Comparison of cat insurance

It pays to make a close comparison of various cat insurance products. The insured benefits, the monthly premium and the term are just a few of the points that should be looked at. In addition, the deductible and the sum insured can be freely chosen so as to avoid having to pay unnecessarily high premiums.

Good to know

  • Cat insurance covers treatment costs in the event of illness or accident.
  • Good insurance cover can be obtained for less than CHF 20 per month.
  • In addition, alternative medicine and complementary services can be insured.

Cat insurance protects against high costs

Despite taking the best possible care of them, cats can also fall ill without warning, making a visit to the veterinarian necessary. Small infections can rapidly cost CHF 1,000 or more. Surgical procedures and broken bones cost upwards of several thousand francs.

Without cat insurance, veterinarian bills have to be paid out of one’s own pocket.

Insured benefits

You have the option to insure your cat against illness and accident. The following benefits are covered by insurance products:

  • Veterinary treatments
  • Surgical procedures and operations
  • Euthanasia
  • Stays in an animal hospital (with food)
  • Emergency transports by animal ambulance

FAQ

Insurance is worthwhile, especially for young kittens.

Tip: Insure only the essential things for your cat and keep the deductible at about CHF 200.

  • Congenital diseases
  • Cosmetic procedures
  • Accidents and illnesses that occurred or existed prior to taking out the insurance
