Pros and cons

Pros

  • The pricing model is monthly, so the cost of cover is spread across the year.
  • Support runs on phone, email and chat, so help is available by more than one channel.
  • Claims can be started through online claim portal, email [email protected] and phone 1300 356 642, so an owner picks the channel that suits them.
  • Cover is available from a young age at signup, with no upper age limit on renewal.

Cons

  • The annual limit of Up to 25,000 AUD annual limit caps the total a single policy year can pay out.
  • Only pet cover is listed, so there is no bundle with home or travel insurance.

Who it suits

  • Australian pet owners who pay month to month and prefer a broker to place the cover.
  • Owners who want claims handled through online claim portal, email [email protected] and phone 1300 356 642 across portal, email and phone.
  • Pet owners whose animals age during the policy, since there is no upper age limit on renewal.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting policies bundled in one place, since Good Sam Insurance Agency lists auto, home and renters against Knose's pet-only pet.
  • Owners after motorcycle and travel cover alongside pet cover, which bonus.ch lists as auto, home and life.
  • Buyers who want dental and home cover with pet cover, since ComparaJa lists auto, life and health.

Frequently asked questions

How is pet cover paid for at Knose?+

The pricing model is monthly, so the policy runs month to month rather than as one annual charge. The excess starts at AUD 0, which is the level most owners compare first, and the annual limit stands at Up to 25,000 AUD annual limit.

What does a Knose policy pay out?+

Cover is offered for pets, and the payout is capped at an annual limit of Up to 25,000 AUD annual limit per policy. The insurance types listed are pet, so this is a single line of cover rather than a bundle with home or travel policies.

Is Knose regulated in Australia?+

Yes. Knose is licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission under AFSL 523921, and the legal entity behind the service is Knose.com.au Pty Ltd (ABN 70 680 822 986, AR 1311940). The business was founded in 2017 and operates from AU.

How are claims made?+

Claims run through online claim portal, email [email protected] and phone 1300 356 642, so an owner can start online in the claim portal, send an email or call the phone line. The channels listed are available throughout the policy, so a claim can be started whichever way suits the owner.

Can an older dog or cat be insured?+

Pets can be insured from a young age at signup, and there is no upper age limit on renewal, so an older pet stays covered once the policy is in place. That renewal point matters for owners whose pet ages during the policy term.

What support is on offer?+

Support runs on phone, email and chat, which covers phone, email, chat and a help centre. Owners can pick the channel that suits the question rather than relying on phone only, and claims follow a separate route through online claim portal, email [email protected] and phone 1300 356 642.

Is Knose an insurer or a broker?+

Knose is listed as a broker, so the cover is arranged on behalf of an insurer rather than written by Knose. Its insurance types are pet, which keeps the offering focused on pets.
