Pet Insurance

 

Pet insurance is becoming increasingly popular in Australia and we encourage our clients to take out pet insurance where appropriate.

 

Pet Insurance will give you peace of mind that you can provide an excellent level of care for your animal should they should they become unwell or involved in a trauma. Unfortunately veterinary care for many of the unforeseen things like snake bite and vehicle trauma can be very expensive and pet insurance can help ease the financial burden.

 

We do not recommend any specific insurance company but are happy to refer our clients to consumer advocacy groups such as choice.com.au who routinely offer comparison between companies.

 

Below are some links to some of the pet insurers that our clients are currently using.

You can also contact your existing insurers for home and car(eg HBF, Medibank) as many of these companies will also allow you to cover your pet if linked to another policy.

Grooming & Bath Services

Unfortunately due to ongoing operational difficulties around the COVID pandemic, as of January 2022 we are no longer offering grooming services.

Long term, we remain committed to offering grooming appointments for our regular clientele but cannot see this being possible in the intermediate future. It is likely following the end of the pandemic that we may be able to reinstate a regular grooming service and will make an announcement accordingly when that time arrives.
