Pet Insurance

Hi

I have searched the forum but cannot find any threads that deal with pet insurance in Spain. We are planning to take our 2 pups across to Spain with us in May when we move over there (providing their pet passports are all sorted) and I am in the process of getting quotes for insurance for them. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which company to use? Has anyone had an insurance in the nuk that has then transferred over to Spain on a permanent basis and kept the same insurance, or do we need a Spanish insurance policy?

Any comments would be appreciated.

No recommendations , sorry.

We used SALTSBAY last year for buildings/contents & they insure pets too. Click my blue link.

Hi Jan, I took my 2 cavaliers over to Spain last year, they are insured with 2 different companies as I just kept them with the one they were with when I purchased them. My eldest dog is with Pet Protect, but they would only cover insurance for 30 days abroad. My younger dog is with Petplan and they insure for up to 90 days abroad. Last year they were really good and let me insure my other dog with them for the 2 months I was away. Fortunately I did not have to call on them for any disaster.

However I have spoken to them this year and they will only insure the older one for 30 days like Pet Protect this year, so I probably won't bother.

Hi

I've had a quote from Protectapet that has european cover, so they will be covered for our travelling, and they cover the whole life of the dog, rather than the policy I had for the last dog which would only cover him until he was 8, at a fixed annual premium, no increases as the dogs get older and no increases even if there have been claims, so at least we would know exactly what we would be paying for them every year. They are sending me full T&C to read, but it does sound to suit my needs so far on what I have been told.

Because my last Cavi got ill when he was 5 and needed a lot of treatment, x-rays, ecg and medication, and died when he was 6 years (and in the last couple of months I was at the vets every week with him) I do feel I want insurance on the pups. It may be after I have been in Spain for a couple of years and get familiar with vets charges etc, I may change my mind.
