Outsurance Pet Insurance DO NOT TOUCH

Hello There

I took out pet insurance with Outsurance in January 2025, not the entry plan, but a quite expensive plan that could almost cover the cost of insuring a car, only to find out that they actually do not cover if your pet has two accidents in one year. My boxer had a small incident in April 2025, and they paid me R3k after my excess deduction of R900. Then, in November 2025, he had another accident that required surgery of R28k, which I paid for, and when I claimed my money back, less the excess of R900, I was told they would not pay this amount because it was the second accident in 12 months. I asked if I could refund the R3k, and they can pay me the R27k they refused to do so, bearing in mind I am paying for R35k cover for the year. I found this to be grossly unfair but this is how they operate. I was not going to complain until I saw their new ad for R65 / month cover, and I wondered what this policy would cover because I paid a premium of R368 / month. So if they get 1 million people to take the R65 / month cover and not pay out for anything, they make R65 million per month, quite clever, but to the detriment of the public. This is just another example of *********** people who love their animals. Very sad, and they should be ashamed.

I received a call from Outsurance, only to be reminded that you pay for R35 000 accident cover on your dog, but you can only claim for one accident per year. So if the accident is R5000, you lose the R30 000 cover. If I knew this at the beginning, I would never have taken this policy, and I think nobody would either.
