Pet insurance

Since medical costs for animals continue to rise due to the new GOT emergency service, as well as ever newer surgical procedures and healing methods, we have tried to put together an overview of the best-known pet insurance companies here.

What are the most important pet insurance policies?

If you are the owner of a dog, cat, or pet such as a rabbit or guinea pig, you have probably considered pet insurance at some point. With one you can protect your wallet if your companion has to go to the vet or accidentally harms other people. Although the insurance covers you comprehensively, you only have to spend manageable amounts on it each month. Depending on which pet insurance you choose, the protection will only cost you a few euros per month. This can prevent unpleasant surprises, especially in cases of unexpected operations, which can quickly cost thousands of euros, even for dogs or cats.

But regardless of whether you want to protect yourself from high veterinary costs for your dog, cat or pets or just want a minimum level of coverage in case your animal harms third parties - always compare different offers in advance. For example, dog liability insurance can cost you 40 euros or 140 euros per year.
