Most people visiting our website are looking for cheap insurance. With inflation the way it is in New Zealand at the moment, money is getting tight! With New Zealand being such a dog-loving nation, we’ve thought the below guide on cheap dog insurance might be able to save our readers thousands over the life of their dog.
We’ve spent about 15 hours getting a range of quotes from most of the cheapest dog insurance brands, and we’ll publish our findings below.
If you don’t have the time to read our full guide, then we’d suggest taking a look at what dog insurance brands have deals on below, and then getting a quote from the top two or three.
There are a few ways to get cheap dog insurance, whether it simply be shopping around, increasing your excess, lowering your cover, or choosing a co-payment.
By far the easiest way is simply taking 10 minutes to shop around.
Getting a dog insurance quote online takes under two minutes from most companies, and you aren’t obligated to purchase the policy when you’re just getting a quote. Some companies will ask for your phone number when getting a quote, but you can always just enter a fake number if you’d rather not get 20 follow up calls from pesky salesman (Try AA Dog Insurance or Cove Dog Insurance if you don’t want to give your phone number, and would rather just do things online).
We’ve listed five brands below which all have cheap dog insurance options. Each of these brands will give you a quote online, so start here, and then once you have quotes toggle the excess up and down to compare apples with apples (more on this further down the page).

No brands above are a recommendation from Compare.org.nz or an indication that a brand or product is the best in its category. We do not compare all pet insurance brands available in New Zealand, so it is important for you to do thorough research and compare all options and find the right product for you, based on your own personal circumstances.
Get your own quotes as these quotes are only a snapshot in time. Pet insurance prices can change frequently, so you might find different prices for these scenarios if re-done today.
