SPCA is New Zealand’s most recognised and best-loved animal welfare organisation. At SPCA Pet Insurance, we are dedicated to helping pets and their owners lower the costs of pet ownership by providing flexible dog insurance and cat insurance options to help reduce the cost of vet bills. By purchasing a SPCA Pet Insurance policy, pet owners are also supporting the great work of SPCA, helping vulnerable animals across the country.

We understand that qualified veterinarians and veterinary nurses are essential in assisting with the protection and maintenance of pet health. For that reason, we aim to provide support to people who are interested in getting into roles which are related to Veterinary Medicine, Animal Care and Animal Sciences with our annual grants program.
