Why do you need a pet insurance?

Are you getting a cat, dog, rabbit or parrot? Then it is wise to think about pet insurance in Belgium. Veterinary costs can add up quickly, especially for operations or long-term treatments. An insurance covers (part of) these costs. This way, you ensure that you can get your pet the best possible treatment without financial worries.

  • Peace of mind. With insurance, you know that expensive care is often (partially) reimbursed.
  • Saving money. Because you don’t have to pay all the costs yourself, you save on veterinary bills each year.
  • Flexible coverage. You choose a policy that fits your pet and your budget.

Compare pet insurances from Belgium

When choosing a policy, you pay attention to several factors:

  • Premium and deductible. The cost of your insurance depends on the type of animal, age and breed. Older animals or certain breeds (such as short-nosed breeds) may have higher premiums or sometimes not qualify.

  • Reimbursements. See what percentage of treatment costs are reimbursed and the maximum insured amount per year.

  • Coverages. Compare which treatments are included (e.g., surgeries, medications, dental care, physical therapy).

  • Waiting time and exclusions. Note waiting times after you close and exclusions (for example, treatment for hereditary conditions).

  • Reviews and service. Read experiences of other pet owners about the service and quick handling of claims.


Comparing is very easy: request online quotes from different insurers, adjust your desired coverage and immediately see which policy best suits you and your pet. This way you can find the cheap pet insurance that suits your needs in terms of coverage, without compromising on reimbursements.
