What is Vet consult fees and do I need it?

Vet consultation fees are what you pay your vet when your pet needs to see the vet for treatment when they're sick or hurt. 

We don't cover routine checkups or vet visits relating to routine, preventative treatments, vaccinations or getting your pet desexed. 

You can choose to include or exclude coverage for vet consultation fees related to treatment for illness or injury with your Petsy Insurance policy. 

You might not want vet consultation fees covered with your policy if: 

• You already have a vet plan that covers regular health checkups 
• You work in the veterinary industry and get discounts 
• You’re a senior citizen and receive pensioner vet visit discounts 

If you don't add vet consultation fees to your policy, it means we won't pay for the vet consultation fees for your vet appointments. We can still help with eligible treatment costs, but not the fees for seeing the vet, even in emergencies or after hours visits.
