Pet Insurance
Pets are often considered to be members of our family. With their loyalty, cuteness, and displays of affection and appreciation, it is hard not to love them. However, as any pet owner can testify, when a pet is hurt or gets sick, the costs can amount to as much as they do when a human gets sick.Our Pet Insurance, incorporates the necessary coverage needed for dogs and cats, in order to provide protection for pets and their owners. This insurance product provides coverage for veterinary care in case of illness or accident, theft or loss and expenses associated with the death of the animal. The basic coverage offers compensation of the value of the animal in the event of accidental death or theft, reimbursement of veterinary care costs caused by an accident, the costs of the pet’s stay in a kennel or cattery when the owner is hospitalised, the cost of advertising the pet’s loss in the media and reward in case the pet is recovered, legal expenses and third party liability cover. The policy also offers some optional coverage. The customer can opt for coverage of veterinary expenses due to illness. With this cover, we will reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred for veterinary fees such as tests, surgery, anaesthesia and hospitalisation in a vet clinic up to a maximum of €1,000 per policy period. Customers can also opt for cover whilst travelling with their pet outside Malta.
