We spoke with Dr. Simone Maher, Chief Veterinary Officer at PetSure, about the rising cost of pet healthcare and how owners can avoid bill shock. From breed-specific risks to unexpected vet bills, we unpack the insights from PetSure’s 2025 Pet Health Monitor, an annual deep dive into what Aussie pet owners are really spending.

We spoke about the costs of dog breeds - who are the most expensive? Maybe your lab has eaten something they shouldn't have, or maybe your greyhound has a twisted stomach. Oh no! A great chat, and some good advice in there for any dog owners or prospective pooch profligates.
