Thread: Pet Insurance - who are good to deal with?

I'd have to recommend FMG after using them for 20 years for dogs

I feel ya pain Mikee. My last Rottie girl did one cruciate ligament then 6 months later ( as predicted) she did the other one. Not to mention the hypothyroidism which meant 13 pills a day for many years. Then infected uterus ( 2K for emergency hysterectomy ). Sometimes the "fun" never seems to end. I was lucky I could afford all that plus more for my other Rottie boy then Huntaway. Must be in for a spend free run for the next yapper

What's the premiums and cover like for them Brads. Do they do pet dogs or mainly rural working dogs.
They wouldn't insure my house since they said it was "too old"

hey sorry I don't no but will find out for you,
they do all our pets dogs and working dogs and have never questioned a claim, all we need for a claim rather than a vet cert which some companies need is a valuation from a livestock agent.
Most of our buildings are over 100 years old so the last part surprises me.

Cheers mate, My place was built in the 1920s and I got a straight out no. If you are already a customer it might be different but when I was looking to change insurance companies I was shopping around and they excluded themselves

I havn't used them yet, the dog has to be 6 months. but seems pretty good, I forget the amount the pay towards each claim. but it seemed good when I spoke to them. alot better than $80/month.

Just looked up FMG's dog cover - pretty much replacement cover for farm dogs - will pay vet bills upto $1000 to extend working life / prevent death. Replacement value for accidental death or theft. I do live rurally on the Inlaws farm so could do that but if they'll only cover $1k i'd be better off saving the $ towards bills as mentioned.

Have been asking round, have southern cross medical insurance so sounds like I can get a package deal there - looking into it. I know that it may be money for nothing in the event that you don't claim but i suppose it's piece of mind and as mentioned you hear of some pretty steep vet bills

Package deal is 2.5% discount if I remember right. Not significant we have a few policies with them and its still a huge cost.
