AA Pet Insurance provides cover for dogs, so you can get the treatment needed if your dog is ill or injured.

AA Pet Insurance for cats is designed to help cover the costs of unexpected vet bills so that you can rest easy.

Pre-existing conditions

Unlike most pet insurers in New Zealand, we can cover some pre-existing conditions if your pet has been symptom-free for 18 months.
