Cat insurance
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 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.
