Our History
How Did Our Pet Insurance Story Start?
After many years of being in the pet industry game, we started to realise that pet owners just couldn’t afford the rising cost of vet care. We started to offer to pay for their vet bills to make sure their pets receive the best treatment, not only because we know pets are important to owners, but because we are passionate about our customers and their pets. No animal or person should suffer, because of something as simple as expensive vet care. Receiving the money back was not a priority for us. The health of the pet was far more important.
After a bit of thinking and our unprecedented motivation to always look after our four legged friends, we launched PIA in 2008. Since then we’ve seen concerned expressions about financial worries disappear and relieved smiles appear, witnessing first-hand how beneficial pet insurance could be. Thousands of customers, including you, can now benefit from their pets being insured.
Who We Are
We Are Specialists In Pet Insurance
We are pet owners ourselves, so we know the joy our four legged friends can give us as well as the heartfelt pain you experience when you lose them. That is why we focus only on pet insurance to ensure that your pet is always covered in case of a specified accidental injury or illness.
