Best pet insurance company in Australia!
Thanks to Knose our cat Louis is alive after kidney failure and a bypass operation. Without insurance it would have been too expensive to proceed. Knose has paid the claims promptly and the service team has been excellent in responding to our queries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consider pet insurance for my cat or kitten?
It’s common for cats to require veterinary attention at some point in their lives, and the severity and cost of such care can be unpredictable. Our cat insurance is designed to provide extensive coverage for unexpected injuries and illnesses your cat or kitten may face. Knose offers extensive plans catering to cats and kittens living with you in Australia. We prioritise your cat’s well-being and don’t impose sub-limits, ensuring they have access to veterinary treatment whenever they need it most.
We don’t provide cover for certain cat breeds that are considered dangerous or banned in Australia. If your cats breed falls under this category after purchasing or renewing the policy, they will no longer be eligible, and we will send you a notice of non-renewal before the expiration of your current Period of Insurance.
Moreover, cats engaged in commercial or sporting activities, such as breeding, working, fighting, racing, personal protection, gun sports, law enforcement, or guarding, are not eligible for coverage. However, there are exceptions, and we do provide cover for pets engaged in specific activities like show cats, etc.
Our insurance for cats and kittens cover accidents, injuries, illnesses, and even essential euthanasia. You can also add optional extras like dental illness, behavioural conditions, and specialised therapies to suit your pet’s unique needs.
We welcome cats and kittens as young as six (6) weeks and up to eight (8) years and 364 days old. For cats younger than three years, you can also add optional extras. And once your cat is covered, there are no age limits for renewals.
We believe in keeping things simple and flexible. With Knose, you won’t encounter any sub-limits, so you can claim for eligible vet bills up to the annual limit. You can choose from various Annual Limits of $7,500, $12,500, or $25,000, and Benefit Percentages of 70%, 80%, or 90% to suit your unique needs.
No, we don’t cover desexing, grooming, or training services for cats as these are considered routine and elective care. Our pet insurance for cats and kittens is designed to step in when unexpected accidents or illnesses occur, giving you peace of mind when it matters most.
No, routine and preventative care like vaccinations, check-ups, and grooming aren’t covered. We focus on helping with the unexpected, so our insurance provides support when your cat or kitten needs medical care due to an illness or injury.
For routine care, you may opt to subscribe to our Knose Pet Care Plans ↗.
