Which pets are covered?

Currently, we offer cat health insurance for cats, who should be over 8 weeks old or under 9 years old when the policy is purchased. They may not be eligible for coverage if they suffer from certain pre-existing conditions.

What’s not covered?

Surgeries for pre-existing conditions

Operations for illnesses, accidents, congenital, genetic or acquired abnormalities of which you were aware prior to the start of the policy.

Breed standardization procedures

Treatments and operations that serve to establish the respective breed standard that are not deemed medically necessary.

Brachycephalic syndrome treatment

Treatments and operations required due to brachycephalic syndrome, such as the operation on a soft palate that is too long.

Cats must not be 9 years old or older

Your cat must be at least 8 weeks old and no older than 9 years old on the start date of the cat health insurance.

Some considerations

Waiting Periods

There is a 1 month waiting period before you can begin using the policy. However, this doesn’t apply in case of accidents, or (for standard cover) preventative treatments. There is also an 18 month waiting period for surgical eyelid corrections and hip joint dysplasia.

Deductibles

When it comes to deductibles the choice is yours - pay a little more and enjoy peace of mind with a €0 deductible for covered medical expenses, or save on your monthly premiums and opt for 20% deductible when the need for treatment arises.

Frequently asked questions

Cat health insurance: What is the difference between surgery and standard insurance coverage?

Surgery coverage only covers the costs directly related to an operation.

Standard insurance is pet health insurance that also covers surgeries and the additional costs that are incurred for other treatments for your animal, such as outpatient treatment costs, physiotherapy, preventive services, or certain dental treatments.

An operation is a veterinary medically required surgical intervention under general or local anesthesia to restore the pet’s state of health.
