Annual Benefit Limits + Co-Payment Rules in NZ Pet Insurance

Annual benefit caps range from ~$15,000 (entry tier) to unlimited (comprehensive). Co-payments (the % the owner pays after excess) range from 0% (Cove) to 20% (Tower) across NZ insurers — this can double or halve a real claim payout. Excess options also matter: lower excess + higher co-pay vs higher excess + 0% co-pay are different economic shapes. This page consolidates the cost-side rules verbatim.
