Animal Insurance
Since by the new emergency service GOT, but also newer and newer surgical procedures and methods of treatment, the medical costs of animals are also increasing, we have tried to compile an overview of the most popular animal insurance companies here.
Which are the most important animal insurances?
If you own a dog, cat or pet animal such as a rabbit or guinea pig, you have probably already thought about animal insurance. With pet insurance, you can protect your wallet if your pet needs to go to the vet or if he or she accidentally harms other people. Although the insurance provides you with comprehensive coverage, you will only have to spend manageable amounts of money on it each month. Depending on which pet insurance you choose, the protection will cost you only a few euros per month. This can prevent unpleasant surprises, especially in cases of unexpectedly upcoming operations, which can quickly run into thousands of euros, even for dogs or cats.
But no matter whether you want to protect yourself from high veterinary costs for your dog, cat or pets or whether you only want a minimum insurance in case your pet harms third parties - always compare different offers with each other in advance. For example, a dog liability insurance can cost you 40 euros or even 140 euros per year.
What animal insurance policies are there?
