Pet Cover - Pet Insurance

As much as we love our pets, accidents do happen, and vet expenses can be high. So we've introduced an optional Pet Insurance cover for injury to pet dogs and cats that you can include with your GIO Home & Contents insurance for an extra premium. With this option you're covered for up to $500 for vet expenses if your pet dog or cat is injured in an accident.

When you insure your Home & Contents with GIO, you can relax knowing that if the unexpected happens to your home, we'll help take care of your insurance for you. That's why we've designed our Home & Contents insurance and after-claims service to help things get back on track sooner.
