Is pet health insurance a waste of time?
Several thousand euros for a surgery? Pet owners would rather take out health insurance for their dog or cat. But is such a policy really worth it?
More than €1,000 for a cat's tooth extraction, €5,000 for a dog's hip surgery, or a few hundred euros a month for your faithful companion's heart medication: If your beloved four-legged friend gets sick or has an accident, it can really add up. Taking out pet health insurance for a few euros a month, which protects the owner from such costs, seems like a good idea. Or is it? How good or bad such policies really are, and how to find suitable contracts – a guide.
