Pounce Pet Insurance is underwritten by The Hollard Insurance Company, one of the biggest insurers in the world. They offer four levels of pet insurance for cats and dogs – Indoor Cat, Basic, Standard and Premium – letting you choose a policy that works for you.
What we like about Pounce Pet Insurance:
- Each Pounce policy comes with a different percentage back (the amount of a claim the company will cover you for). You can get 80%, 85% or 90% of approved claims paid for, up to your annual limit.
- Pounce has zero excess. If you need to make a claim, you won’t have to put anything towards it.
- $20,000 annual limit. It comes with a high annual $20,000 annual limit.
- No sub-limit with a Premium policy. Unless specified otherwise, there’s no sub-limit with its top policy, meaning if you need to spend thousands on one condition, you can.
A few things to consider:
- Pounce Pet Insurance has a few benefit limits you need to be aware of. This is the maximum amount you can claim for a specific treatment over the course of a year. For example, paralysis tick benefits come with a $1,500 limit with Premium cover.
- Certain conditions aren’t covered, such as pre-existing conditions. You also don’t get cover for epidemics or pandemics.
- If your pet is 8 or over, the percentage benefit lowers to 65%, 80% and 85%, depending on the policy you go for.
