Everyday Pet Insurance Review

- $30,000
- Reimbursement rate
- 80%
- Routine Care
- Optional
Summary
Money off your shop once a month and up to $30,000 annual limit are among the reasons to choose Everyday pet insurance (from Woolworths).
Everyday pet insurance can cover up to 80% of eligible vet bills if your cat or dog is ill or accidentally injured. It offers 5 policies to suit a range of budgets: Comprehensive Plus Cover, Comprehensive Cover, Standard Cover, Basic Cover and Indoor Cat Cover.
- It's good if you shop at Woolies. You get 10% off your Woolies shop every month.
- Its $30,000 annual benefit limit for the Comprehensive Plus policy is better than any other provider on the market. Out of 22 policies, only 2 (Potiki and PIA) offered the same or slightly more ($31,145).
- It comes with free access to VetAssist with every policy. This lets you video call or online chat with a licensed Australian Vet.
- It pays 80% of eligible vet bills which is relatively standard, though some (like Petsy) give you 100% back.
- Its 10% Woolies groceries discount isn't convenient if you prefer to shop elsewhere.
- If your pet has a chronic pre-existing condition or is a non-domestic pet, you won't be able to receive cover.
