Pet Med Savings are one of the benefits that make Oneplan Pet Insurance about more than just emergencies. Available on selected plans, they help cover eligible routine veterinary expenses, making it easier to manage the ongoing costs of caring for your pet.
From annual vaccinations and parasite prevention to chronic medication, everyday veterinary care plays an important role in your pet’s long-term health. While unexpected accidents can happen, it’s often these routine treatments that you’ll use most throughout your pet’s life.
What are Pet Med Savings?
Pet Med Savings are designed to help cover eligible routine and preventative veterinary expenses that aren’t covered under accident, illness or hospital benefits.
Rather than only helping when something goes wrong, Pet Med Savings support the everyday treatments that help keep your pet healthy throughout every stage of life.
Routine care is one of the best investments you can make in your pet’s long-term wellbeing. Preventative healthcare can help detect problems earlier, reduce the risk of serious illness and keep your pet happier and healthier for longer.
What do Pet Med Savings help cover?
Depending on your Oneplan Pet Insurance plan and available benefit limits, Pet Med Savings can help with eligible day-to-day veterinary expenses such as:
- Voluntary sterilisation
- Annual vaccinations
- Deworming treatments
- Tick and flea prevention
- Anal gland expression
- Dental scaling and polishing
- Nail clipping
- Chronic medication
- Hydrotherapy and physiotherapy where applicable
- Eligible shortfalls and excesses within your available Day-to-Day benefits
These routine treatments may seem small individually, but together they can become a significant part of your annual pet healthcare costs.
Why routine pet care matters
Preventative care helps your veterinarian identify health concerns before they become more serious and expensive to treat.
Keeping up with your pet’s routine healthcare can help:
- Protect against preventable diseases
- Keep parasites under control
- Maintain healthy teeth and gums
- Manage chronic conditions
- Support your pet’s mobility and overall wellbeing
- Improve your pet’s quality of life
Routine veterinary care isn’t just about treating illness. It’s about helping your pet live a longer, healthier life.

Need even more support? Add the Pet Med Booster
If you’d like additional help with routine veterinary expenses, eligible Oneplan Pet Insurance plans offer the option to add the Pet Med Booster.
The Pet Med Booster increases your available Pet Med Savings while removing qualifying excess payments, giving you even more support for eligible day-to-day veterinary care.
It’s a great option for pet parents who want extra financial protection against the ongoing costs of keeping their pets healthy.
Pet insurance isn’t just for emergencies
Many people only think about pet insurance after an accident or serious illness.
But routine healthcare is just as important.
Vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental care and chronic medication all play an important role in your pet’s wellbeing, and these are often the costs you’ll encounter most frequently throughout your pet’s life.
Having pet insurance that supports both unexpected events and everyday care can make managing your pet’s healthcare simpler and more affordable.
