25.01.2022 Meet the very sweet Harley #PIAFurryFamilyMember "Harley had a nasty fall and had to be rushed to emergency. The vet said she was showing signs of a possible spine injury and appeared to be in a lot of pain. After several scans & tests the results came back with a bulged disc. Although we hated to hear our sweet little girl was in pain, it was a sigh of relief it wasnt anything more serious. She was put on some strong pain killers, a fentanyl patch and was restricted to a crate rest for 2 weeks. We are so happy Harley has made a full recovery and very glad we made the decision to cover our pets with P.I.A who took the financial stress out of the whole situation." - James Stedman 2020

19.01.2022 Meet a very special and stunning #PIAFurryFamilyMember, Ellie. "Pet Insurance Australian continues to be great to deal with. The online portal is easy and convenient to use. The acknowledgment of claims and prompt processing is also appreciated. Ive also found the premiums to be competitive. Most importantly the peace of mind that it provides knowing that we can do all we can for Ellie is fundamental. Weve had only positive experiences with Pet Insurance Australia, and I... know the insurance industry in general doesnt always provide the expected service. However, my experience with Pet Insurance Australia has been reassuring in times when weve needed it. Although Ellie is physically well at present, her osteosarcoma, even with chemo after her amputation, has metastasized to her lungs and the prognosis is not positive. However, we are savouring the time we have with Ellie while she is still vibrant and energetic." - Martin, 2020 See more

09.01.2022 Meet the adorable girls, Mitsy, and Coco #PIAFurryFamilyMember. "I cant say enough about how easy and wonderful PIA have been. I picked up the girls on Thursday from the vet hospital. On Friday I received notification that PIA had received our claim. On Monday the funds rebate had been deposited to my account.

08.01.2022 Meet the stunning Princess#PIAFurryFamilyMember. "Princess had her toe fractured while playing with her best buddy, Maxi, and it took 2 months for her full recovery. We are really fortunate to have chosen PIA as our pet insurance. PIA and Green Cross Vet have all our claims processed on-site and we only paid the gap. Usually, for other insurance companies, you have to pay and wait days or weeks for your claim to be processed to get your money back. Princess diagnosis including X-Ray was really expensive and we would have been in trouble if we didnt have PIA to support us at the time of our need. No need to mention that PIA offers the same coverage of most insurance companies but at half of their price!" - Armin, 2020

07.01.2022 Why our Vets love Pet Insurance "Makes me feel much more comfortable that I can give the gold standard treatment for the pet without having that difficult chat about money " -Dr. Lewis Kirkham from Two Vets Talk Pets Podcast.

07.01.2022 As Millennial cat and dog owners entered the world of the pet industry, alternative and tech-oriented trends have been altering the way we care for our pets. From raw diets to dog massages, it seems nothing is too strange or too human for our animal companions. Recent findings have shown that humanizing and pampering pets is just starting to take form, as pet parents increasingly treat their four-legged friends as they would their own children or even themselves. Have you tried any of these trends with your pet?

07.01.2022 Meet Missy, the beautiful and Michevious #PIAFurryFamilyMember. "Missy has had a big life in just three years and I think shes used up 2 of her 9 lives. She had licked the icing off the top of an orange cake and ended up in hospital overnight with pancreatitis. Then about 12 months later Missy was bitten by a snake and hospitalised for 12 days flushing the venom out of her system. Thankfully the snake venom smolders in a cat and isnt an instant killer. PIA processed both claims quickly and knowing that she was covered for both incidents was a huge relief not having to worry about the vet bills." - Erin, 2020

07.01.2022 Meet the gorgeous Gypsy! #PIAFurryFamilyMember "Gypsy was found to be limping, after taking her to the vet we found out she had popped her Patella out and needed a ridgestop patella repair. Pet insurance Australia was great through the whole process of the claim very easy to use the pet portal to submit the claim. After the surgery, Gypsy had to stay in overnight and we picked her up the next day. We put the claim in late on a Thursday night, then on Friday, I received a message to say it was being processed on Monday. It got approved and I received the cheque by Friday. Was really happy with the whole process of gypsy claim. Gypsy is now doing well and has fully recovered. Thanks so much, Pet insurance Australia." - Gypsys loving owner, Cheryl, 2020

04.01.2022 Puppy scamming has increased recently and according to the ACCC, almost a million dollars has been lost to puppy scams this year alone. Here are our tips to prevent becoming the next victim of this emerging international trend: Check you breeders prefix, and membership registration number. Call the affiliated club and ask lots of questions. Check images by using the google reverse image searcher, to double-check they are not stolen from another website. ... Ask for images of different angles and newspapers with dates shown. Check emails and all correspondence for grammatical errors. Additional and surprise costs are a major red flag. If possible - meet the breeder in person or organize a zoom meeting. Ask about the pups/kittens mum and dad - their pedigree and show names. Research. Be patient - many breeders have long waiting lists. Find out more: https://bit.ly/3kRVZwl See more

02.01.2022 Pets are part of the family, so if anything is disturbing or nagging them, the entire household suffers. And while we work hard to keep our homes tidy and keep insects and parasites at bay, dogs and cats love playing outdoors and running around in the grass, which is unfortunately where pesky pests call home. While most insects are harmless to our four-legged friends, some can be toxic and even deadly. Find out to keep your pet safe from common summer pests: https://bit.ly/2Iaipd6
