What is the Pet Health Hotline?
The Pet Health Hotline is another line of defence in your pet’s wellbeing. Find out if you need to take your pet to the vet, ask specific questions or get general advice, any time day or night.
It doesn’t replace your local vet, but it does give you 24/7 access to expert advice and peace of mind for those times when a vet visit isn’t practical.
Registered vet nurses
Every person on the other end of the Pet Health Hotline is a trained, registered vet nurse, many of them with more than a decade of experience.
Fast call-response times
Typically, your call will be answered within just 30 seconds, so you can feel comfortable knowing help is on hand when you need it.
Unlimited access
There is no limit to how often you can use the hotline. Whether it’s health questions or general advice, answers are just a phone call (or live chat) away.
What can you use the hotline for?
The Pet Health Hotline is ideal for those times when you need advice, but your local vet is unavailable, or when you notice changes in your pet, but you’re not sure if you need to visit your vet.

Hopefully I don't ever need to use this insurance but I wanted a plan just in case. I looked into a few options to insure my new pup and found Knose offered one simple plan that was easy to understand and provided great limits. With three coverage options of my choosing, and at affordable prices, I have chosen to opt for 80% coverage. After noticing errors in my policy (my mistake) I needed to contact customer service and make some changes. I found the staff at Knose to be extremely helpful and quick in their responses. Really lovely to deal with.

Knose have been able to answer all my questions, whether they've already known the answer or had to call me back (And yes, I did get a callback in fact it was the same day) and it's left me feeling very confident in protecting my pup with Knose. The policy is extremely easy to read in comparison to other insurers’ giving me the clearest understanding of what I am and am not covered for.
As an insurance professional I'm very picky with my insurances and customer experience & am so far beyond impressed with Knose's pet insurance product and their customer service.
Keep up the great work!

I recently purchased pet insurance from Knose. The very next month, I noticed the dog had a sore ear, so off to the vet. Made this claim and was quickly contacted by the team. Claim was processed and money was in my account. Thanks Knose!

Over the years with different babies, I've tried three different insurance providers. Knose being the third one.

Without a doubt Knose provides the friendliest service and quickest turnaround... If you are looking for a company that genuinely provides customer service who meets their obligations under their policy, Knose is the way to go.

Quick, simple and reliable! I've been with Knose Pet Insurance for over 3 years and have not been disappointed once. Low premiums, 90% refunds and a high refund rate. If only other insurance companies were more like this.
