About pet insurance
Pet insurance looks like the insurance we hire to cover people. For example, it would be the case with health insurance where we want to receive medical care in the event of illness or accident. Well, pet insurance is a lot like our health insurance.
This type of policy protects animals from an incident in their physical condition that helps avoid the costs they may have at the veterinarian. But, at the same time, they can cover the Civil Liability of the owner in the event of an accident with third parties.
The hiring of pet insurance is not mandatory for all animals, and only potentially dangerous dogs have to have, by law, insurance that covers their Civil Liability. At Ubica we recommend hiring them, regardless of the animal, in order to provide the pet with a healthy lifestyle and the property of the owner is protected if there is any claim for damage that may cause.
Without this insurance, pet costs can be very high, which will mean that some households cannot properly protect animals. Pet insurance is the best option to supplement household insurance. Household Liability covers incidents that the pet may have caused to a third party. But for little more money, pet insurance will complete the protection in RC and give you excellent veterinary assistance.
The main basic coverages:
- Veterinary assistance that guarantees a complete care of the pet, including consultation expenses, diagnostic tests, laboratory analysis, surgical interventions, hospitalization and expenses of veterinary care at home.
- Civil liability in case you cause damage to third parties
- Accidental death
- Theft of the pet
- I lose in case he gets lost. Some insurance companies help in the search of the animal with the necessary advertising and localization expenses.
