprehensive category is for those who want higher benefit limits without the hefty price tag.
Petinsurance.com.au's Platinum Cover won this year's Finder Award for comprehensive because it covers more than other insurers but is still a comparatively cheap policy.
Highly commended
Pet Insurance Australia Major Medical Cover
Pet Insurance Australia came in as highly commended for comprehensive because its policy has a high maximum yearly benefit, high reimbursement rate and routine care is included whereas it's often an optional extra for many other policies.
Coles Comprehensive Cover
Coles pet insurance was also highly commended for comprehensive. This is due to its pricing which remains competitive and its higher reimbursement rate.
