Hello!

yesterday we picked up our 8 week old fluffball, a long haired male german shepherd :) He is absolutely gorgeous :)

I've just been looking online at different pet insurance companies - currently looking at medibank pet insurance.... but thought i would ask on here to see if anyone had any recommendations for pet insurance?

never insured a pet before lol was expecting to pay about $40 a month which with medibank would give me accidental and illness cover but is it worth going for routine care cover too where u claim back on vaccinations etc?

any guidance would be fab thank you!

Would love to see photos, I use to breed and train GSD's before I started in the veterinary world.
Having had to wait for insurance companies to pay out I would say pet plan http://www.petplan.com.au and PIA http://www.petinsuranceaustralia.com.au/ are probably the top two companies over here. Although the insurance premiums seem to go up every year whether you make a claim or not.

My next door neighbour has a huge long haired shepherd ..... the most gorgeous, lovable, gentle, and soppiest dog I've ever met, and I don't like GS's at all usually.
