Pet Insurance

Good morning 

We too are looking for recommendations for pet insurance

Thank you

Hi Beauly

Any luck? I think we might have to ask around when we get there! Are you already in Spain? Be great to know if you find anything out. 

Hello there. We have been here for 10 years in Spain  but not all that time in the village we are in now.   We had our last dog insured with Pet Plan.  Don’t know how competitive or good they are now.

Will let you know though !!!!

Regards …..

Thank you! I will also check them out amongst others. 

We moved here six years ago with our 4 year old Retriever. In his first two years in the UK he needed operations (intestinal blockages) that cost £8000 so we were glad to have Pet Plan insurance, which cost us £25 month when we began but by the time we left for Spain had gone up to £75 a month. So that was £900 a year!

We were advised that vet fees were far less in Spain and that pet insurance here is not a thing. And so it proved to be. Fortunately he has not needed any surgery but he has needed occasional investigations and treatment (including ultrasound, antibiotics etc) but in the last 6 years it’s doubtful that we have spent in total more than €500. Obviously standard protective treatment such as leishmaniasis, annual boosters, flea and tick treatment, worming, and rabies jabs are additional expenses - but again, much cheaper here in Spain.

So - he might at any time need a major op, (cross fingers) but it would not be the small fortune that it is in the UK.
