Why choose Booster Care?
While standard pet insurance covers the big stuff, like costs to treat accidental injuries, and illnesses , Booster Care steps in to broaden cover. Specified dental conditions and specialised therapies are some of the most requested benefits among pet owners in Australia, and now you can add them to your policy for cover up to $2,500 each year.13
This can mean more proactive healthcare for your dog or cat.

- Gingivitis

- Dental disease arising from infection
- Retained deciduous (baby) teeth

Inclusions: Specialised Therapies
Pets, like humans, sometimes require ongoing care beyond surgery and medication. Specialised therapies can make a big difference in your pet’s recovery and long-term wellbeing. Booster Care provides coverage for a range of treatments when prescribed by a veterinarian to manage or treat an eligible condition.
Covered therapies include:
- Physiotherapy or physical therapy - performed by a qualified animal physiotherapist or vet.
- Chiropractic manipulation - provided by a qualified animal chiropractor within a veterinary practice.
- Acupuncture - carried out by a veterinarian.
- Hydrotherapy - conducted in a veterinary-owned pool or treadmill by a qualified animal hydrotherapist.
- Behavioural conditions - prescribed medication and diagnostic tests for behavioural conditions diagnosed by your vet or a veterinary behavioural specialist.
- Consultations with a veterinary behavioural specialist.
These therapies can be vital in helping pets recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve mobility, and quality of life.
How Booster Care Works
- Booster Care is an optional add-on to your Pet Insurance Australia policy.
- The limit for Booster Care of up to $2,500 is applied in addition to your Select and Protect cover annual benefit limit.
- Your chosen excess and benefit percentage still apply.
For example:
Lucky the loveable Labrador requires $1,200 worth of physiotherapy following ACL surgery. His loving owners have added Booster Care to their pet insurance policy with 90% cover and a $100 excess, Pet Insurance Australia will reimburse up to $980. This means Lucky’s owners cover $220out-of-pocket
Instead of being faced with the full $1,200 bill for Lucky’s full recovery, his owners can focus on getting their loveable Lab back on their paws—running, playing, and enjoying life—while we take care of the majority of the costs.
