25% off Pet Insurance for the LIFE of your Pet

Pet Insurance Australia is proud to announce their biggest promotion to date – 25% OFF Pet Insurance for the LIFE of your pet*.

“Running from 10th of February 2020 until the 23rd of March 2020, any Pet Insurance Australia policy purchased during this period will receive an impressive 25% off premiums – for the LIFE of your pet*” Nadia Crighton from Pet Insurance Australia says. “This open to cat and dog owners nationwide.”

With many new pet parents looking for pet insurance there’s no better time to get your beloved bundle of fur covered.

“Pet Insurance Australia has never offered this type of saving before and is really a once in a lifetime opportunity for Australian pet lovers to make some sensational savings on their pet insurance premiums.”

As long as there is no break, or change in cover, the 25% discount applies for the LIFE of the pet and is calculated as one-quarter of the annual premiums spread evenly over each policy period and deducted from each premium installment.

The discount will be factored into the premium displayed on your Certificate of Insurance each year.

“At Pet Insurance Australia, we understand that the decision to insure your pet can be a difficult one,” Crighton says. “Most consumers do not appreciate the importance of insurance until the unthinkable occurs.”

This is what has spurred Pet Insurance Australia to come up with this unique opportunity for pet owners – 25% off new policy premiums for the LIFE of the pet.*

“At PIA we want every pet owner to have access to care and treatment for their pets,” Crighton says. “Having pet insurance can give pet owners a helping hand to access these services.”

“A pet eating a corn cob can cost $14,000, and high-end cancer treatments can cost $25,000,” Crighton says. “All insured pet owners hope they never have to use it, but a pet insurance policy can help protect your loved ones when the unexpected happens.”

With savings like this,  Australians can consider the peace-of-mind that pet insurance can provide knowing their pet has access to cover that can help during times of sickness and injury.

“Every day we see first-hand the real-life effects of having pet insurance and the lives saved,” Crighton says. “Being able to offer such a wonderful promotion to allow more companion animals access to our insurance policies is something PIA is very proud of.”
