Why Your Greyhound Needs Specific Pet Insurance

Watching a greyhound stretch out on the couch is bliss. They’re gentle, affectionate and built for speed — but their unique build (deep chest, fine skin, low body fat) also means specific health needs over time. Pet insurance for greyhounds helps cover diagnostics, medications and surgery so you can focus on care, not costs.

As greyhounds age (and even during playful zoomies), certain risks can crop up. Common health issues to keep an eye on include:

  • Corns and pad lesions
  • Skin tears and lacerations
  • Osteoarthritis and joint issues
  • Dental disease
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Gastric dilation-volvulus (bloat/GDV) risk in deep-chested breeds
  • Eye conditions (e.g., pannus, cataracts)
  • Heart or arrhythmia concerns
  •  
    With PetsOnMe you can choose a plan that fits your budget and your dog’s needs:

  • Accidental Plan — $5,000 annual limit (injury-only)
  • Classic Plan — $10,000 annual limit (accidents + illnesses; hereditary sub-limit applies)
  • Deluxe Plan — $20,000 annual limit (accidents + illnesses; higher hereditary sub-limit plus dental illness cap)
  •  

    You can claim up to 80% of eligible vet bills (after your chosen excess of $100 / $200 / $300), use any licensed vet in Australia, and lodge claims online — most valid claims are typically paid the next business day once we have what we need.

    Important: Waiting periods, limits, sub-limits and exclusions apply. Pre-existing conditions are generally not covered. Always read the current PDS & FSG to decide if the product is right for you.
